Jay Rockefeller’s story is fascinating.
His grandfather was responsible for the Ludlow Massacre in Colorado, which killed over 20 people, including 11 children.
He came to West Virginia and spent his career fighting for coal miners and became an honorary member of the UMWA.

For years, my dad battled Parkinson’s disease. On Election Night, I got to tell him, “Pop, we won.”
This morning, he passed away.
A part of me believes he held on just long enough to see his son make it to Congress.
He won’t be there when I’m sworn in. But I know he’ll be standing right beside me.
Rest easy, Daddy. I’ll take it from here. These next two years are for you ❤️
Zondria Lansdowne, the founder of a nonprofit store that provides free groceries and clothes for families, flipped a Berkeley County Commission seat.
Berkeley County shifted 27 points, more than any other county in West Virginia.
This is what the Democratic Party should be!
Rachel Fetty Anderson raised $35k compared to Shelley Moore Capito’s $8.75m
Fetty Anderson had less funding support than many state house candidates around the country and was outraised by *250x*
West Virginia still shifted 21 points towards Democrats and 3 counties flipped

1. Only stupid people believe in allowing politicians to have the power to choose their own districts. That’s like trusting a used car salesman to set a fair price.
2. Most people have mixed bags of views and don’t fit neatly into these bullshit ideological labels.
Why would we let establishment RINOs and Communist Democrats control a mythological independent redistricting commission?
Only stupid people believe in "non-partisan" fairy tales.

West Virginia's early vote through Oct 30: ~131K ballots, in-person plus absentee. That's 99% of the 2022 early vote, and in-person voting alone has passed 2022.
By party registration, it's R+2.5 so far. At the end of early voting it was R+10 in 2022 and R+19 in 2024. 🧵

We're now getting early voter data from the West Virginia SOS; here are some maps of early in-person voting by HD/SD. Compared with registered voters in WV, there's currently a 15-point statewide shift to DEMs. More data/comparisons to follow in this thread as we dissect.
World Series reaffirming my deeply held belief that sports played on fields should always be played outdoors (and on real grass)
This World Series is just the 3rd Fall Classic where every game is hosted in a venue with a roof + the 1st time in history every game will be played completely indoors.
2020: Globe Life Field
2023: Chase Field + Globe Life
2026: American Family Field & Tropicana Field
Dome field advantage.
