#HoldTheFloor: Dems are staying up all night to #StopDeVos

In between impassioned floor speeches, Senators are taking to Twitter to express gratitude to constituents for their thousands of calls and give encouragement to make more; announce what late-night hour they will be “holding the floor”; and offer an endless inventory of the reasons why this last stand in opposition to the “least qualified nominee in a historically unqualified cabinet” is so important.

Here’s a glimpse of the action:

Simply put: it is clear that Betsy DeVos has not done her homework in preparing for the job and we must refuse to confirm her. #HoldTheFloor
