She said they are very, very worried about what will happen when summer break happens in a few weeks (they get out in May). Their school district participates (participated?) in a summer food program where food insecure families signed up to receive weekly food sent directly to their homes. Last summer they shipped 2200 boxes of food every other week. The summer food program was federally funded through a contract that no longer exists.

She ended her social media post with: Please, if anyone has any contacts working with the Trump team or in the White House, please share this so it gets in front of the right eyes. We need Trump to fix this mistake.

Mistake. They think it was a mistake. They think this was an honest mistake that he'll quickly fix if he only knew about it.

HOW CAN THEY STILL BE SO BLIND & CLUELESS? It's mindboggling.

Apparently the whole state of West Virginia is heavily dependent on federal aid, and Trump won by a landslide.

All I know is that I am not donating on cent to West Virginia or any other state that voted Republican in this election.

Most of the smart people left WVa long ago.

Yes, they got their free, quality educations from WVU and left the state to make good money elsewhere. It's been a HUGE problem for the state for many years now. They've done several studies to find out why and it all boils down to better pay elsewhere and better quality of life outside of the state.

I remember when I was there, I had a work-study position under a professor whose team was studying what was different between BYU and WVU. Both states offered free to nearly free college educations to their students (LDS members for BYU & students who passed a state test in WV-I forget the name of the program), but unlike WV, nearly 60% of BYU's graduates stay in the state of UT after graduation and contribute to the UT economy. In WV, 72% of college graduates leave the state after graduation and contribute to the economies of other states.

Odd study. Mormonism keeps the LDS students in Utah. They want to meet other Mormons, and they are more likely to meet more of them in Utah. Plus, they will have family in the state or a nearby state most likely.

Due to the strong family and religious ties related to BYU, I don't see how someone could compare WVU to BYU.

Trump’s Project 2025 includes a “Plan for Women” that would strip women of basic rights: transferring financial assets from women to male guardians, ending workplace protections for women, introducing government monitoring of women’s financial transactions, and the phasing out of access to credit, loans, and property ownership for all unmarried women.

P25 p. 705: When authoritarian governments explain what they plan to do, believe them unless hard evidence demonstrates otherwise.

Unlike Meghan McCain, I did not vote for or praise the President who is slashing research into glioblastoma.

What are you going to do about it, Meghan?
