"Steven Menashi told me in writing: "I am proud of my work at the Department of Education and of the legal advice that I provided." His legal advice was to deny student loan relief to students who'd been cheated by for-profit colleges and to misuse private data to do it."
"A federal court ruled that the Menashi plan illegally violated students' privacy. The judge held Secretary Betsy DeVos in contempt of court and fined her for violating an order to stop collecting on loans held by the cheated students. Now Senate Rs want to make Menashi a judge."
"It seems unthinkable that Senate Republicans would reward an architect of Betsy DeVos's anti-student agenda with a lifetime federal judgeship. But they've scheduled a vote *next week* on Menashi's nomination. Senate Rs apparently think if they vote fast, Americans won't notice."
