I voted NO on DeVos’ nomination and am disappointed we fell short. We must fight to ensure our kids have access to a first-rate education.

Pence casts tie-breaking vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary. Grizzly bears lose. So do America's kids.

The confirmation of Betsy Devos is a prime example of why we must #resist and vote them out in 2018 & 2020.

And it only cost her family $200,000,000 in donations to the Republican Party. Nice work, #SwampDrainers! https://t.co/ktoyoxiOh7

People who don't understand why confirming Betsy DeVos was such a tragedy are exactly the reason we need a competent Education Secretary.

Betsy Devos got confirmed. Everyone who voted for her should be ashamed. Party before country. They're using children's education as pawns.

Betsy DeVos confirmed. What is also confirmed is that there is not one single man of courage in the Republican Congress.

Upcoming Betsy DeVos school field trips:
— Brian Altano (@agentbizzle) February 7, 2017
- Noah's Ark Science Academy
- Guy Fieri Memorial Museum
- National Park of Cool Turds
- Fireworks
DeVos may have been confirmed but that doesn't mean that the calls, emails and protests weren't worth it. This is only round one.

Senate just confirmed Betsy DeVos for @usedgov. Her only relevant experience – giving millions to GOP.
— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) February 7, 2017
Swamp: 1
Kids and grizzlies: 0
REPUBLICANS: Protect unborn children!
— Dan Ozzi (@danozzi) February 7, 2017
ALSO REPUBLICANS: Protect kids from trans perverts in restrooms!
ALSO REPUBLICANS: Betsy Devos is fine
The Bannon-Putin axis desperately needs uninformed and uncritical voters. For them, Betsy Devos is an investment in the future.

Betsy DeVos would not commit to upholding protections for campus sexual assault victims. 48 GOP Senators & VP Mike Pence said that's okay.

Thanks to each and every Minnesotan who took the time to reach out to me about Betsy DeVos. I heard you. I wish GOP would have listened.

betsy devos is a slap in the face to every hardworking teacher & every kid in public school. very sad day for the future of education.

Allowing Betsy DeVos to run public schools would be like asking a disconnected narcissistic billionaire to be presid- oh wait
