Looking at a beautiful pink sunset on the ride home from a WV Day gathering at Walker Creek Farms & thinking of my sweet WV Brown Dog #DailyScout who had two fun cabin visits there 🥺 🌈

Big thanks to @NCSLorg for wanting to recognize our @wvlegislature staff & huge thanks to Crafts of the Coal for serving up 90 minutes of joy in mega heat yesterday - go get a scoop of pothole or cookie jar today at the food truck roundup I just heard @DaveA70 talk about!

Thanks so much to @NCSLorg for today’s lunchtime treat! The @wvlegislature was the first state to reach 50 shoutouts during the 2025 Staff Appreciation Week. Crafts of the Coal was the perfect way to celebrate the year-round work by the Senate, House, and Joint Committee.

The actual Stirewalt-ism @TJMeadows304 that some of us have been told for the past 20 years is "no matter the thing, it can always get worse"

CChris Stirewalt@ChrisStirewalt · Jul 10

In politics, it can always get worse. It can always get much much worse. Good time to try out being responsible and dull citizens.

"The brain is not meant to process the type of stimuli that we experience in today's day and age, and the stimuli are increasingly hyper-engineered to grab our attention and be interesting, even if it's just a fleeting interest." popsugar.com/balance/tiktok…

AskAnnAli's tweet card. Experts say men sound authoritative when they speak louder, but women don't. On TikTok, that means women talk quietly while men yell.

OK. We're a little rusty at the travel game and had a minor tech hiccup. My bad. We should be rolling now, and thank you all for your patience. It's not a perfect science, but we're doing what we can to bring the meetings to you. ☺️
