@WVFDW The AP assumed they had guaranteed access to the President’s office 😝 No reporter ever had guaranteed access to my office.

@pushkinforhouse @wvgovernor The state always has issues with Medicaid expenses but the Dept can no longer siphon off of health and healthcare facilities to balance it out. This will cause a deeper review into that budget and what the state is funding.

@wvcommonsenses @EvanWorrell4WV @wvlegislature But isn’t that an aspect of what is needed? People who may be struggling with health to discuss where those struggles arise. Is government in any way able to help solve? Not very many health professionals can take 60 days off of work so your committees are of those elected #wvpol

@GovernorShapiro Sometimes $$$ isn’t worth the societal cost! Plus every state that legalizes recreational will tell you a huge black market develops.

@jldobrinsky You did a great job! All the testimony and supporting data showed no harm would come to WV citizens if this costly law repealed. In fact healthcare costs may decrease and quality might increase!

@jldobrinsky @EvanWorrell4WV Wait until hospices start complaining-it isn’t a free market, there are only so many people dying. That is not fair to a families in a community with one provider who gives bad care. Competition drives up quality!

@CriticalSensei @RobertKennedyJc A lot of misconceptions regarding cholesterol. I recommend Blind Spots by @MartyMakary

@WVPress I have seen several opinion pieces regarding certificate of need laws in WV. What appears to be lacking is facts. There has been no “devastation” to rural healthcare in non-con states.

Thank you for explaining @elonmusk Some in the media are telling a different story.
To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following: - Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible. - All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING! - The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily. The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already! Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious. When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!! This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

@GovAndyBeshear Did this child have the vaccine? If not, are you shaming the family during this horrible tragedy?

What…Jill and Hunter have no security clearances? But wait…..Trump’s employees have access to sensitive data!
Joe Biden’s former campaign advisor explains that Hunter and Jill Biden sat in on the high level top secret White House meetings.

This was her first time on camera and I hope her last. @welovehistory and @VisitScotland we loved coming to tour our ancestry and would come again if welcome. This spokeswoman says we are not.
Irish woman says Trump supporters are not welcome in Ireland. ‘MAGA tourists not welcome.’

@politico We understand. We don’t want our tax dollars paying for political subscriptions. Enough said.
