50. Just a side note since you brought up West Virginia

Fri Mar 27, 2026, 08:29 AM

Yesterday

Perhaps the youth of this dying city (people are abandoning it in droves) are fed up with politics as usual. Manchin in his sheep’s clothing conned us all, but especially the good people of this heartbreakingly beautiful state.
