Salon has a great piece out about how U.S. Senate candidate, John James (R. MI), has been trying to distance himself from the abysmal Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, as he tries to unseat U.S. Senator Gary Peters (D. MI).

Reporter asks press sec: If it's safe to go back to school, why couldn't Manafort stay in prison?
Because he’s the angel of death, Donald Trump is pressuring schools to reopen in the face of the glowing Skeletor skull that is coronavirus. Just yesterday, Betsy DeVos, the administration’s education something-something, told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that the administration is “very seriously” looking at withholding federal funds from schools that refuse to reopen. And Trump,…
Betsy DeVos 'very seriously' considering keeping federal funds from schools that won't reopen
Why do I get the feeling that coronavirus is a sentient hive-mind collective that’s infecting our leaders’ brains and forcing them to make stupid, pro-coronavirus decisions? How else can one interpret U.S. policy with respect to this pandemic? In an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson last night, full-time Christian soldier and education policy hobbyist…
The Koch machine is taking over college campuses, but one group is determined to stop them
For the few who don’t know the Koch brothers, they are Charles and his brother, David. (The latter passed away in 2019.) The boys inherited multiple billions of dollars from their oil baron father and were raised to believe in their own superiority. For their entire lives, they justified their selfishness through their fanatical devotion to Ayn…
D.C. restaurateur says he hides Betsy DeVos from people walking by his window
Trump administration officials are rightly pariahs, and that’s certainly true in D.C. and environs as much as anywhere else. We remember how Sarah Huckabee Slanders got 86’d from the Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia, and that time Kirstjen “Baby Cages” Nielsen got hounded out of a Mexican restaurant in D.C. And I applaud this kind of thing….

Congressman's statement on Trump's Special Olympics 180: 'Can someone pull Betsy from under the bus?
They got caught being soulless ghouls again, and unwilling to withstand another news cycle in which they’re painted (quite accurately) as insensitive toward some of our country’s most vulnerable children, Don and Betsy reversed course, withdrawing their proposal to cut nearly $18 million in funding for Special Olympics. (I mean, seriously. Trump spends more than…
An Open Letter to the Senators Betsy DeVos Bought With Her Money
Betsy thinks this is all that’s required to be an educator. To the Republican Senators who intend to vote for Betsy Devos’s confirmation as Secretary of Education because she bought the office in the 2016 election: “I have decided to stop taking offense at the suggestion that we are buying influence,” she wrote. “Now I…
