Wonder why WV is so low? Because state code prohibits higher ed employees from serving.

FGA and OSP were 100% responsible for convincing WV GOP to cut unemployment benefits & their attempts to roll back child labor laws & cut Medicaid policies. (Instead the just cut Medicaid in the budget)

1/ On rounds at Grady Me: "How're you feeling today?" Him: "Well. I been better. That medicine y'all gave me made me run off!" My team looked puzzled. I did not. Me: "Oh no! You talking 'bout the medicine we gave you for your gout flare up?" Him: "Yeah! That one!"

Thank you The Register~Herald for running this op-ed. Kyneddi Miller's tragic story isn't just about the failures in the child welfare system or homeschooling policies but about adolescent mental health care. Gaps in care across rural #WV continue. register-herald.com/opinion/inside…

Folks who listen to music - esp those that use headphones a lot - do you not have a constant soundtrack in your head already?! Like, I found myself absolutely silent in the car w the radio off today, bopping to a heck of a concert in my brain. Is that not a thing for everyone?

Library books just hit different. ❤️📚👏🏻

I held my young daughter & cried as Hillary lost. I hugged my daughter & we cheered, as she colored a Harris coloring pg during the Biden/Harris inaug. Today, she squealed “OMG!” at the poss of Pres. Harris. I can’t wait to celebrate Pres Harris’s inaug w her. Let’s do this.

The worst part of election season is when women have to tell their greatest traumas in order to beg for our right to live knowing that some ham-scented brother-cousin is calling her a baby killer

Still thinking about West Virginia’s moment during the DNC Roll Call. Amazing.

My daughter has been alive through three elections. For two of them, Democrats have nominated a woman to the Presidency. That’s something to be damn proud of. Now let’s win this thing. #KamalaHarris #ForOurFuture

FACT CHECK: In Hoppy Kercheval's latest, the commentator makes a series of claims about the City of Morgantown's proposed camping ban. wvmetronews.com/2024/08/26/mor… Having covered homelessness for years in WV, I've added much-needed context to his claims....

This is the full exchange and it’s quite amazing.
