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.
Rs have been worried for a week that their attendance issues would allow Hegseth vote to move forward Instead, 11 House *Dems* missed the vote

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

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.

$500 million in income tax cuts in recent years, with 2/3 going to the wealthiest 20% in WV wvpolicy.org/state-and-feder…
If WV can afford round after round of ineffective tax cuts for the wealthy, on top of the Hope Scholarship, it can afford $410 million for public education.

📍 SF bay area Wilbur is looking for a special home. He is ~11 years old and recently had to lose both his left eye and left arm due to cancer. He is a sweet, gentle boy who just wants to snuggle and purr and loves soup. He is FIV+ but can still live with other cats.

Remember that it was Dana White who introduced Don Jr to Umar Kremlev, the RU intelligence linked oligarch who sponsored his wedding (before he was outed). Imagine if he had accepted.

new from me: Democrats made gains in deep red West Virginia. The WV GOP had to resort to astro-turfing using hundreds of thousands of outside dollars. You Don't Eat An Elephant All At Once first-draft.com/2026/11/05/y…

Which one of these things would you call grassroots?
Never forget that in 2026, the Jefferson County WV Democrats scored as many general election victories as the entire statewide astro-turf operation of AFP-WV. But go off, king

Updated state of play in the House using race calls (mostly from NYT, DDHQ, and NBC)- 39 Dem flips, 2 [heavily gerrymandered] GOP flips, 1 runoff, ~31 uncalled races of which Dems currently lead in 10. A 260+ seat majority seems possible at this point.

It's Time To Punch Nazis first-draft.com/2026/11/03/i… "It’s definitely a race to watch." This is our @wvlegislature House of Delegates District. For the first time in a long time I have no idea what to expect.
