I haven't fact-checked this, but a trustworthy friend posted "Governor Abbott, when asked on television what we can do to stop mass shootings in the future, answered that the Bible says there's evil in the world and we just have to love each other and pray harder."

I was just coming here with that Salon article.
On the one hand, please be true.
On the other, I'm scared of what he will find to replace her.

This hearing is pretty fascinating. I cant live blog it because its been going on forever.
Rep Chu is asking if unborn child appears anywhere in the tax code.
Earlier questions were if a teacher buys pens/paper/pencils is that deductible? No it wouldnt Well if a business buys pens etc is that covered Yes as business expense.
There have been a bunch of questions about pass thrus, estate taxes and talk about the deficit

Finding a replacement will be hard I think with all the indictments being bandied about, and even harder, getting them confirmed. But by all means drain the swamp.

It would be wildly satisfying to watch her pack her bags and slink back to Grand Rapids

Rep Noem (R-SD) feels sorry for Mr. Barthold because people are shouty.
She also remembers over a dozen hearing on this bill (that no one else from the D side seems to)

Can it be worse than we need guns in schools because of bears? .... it can, canβt it? π¨ But seriously, like jkjacq said I think it will be hard to get a replacement right now. I hope.

Honestly, there are wonderful, dedicated bureaucrats at the DoE. We're better off with a vacant Secretary position

I can see how fucking with the student loan process and sexual adult victims' ability to get justice would be frustrating, Betsy.

π€π€π€ππππ What's hilarious is that she's "frustrated with her lack of influence." I guess she had higher ambitions than dealing blows to children with disabilities, victims of sexual assault and science-based education.

That New Yorker article could just as easily be about the Trump regime. Just change the names.

I'm wondering if DeVos resigning will give Trump/GOP an excuse to do away with the department. They've wanted that for a while, haven't they?
