@davsummers2 @wvdemocrats Actually I can tell you. Elon Musk should pay in at the same rate as everybody else and then we can expand benefits and lower the retirement age for everyone. Billionaires are economic waste, not grandmas Social Security check.

@davsummers2 @wvdemocrats So just ignoring the whole thing about how Social Security doesn't contribute anything to the deficit and has nothing to do with balancing a budget? It is entirely paid for with payroll taxes and it has never missed a payment. Where's the waste that they're cutting out?

What!? I am stunned. It seems if we just defund our rural public schools then naturally the private market will create schools in places where schools naturally lose money by existing. I guess what's happening is just a system where WV kids get educated if they can afford it
House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, the husband of a public school teacher in Clay County, told me, "For most West Virginians, school choice options don’t really exist ... The idea that we’re going to have widespread migration to other opportunities, I think it’s unrealistic.”

It was always a lie but honestly that wasn't gonna change how Morrisey behaved; Jim Justices budget shenanigans just give Morrisey and the AFP the cover they need to enact the cuts they want
.@JimJustice_WV budget surplus “was a sham”. Get ready for massive government cuts to vital state agencies that are already overwhelmed, underfunded and understaffed given WV GOP refusal to raise much needed revenue. @WVCBP

Hard to believe they ever thought there was an existential threat to Democracy when their reaction now is "why do you keep asking us to do something about it?" Worse are the Dems just saying "we told you so" and then also being indignant about being asked to do anything
Hakeem Jeffries and congressional Dems are finally getting angry and fighting back…against grassroots democrats who are flooding their office with calls to stand up to Trump/Elon. These pathetic losers are irritated that voters want to see them actually show some life as the richest man on the planet steals our government.

@SpeakerHanshaw notes here at @CAAlliance’s Eggs and Issues Legislative Breakfast that @elonmusk has pointed out the single biggest long-term need for the growth of AI is energy. West Virginia is here for it—we have the resources needed, and welcome the data center migration!

We're about to hear from all the people who don't understand "opportunity cost" that this is a savings
BREAKING: Elon Musk calls for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) remaining account balance of $711,586,678.00 to be returned to the American taxpayers.

Work requirements often cost more than they save, and work requirements cannot create jobs.
UPDATE: Johnson says looking to roll out details of budget tonight. Says any cuts to Medicaid won’t be to benefit levels. Fraud cuts and work requirements
