The most extreme example I've come up with is in #WESTVIRGINIA, where a 64-yr old couple earning $84,601/yr would go from paying $599/mo to $4,898/mo. That's over EIGHT TIMES as much as they're paying today. (The example here is based on them earning $90K): acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

🤔“What can be done to get people across the aisle to care about the importance of funding childcare and childhood education?” At our first Kitchen Table Tour stop, community members brought the tough questions, and our delegates didn’t shy away from the answers. 🎥 Hear Del. Mike Pushkin's response

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

The ACLU of West Virginia is aware of efforts made by a local college to intimidate protestors participating in an anti-ICE demonstration today off campus. Volunteers will be on the ground in Bethany today and will be watching closely.

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez testified before a U.S. Senate committee Wednesday that she was fired after just 29 days because she refused to pre-approve vaccine recommendations or fire career officials for no reason, reports @jennifershutt.bsky.social.

How about we cut the voucher program and give this money back to public schools.

West Virginia House Democrats are launching a multi-stop “Kitchen Table Tour” this week in an effort to connect with residents and discuss pressing issues before the start of the 2026 legislative session.

Come join the Marion County Democrats for a fun night out bowling! This will be an informal, fun event - just a chance to hang out and talk. September 24th, 7PM-9PM, Fairmont Bowling Center. www.facebook.com/share/1JXzpf...

Congressman Riley Moore and the Republicans in Congress tried to fool you. The resolution they passed this week, HR668, does not disclose the Epstein files. For that, we need them to support the bipartisan Massie Discharge Petition. Why are so many Republicans in office committed to protecting ..

The Marion County Democratic Party firmly believes that those seeking public office must uphold the highest standards of respect, accountability, and integrity. Public service is a privilege that demands conduct that embodies these values at every turn.

As survivors of abuse inflicted by the late Jeffrey Epstein pleaded on Capitol Hill Wednesday for the release of investigative files, Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie accused House GOP leaders of using “the oldest trick in the swamp” to avoid the issue, reports @ashleymurray.bsky.social.

Social Security is a lifeline for workers, seniors and people who can no longer work. DOGE uploading the sensitive Social Security data of over 300 million people to an unsecured server puts everyone’s retirement security at risk. DOGE must be dismantled.

The state’s two teachers unions officially merged into one organization this month, forming a new labor union called Education West Virginia, reports @amelianews.bsky.social.

We applaud the Ohio County Board of Education for rejecting a proposal that would have allowed students to leave during school hours to undergo “biblical education” by an anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion religious organization. The constitution is clear: Our public schools are not Sunday schools.

This weekend, we learned of the serious allegations made against U.S. Senate candidate Zach Shrewsbury. In light of these allegations, which we find highly credible, we have withdrawn our endorsement for his campaign. Our full official statement below.

"I'm running for West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026. This is no longer about Democrats vs. Republicans or left vs. right; it is about democracy vs. oligarchy; freedom vs. tyranny. The choice is yours."

Guess What? MICA has a new YouTube channel! You can now watch the video from the May Town Hall we held, as well as the Kelly Allen installment of the MICA Lecture Series from July. We are making plans for more videos and content soon. Check it out! youtube.com/@mountaineer...

Alongside other nationwide movements, MICA will be sponsoring a Labor Day action as well. Meet us at the Coliseum from 11:00a.m. to noon with your signs and your voices. Because we believe in workers over billionaires.

West Virginia is selling four state-run senior care centers to a private developer. The buyer, Marx Development Group, is being sued for allegedly excluding disabled residents from its assisted living facilities.

FAIRMONT, W.Va (WDTV) - ICE protests began outside Governor Morrisey’s press conference on Thursday, August 14th, one day after Morrisey signed an agreement partnering with ICE.

Im really shocked it took this long. #fdt

This never turns out to be a good idea.

Breaking: The Department of Education has reversed course and is releasing all frozen funds – $6.8b nationally, $165m for North Carolina – after we filed suit last week. This ends weeks of uncertainty. Our schools can now plan and hire for a strong year ahead.

MICA is having a game day Saturday, but if you feel like joining an action instead, our neighbors in Fairmont with Friendly City Indivisible will be protesting from 2-4:00 at the Gateway Connector & Jefferson Street intersection. Find out more at www.facebook.com/share/1AgLjo....

A federal appeals court dealt a setback for President Trump’s offensive to end birthright citizenship, even after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the lower courts to avoid overly broad immigration rulings, reports @ashleymurray.bsky.social.

Trump froze $96 million meant for Kentucky schools. Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social took him to court. Now, every penny is coming back to our schools. This is what fighting for our kids looks like.

Trump's cratering in polls continues. Crushing new Gallup numbers: Overall approval: 37% On immigration: 38% On economy: 37% On trade: 36: Federal budget: 29% Overall approval among independents: 29% news.gallup.com/poll/692879/...

Dealing another victory to Gov. Patrick Morrisey and his executive order, a Raleigh County judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing 3 Raleigh County students to attend school with a religious exemption to the state’s strict compulsory school vaccination law, reports @lorikerseywv.bsky.social.

President Donald Trump has approved a Major Disaster Declaration and an Emergency Declaration for Ohio and Marion counties in West Virginia, unlocking federal aid for areas hit by severe flooding in June. #FEMA www.wtrf.com/top-stories/...

Many of you in West Virginia know me by now. But if you don’t, here’s who I am: I’m a West Virginian who grew up on a farm right here at home. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CMn...

I often comment about the size of my district being vast and daunting, but on a positive note it has provided me with an opportunity to meet wonderful, like minded, and caring people from every corner of it. WV still has some of the nicest people you can meet! Donate today! www.claypoleforwv.com

As a cyber reporter, I have strong feelings on the "politician says controversial thing, then claims to have been hacked" genre of news story. Often you can't say decisively they were not, but you can get 99% there, and that's crucial. @lorikerseywv.bsky.social does a good job with that here:

A GOP delegate in WV asked why Trump hasn't given his constituents disaster relief for floods last month that killed nine, then backtracked and claimed he was hacked.
