Correction (I check since I rarely believe what I read on Twit), the vote was to limit debate. Confirmation tomorrow.

But it takes more effort now than it did a couple of weeks ago.

That may be so; this allows Collins to be ‘independent’ which Maine voters seem to like. Like West Virginia, Maine in many ways seems to be shifting right If they can reduce the number of government employees they’ll move more in that direction.

I would love to be present when DeVos enters her offices for the first time, watching the liberal exploding heads and eye rolling seizures all around.

Housecleaning! WOW!

This was the Dem’s wheelhouse at stake. Teacher’s unions, indoctrination, major funding, etc.

I pray President Trump and Sec DeVos move forward aggressively with needed changes and kick the corrupt education system in the teeth.

That’s great and I hope soon Betsy DeVos and Trump begin dismantling the unconstitutional Dept of Education.

Collins and Murkowski's new office in the basement!

I can't tell which one of them is that sitting there, but surely one of them!

***Praise God... move on to Sessions now!!!***

Agreed. Enough of this bs. We need an attorney general ASAP, especially him. I realize these other appointments are important, but not as important as his. McConnell needs to grow a damn spine and muscle his people into casting their yea vote, you know, like a real Senate leader.
