        @SenateGOP She's an awful pick for Sec of Ed. It's time to stop thinking about party and think about future.

        @daveweigel The Dems don't have any power or leverage but they haven't realized it yet; DeVos will get confirmed no sweat

        resistance is better than silence. Devos didn't know about the law for the disabled. Shockingly unqualified like perry Carson

        She's perfectly qualified to destroy public schools & make education a luxury of the wealthy. It's her point of existence.

        DeVos will be terrible for public education. 91% of children go to public schools. DeVos is bad for children.

        @eenayo Democrats are getting paid to protest often these days. Fiscal irresponsibility.
