The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Betsy DeVos to lead the Department of Education by the slimmest of margins, capping off a rocky, high-stakes fight for President Trump's pick.

Okay, so are they ready to approve Sessions?
Trump needs to coordinate that with Gov. Robert Bentley. Make sure there's a replacement to appoint the instant Sessions' seat becomes vacant.
Indeed!
“You, you, you, you, and yes, you....YOU’RE FIRED!”
Yup. Murcowski is scum sucking lib number one.
I believe they are sending it to the floor for the big vote tomorrow.
"Murkowski received a 100 percent rating on a 2012 NEA Report Card, while Collins received a 75 percent rating—the only Republicans to earn marks above 50 percent from the group. Each senator has earned straight-A marks from the union since 2014.""Murkowski has long been a favorite of teachers unions. She was one of only four Republican senators to receive contributions from the NEA in 2016."
NTOWY!
So true. I’m praying.
LOL!! NAI!
When is the vote on Sessions expected?
.
Sessions has to wait until the tough ones are done, because his votes are needed.
.
The necessary changes are as follows:
End Common Core.
Shut down the department.
.
my concern is do they need Sessions vote to confirm Niel Goersuch (sp?)
Our district is concerned about high absenteeism because they lose their ADA money... their solution: Saturday School. A student who misses instruction during the week can come to Saturday School where they learn fun things like square dancing and art... that way the District gets to recover the ADA money for a day of that student’s absence.
Square dancing for truants!
Also in our district, students who are failing junior high are automatically passed to high school.
Straight f’s? No problem. We will promote you just like the other kids who gave their best.
The key now is retribution on the NEA — Swift and sure. We must return to LOCAL control as Trump promised so that we might teach the true history of this nation with emphasis on the male!! And get t6his junk crap science gone on global warming
A dirty tricky vote for help the liberal Collins and the utterly corrupt Murkowski who will still be loved and courted by McConnell and near his side in the days ahead.
You may be right...especially since both of them voted “aye” in committee and voted “aye” to allow her confirmation to come up for a vote. Ultimately their presence in the Senate still ensured her confirmation.
And what is ironic is that the Democrats by having used the procedural move to delay Sessions’ own vote allowed him to still be in the Senate in order to confirm DeVos. Had they not gummed up the works to delay Sessions’ confirmation, they may have won the battle on DeVos.
At least when they are square dancing they are not shop lifting in the local stores. Also in urban areas students get very little exercise which is one reason why obesity and related diseases are so common. Parents keep them inside for fear they might get shot in a drive-by.
Maybe Trump should use this lapse as an opportunity to fire a few more lefts DOJ staffers before Senator Sessions comes on board.
