Cardona confirmed 64-33 in the full Senate. We have a Secretary of Education! Who was actually an educator and superintendent in an economically depressed town with all the social issues that prevent learning. 🤯 I can’t wait to see what he does.

Vanita Gupta and Lisa Monaco are in Senate Judiciary this morning.
Grassley doesnt like when DOJ directs settlements to non profits that are not direct victims.

I really dislike Mike Lee.
The GOP is SUPER concerned about paying settlements to 3rd parties. Thats basically been their entire line of questioning thus far.

OK who does Cotton belong to? Because someone needs to send him some shit on implicit biases.
He basically just set himself up to deny confirmation because she at one point said "all americans harbor implicit bias and racial biases" and he thinks that means she meant all americans are racists.
