@jacquebland This is very much me, except for that last clause.

If Justice wins the Senate seat, he plans to continue tutoring young athletes, despite the challenges of traveling from Washington D.C.

“I'll do the job as far as being a senator if it works out that way. But I'm going to coach.”

West Virginia needs child care, not child workers

[Doren Burrell @dualDoren]

Unbelievable.

It's pretty simple. If life begins at conception, IVF is off the table. If you make an exception for IVF then we're just having a conversation about who you're willing to make exceptions for.

A US serviceman self-immolating in front of the Israeli embassy in protest of the Gaza genocide while a first responder screams at police to stop pointing their guns at his burning body and go grab fire extinguishers just might be the most American thing that has ever happened.

@loreestark Livable space in your closet? Seems like that would be a bit cramped, but each person needs a space for refuge from the world.

Two additional issues I've seen direct impact on childcare in the fields my family and I work in are the CPS/ foster care crisis and a widespread lack of low income/ workforce housing which are not priorities this session. Let's work to make them priorities.

@BrianKarem That's what they said about the riot and the storming of the Capitol as it was happening in 2020.

@mirrabellala @sethano I agree that there are good and less expensive options than to play so self-important that the students and taxpayers have to pay the cost of your extravagant convenience.

WV Cognitive Dissonance:

WV legislator: "It's not the job of gov't to provide childcare for families." (ie women should stay home).

Same lawmaker: "We've got to do something about workforce participation because half the people stay home and don't work."

[Steven Allen Adams @stevenadamswv]

A major manufacturer in West Virginia raised concerns Tuesday that a lack of affordable and available child care could be a hindrance in recruiting new workers to the state, but lawmakers were largely dismissive of a need for government involvement.

@jacquebland Strike a blow for liberty and assert your right to Freedom of Worship. If anyone tries to stop you, claim that your religious freedoms are being repressed.

@jacquebland You were homeless for two years?

[Austin @AustinDizzy]

But Jeff Coben can't have been using private aircraft chartered by WVU to commute alone between Charleston and his home for his role as the WV DHHR Secretary ... right? Surely that wouldn't have been allow–

ah no wait, they literally put that in writing.
