ICYMI: Held a productive roundtable with @ONDCP and @DrugCzar47 this week. Great to hear Director Carter’s future plans and discuss ideas with local officials.  The treatment and prevention of drug use and abuse is a major priority, and conversations like these are crucial for the safety and future of our state.  wvmetronews.com/2026/05/01/nat…

Back in February, I had the pleasure of showing Secretary Duffy around @CityofWheeling during his Great American Road Trip. We visited local landmarks, ongoing projects, and grabbed a slice for the road @dicarlospizza. Happy to give @SecDuffy a glimpse of almost heaven!

Through my role as Chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor-HHS, I have worked to provide resources to @WestVirginiaU for critical research and ensured @NIH has the support it needs to continue innovating.  We have a long way to go when it comes to finding a cure, but days like yesterday are proof that we are making progress.   Learn more about my visit with Dr. Hodes here: capito.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

Had the opportunity to visit @WVURNI today with @NIHAging Director Dr. Hodes. It was great to see the groundbreaking work being done and discuss more ways we can support research, improve early detection, and foster lasting partnerships.

Great to have @ONDCP Director @DrugCzar47 here with me in Charleston this morning where we held a productive discussion on drug enforcement and prevention. We heard from law enforcement and recovery partners on the many effective solutions that support prevention, treatment, and recovery across our communities.

Exciting week here in the Senate—and a huge congrats to all the graduates out there!🫖👑🎓

To the patriotic @DHSgov workforce and your families who continued to safeguard our nation without a guaranteed paycheck: thank you. Your commitment, professionalism, and steady service—especially over the past 76 days—did not go unnoticed. We are grateful for all you do to protect the homeland, every single day.

West Virginia is proud of our warfighters! Thanks to @ChiefNGB for his visit to West Virginia and for showcasing the Special Forces expertise within the @WVNationalGuard

I remain in full support of @POTUS’ efforts to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. It’s time for a defeated Iran to come the table and negotiate a deal that makes the world safer and keeps the Strait of Hormuz open.

Coal is an essential natural resource that ensures economic stability for West Virginia and the rest of the country. The Biden administration attempted to strip that reliability away from the American people.   @POTUS has been a major advocate for the coal industry and our miners since the beginning—cutting red tape, increasing jobs, and investing in critical projects.

At 2:30pm, Chairman @SenCapito will hold a hearing examining the @EPA’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2027 with Administrator @EPALeeZeldin. Tune in: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Honored to receive the @AANmember Janice F. Wiesman Congressional Leadership in Neurology Award today. I will continue to fight for technological advancements and provider education to move us closer to finding a cure for all neurological diseases, especially Alzheimer’s and other dementia.

Honored to welcome King Charles and Queen Camilla to the Capitol today in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary🇺🇸🇬🇧

Great to attend the @NTCAconnect Conference today! Appreciated the opportunity to discuss BEAD funding, permitting reform, and my Rural Broadband Protection Act, which passed the House last week. In West Virginia, rural broadband connectivity remains critical and I will continue to ensure our communities receive the support and resources needed to improve it.

Now more than ever, we must fund @SecretService along with the entirety of @DHSgov. It’s time to stop the political games.

Happy Birthday to my good friend, @JimJustice_WV! Such an honor to serve alongside you.
