Most of the Dems who missed the vote were here, Republicans just gavelled before they got in there (which is their prerogative when time has expired). But their arrival would not have changed the outcome of the vote since all Republicans except Massie voted in lockstep.

and the one in Berkeley County? if data centers were not complete garbage they'd let us vote on them. instead they shove them down our throats.
vote every Republican out in 2028.

as i noted back at the beginning of October:

“I told you exactly what was going to happen. Over and over and over, I told you,” said West Virginia senator Jim Justice. “I said really and truly, if you weren’t concerned and you were a Republican, you were living in a cave. That was my exact words.” theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
so the takeaway is the way to win in 2028 is for the GOP to keep doing the things that voters roundly rejected last week.
OK.

HR 1 also included significant cuts to SNAP & generated "savings" by shifting federal SNAP costs onto state budgets. So far 20k WVians have lost SNAP, costing about $4 million/month to our grocers in WV; and WV is on hook for about $50 million in new state budget costs
finally someone points this out. and the reason is that @SenCapito @JimJustice_WV did not fight for us. Massachusetts got a higher per capita rural resident than WV did because MA’s senators work for their constituents. Shelley and Jim only work for themselves.
Just to put this in perspective:
Medicaid funding losses from HR 1 are expected to total $6.5 billion in West Virginia between FYs 25-34; about $1 billion/yr once fully phased in. These cuts are permanent compared with a temporary (and smaller) RHTP shvs.org/resources/assessing…

The wealthiest 5% of WVians, with incomes over $500,000/year, are paying $1.2 billion less in state and federal income taxes, directly related to a lack of support for public schools, PEIA, health care, and infrastructure.

this is a tiny bit more than year 1. and year 1 was a disaster because @SenCapito @JimJustice_WV did not do their jobs, Massachusetts got more per capita money for rural residents than WV did. this is disgrace and no one is holding our senators accountable. source below.
