Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Trump estranged you from your maga relatives.

He can also be the reason to mend those broken bonds.

Call your MAGA kin and express sympathy for their cult leader turning out to be a pedophile.

I bet they’re hurting right now and could use a kind shoulder.

We probably shouldn’t normalize deploying the military domestically.

i really think the only reason we haven't created new states — which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas — is that 50 is a round number

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

Addiction treatment, infant care and emergency rooms. West Virginians already need more of these services. Now Congress is voting to put the struggling health care system into full-on collapse. mountainstatespotlight.org/2025/07/02/m...
West Virginians already struggle to get health care. It’s about to get much worse.
Rural West Virginians lack ERs, addiction treatment and infant care. Congress is rushing through a bill to make survival even harder.

Shouldn't everyone celebrate Juneteenth? Like isn't it weird to add an addendum of "to those who celebrate" 🤣

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

West Virginia is one of the lowest ranked states. It will only get worse with the anti-vax, anti-medicaid, anti-medicare policies coming out of Washington.
This is the Texas Miracle you get after years of single party Republican rule: worst rate of uninsured adults in US (22%), 2nd worst rate of uninsured children (2%)-both twice national average- among lowest rates for cancer screening, vaccination, child doctor visits, youth mental health services.

This is like the one thing the Trump administration could do to lose the Olympics. International sports organizations don’t really care if a government has awful policies, but they absolutely do care if you’re denying travel to athletes
Five players, and thirteen staff members from the Senegalese basketball team have been denied visas to the US.

The team is here to prepare for the upcoming Afrobasket tournament.

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%.

What’s next on the agenda?
