West Virginia is the only state where median household income, adjusted for inflation, has actually declined from 1970 to 2023. National average is 32 percent growth.
When Republicans first took control of the Legislature, they made a big show of how much harder they worked than Democrats by meeting Friday afternoons and evenings, and frequently, on Saturday mornings.
Today, the Senate wrapped up its work for the week at 10:29 a.m.
BREAKING: ICE agents rammed this United States Marine veteran’s car and put her through torture just because she was following them from a safe distance. “they said ‘have you not learned: this is why we killed that lesbian bitch’”
Is this really what Maga voted for? For US military veterans to be beaten, tortured and made fun of?
Governor Josh Shapiro: President Trump ran on a platform of cutting the deficit—said he'd never knock anybody off of Medicaid. He's doing the exact opposite and screwing over some of the very people that supported him. Those rural hospitals are largely in communities that supported the president and those lifelines in those communities are going to be taken away.

Do I have that just about right?
NEW: Members of the Trump administration coordinated highly sensitive Yemen war plans on an unsecure group chat, which accidentally included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Goldberg wrote in a report for the publication Monday. https://t.co/KI2liTpCHy
Wow. Vaccines enjoy overwhelming support from regular WVns. The people pushing these policies are doing so to satisfy out-of-state think tanks/funders, not constituents.
🚨NEW: Elon Musk has defunded an education program that helped disabled students transition to life after high school.
RETWEET to let America know that @ElonMusk is cutting funding for disabled children!
REMINDER: Donald Trump said last month, if it were up to him, "I'd end (FEMA) right now." This week, 9 people died from flooding in Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Virginia.
He was busy riding around at Daytona and golfing at taxpayer expense.
