.@Aly_Sheehy FYI - Betsy DeVos uses FL school visits to expense long weekend trips (via Private Jet) to Vero Beach (Mansion) & West Palm (156ft Yacht at Rybovich Yard). Maybe you guys can get a pic of her having cocktails on deck https://t.co/N5MUbHU4XS #NeverAgain #DEVOSexposed pic.twitter.com/X9E9o5VoTa

Why is Trump tweeting about 3:30 PM meeting? Because @edhenry triggered him:

Guys, I kind of feel like if President Obama had paid hush money to a stripper just before his election and then she sued him, the GOP in Congress might have held a hearing about that. https://t.co/3FAxtOTVYp
