@nhoodpublicist @KevCoke6 Airlines are now using AI for “dynamic pricing.” It allows them to look at what you search and what you buy to determine the cost you’ll pay. It doesn’t work all the time, but try buying a ticket as a guest, as opposed to logging in. It’s also a way to completely jam the

In 2019, West Virginia spent just roughly 22 percent of TANF dollars on basic assistance, a proportion that has shrunk significantly over the past several decades, reducing the reach of the program to families in need.

Kamala Harris called it in 2019: “This president is motivated by his personal insecurities more than he is our national security. If this president is thinking about putting us in a position where we’re in a war with Iran, the consequences will be absolutely unacceptable and

Contact your lawmakers today and tell them to vote no on HB 5582, which expands drug testing in the TANF program. You can send them a letter using this link:
Rather than punishing Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients by extending the state's drug screening pilot program through HB 5582, West Virginia must recommit to providing basic assistance to families. Learn more in our new blog post:

New: Thursday at the Senate, lawmakers said they’ll move forward with a bill to roll back several homeschool regulations, but sidelined a bill known as Raylee’s Law that would pause a parent’s homeschool request if there’s a child abuse investigation. https://t.co/Jt12o9PVPA

Senate Republicans passed a bill out of committee that would strip all requirements that homeschool instructors teach math, science, reading, or even have a GED. Minority Lead Woelfel moved that the Senate reject the bill outright, but the GOP supermajority voted to progress it.

Got some info from a FOIA that I put in this story: West Virginia CPS workers still are not making face-to-face contact with children within the required time frame as determined by the severity of the abuse or neglect allegation. The rate has improved, though.
New: Senate Judiciary Committee vote yes on mandating that CPS workers wear audio recording devices while investigating abuse and neglect cases. Social workers have numerous concerns, including safety and privacy for families and kids. https://t.co/cjyQfC0tSb
