Meanwhile, 500 students from across the state gathered in Charleston for Boys and Girls State, diving into the future of West Virginia and showing the next generation stepping up. In a touching tribute, the Richwood community grieves the loss of Greg James, a beloved 50-year band director whose legacy echoes through Nicholas County. On the national stage, Senator Capito pushes for a permanent intelligence chief amid a heated debate over surveillance laws — Democrats won’t budge unless the acting director is replaced. It’s a state and nation grappling with elections, youth, grief, and policy — all unfolding right now. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
