WATCH: During this season of giving and reflection, Gayle and I are reminded of the importance of family, the source of life’s greatest joys and deepest bonds. As this year comes to a close, let us all reflect on our many blessings as we celebrate with family & loved ones.
IMPORTANT: It is not funny to instruct your child to publicly approach Senator Manchin in a restaurant and scream at him for “ruining Christmas.” Please show some respect.
A conservative Trump voter in West Virginia just called out @JoeManchinWV on MSNBC for betraying West Virginians: “There’s a lot of people struggling and we need this right now.”
Senator Manchin is a wonderful Senator, he studies every situation, he loves our country and does not want to bankrupt just because wacko Democrats think money grows on trees and falls from the sky! Thank God for Senator Manchin!
No, the Senator does not support the BBB plan and no, he won’t go into specifics. Not because he doesn’t actually have any specifics, because he’s heading home for the holidays to spend some quality time with his coal mine.
ATTENTION: A white lifted Ford F-150 with a nutsack hanging from the dash is double parked in front of our office. If you are the owner of this vehicle, please move it immediately or it will be towed.
Weeks-long discussions between the White House and GOP negotiators led by Sen. Capito are officially done as talks shift toward a bipartisan Senate group

It's not enough to fix the roads and bridges we have. We've got to invest in transit, EVs, and bike infrastructure to prepare for the future and meet our climate goals.

Senate Dems holding fire on Manchin publicly, but angst rising behind the scenes
“Of course I’m frustrated. Who isn’t frustrated?” said one Senate Democrat. “Do you want to see the patches where I pulled my hair out?”

DHHR’s Mingo Co office will host a free #COVID19 vaccine clinic for those 18 and older June 10, 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m. at 203 E. 3rd Ave in Williamson. Moderna vaccines will be offered.
Senator Manchin would like to respectfully reiterate that he is not drunk with power. He is drunk with good ol’ fashioned West Virginian home brewed moonshine.
It feels particularly pointless to write anything, given that the entire democracy is apparently up to a white guy in West Virginia who is pretty sure that Jim Crow policies aren't *that* bad nor require urgent redress.
A few points of clarification:
- Senator Manchin is not, in fact, ‘living under a rock.’ He was temporarily underground looking at rocks.
- Senator Manchin brought the hard hat he’s pictured wearing from home - the same one all West Virginians are given at birth.
.@SecGranholm & I went underground today to see American Consolidated Natural Resources' Harrison County mine. Coal has powered our nation to greatness, and it is critical for the industry to seize on possibilities to apply innovation so we can create desperately needed jobs.
Senator Manchin remains committed to fighting for a bipartisan solution to preserve our democracy. Bipartisanship is critically important because [ADD SOMETHING HERE BEFORE SENDING TWEET]
