FACT CHECK: In @HoppyKercheval's latest, the commentator makes a series of claims about the City of Morgantown's proposed camping ban.

Having covered homelessness for years in WV, I've added much-needed context to his claims....

My daughter has been alive through three elections. For two of them, Democrats have nominated a woman to the Presidency.
That’s something to be damn proud of.

The worst part of election season is when women have to tell their greatest traumas in order to beg for our right to live knowing that some ham-scented brother-cousin is calling her a baby killer
It remains so refreshing to see a White House that gives daily press briefings.
Agree with the content or not, I sorely missed that regular touch base from White House to the American people in the immediate years prior. – at West Virginia, USA
I held my young daughter & cried as Hillary lost.
I hugged my daughter & we cheered, as she colored a Harris coloring pg during the Biden/Harris inaug.
Today, she squealed “OMG!” at the poss of Pres. Harris. I can’t wait to celebrate Pres Harris’s inaug w her.
Let’s do this. – at West Virginia, USA
Folks who listen to music - esp those that use headphones a lot - do you not have a constant soundtrack in your head already?!

Is that not a thing for everyone? – at West Virginia, USA

Thank you @Register_Herald for running this op-ed.
Kyneddi Miller's tragic story isn't just about the failures in the child welfare system or homeschooling policies but about adolescent mental health care.
Gaps in care across rural #WV continue.

⬇️⬇️⬇️ I have been waiting on public records from WV foster care leaders since last year about kids living in hotels, campgrounds, etc. I haven’t been granted an interview w/ them since a foster care investigation I published in 2021.
“For several months, the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services has refused to sit for an interview or answer many questions about sending hundreds of foster children to spend days or even weeks living in office buildings around the state.” wdrb.com/in-depth/kentucky-c…

Ok let's do this.
I'm live tweeting the mife arguments.
Let's find out if the Court is going to consider "abortion makes me sad and deprives me of the opportunity to make eyes at pregnant gals" as a form of valid Art. IIII standing.

On rounds at Grady
Me: "How're you feeling today?"
Him: "Well. I been better. That medicine y'all gave me made me run off!"
My team looked puzzled.

Him: "Yeah! That one!"

Wonder why WV is so low?
Because state code prohibits higher ed employees from serving.

FGA and OSP were 100% responsible for convincing WV GOP to cut unemployment benefits & their attempts to roll back child labor laws & cut Medicaid policies. (Instead the just cut Medicaid in the budget)
