And on the right to read

Thank-you #WVLegislature for wanting to make it impossible to checkout Mark Twain or Judy Blume from the library so that I can spend all my time making fifty (50!) gallons of moonshine, for personal use only, a year in my basement. It’s almost as if they want us stupid & drunk. pic.twitter.com/2EyUZA9AW2

Only in West Virginia

So unless Alex Mooney surprises, we will have coal baron vs. coal baron for a U.S. Senate seat given up by a coal baron:

So I wrote in this article that the WV Senate race is going to be coal baron vs. coal baron. I had Joe Manchin in mind, but since he ceded the floor ex-Massey CEO Don Blankenship, found guilty of negligence in a mine explosion that killed 29, stepped up. https://t.co/VAG11WCdg6

Finally, note how Obamacare continues to be important to the health of West Virginians

From the Kaiser Family Foundation:

At least 21.3 million people have signed up for ACA Marketplace coverage.

The 5 states with the highest percent increase in signups from 2023 to 2024 are WV (80%), LA (76%), OH (62%), IN (60%), and TN (59%): https://t.co/qMYYeqlrnH

And Democrats get so little credit for it.
