We warned that Wittman's HR1 vote and refusal to support the ACA would impact Virginians, and now we know 44,000 have lost healthcare - and it might rise to 100,000! Now Virginia's state gov has to step in before more of us suffer because of Wittman's inability to represent us. #FlipVA01.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Basically, Trump is going to claim Chinese influence in the '20 election (whaa???) is an "emergency" that gives him the power to take over federal elections.

Really.

Pro-Trump attorneys push executive order that would give Trump sweeping power over elections: Sources A group of pro-Trump lawyers is circulating a draft of an emergency executive order that would give President Trump sweeping power over voting, sources tell ABC News.

🚨We need to be ALL over this🚨

Trump knows the SAVE Act is dead and redistricting backfired, so this is his last gasp to rig the midterms.

The real threats to election integrity Wittman conspires to suppress the vote and retain power

"Every accusation is a confession." Voter fraud is a lie. But Republicans' plans to suppress your vote, our liberty, and the American republic are very real.

We show the fraud behind the SAVE Act, SAVE America Act, and MEGA Act, and how Wittman's support for them is a grave threat to our country.

'Very inspiring tonight' - Rep. Rob Wittman on honoring veterans at the State of the Union Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) reacts to President Trump's 2026 State of the Union address.

After the State of the Union, (a rapidly blinking) Rob Wittman said, "the state of the union is strong," and that we're "in a good place."

Delusional.

As the β€œHarlem of the South,” Richmond’s Jackson Ward neighborhood served as a center for Black business, advocacy, arts and culture, until parts of it were destroyed by β€œredevelopment” in the mid-20th century.

Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978, Jackson Ward thrives today. #BHM2026

U.S. House rejects aviation safety bill after Pentagon abruptly withdraws support The House of Representatives narrowly rejected a bipartisan aviation safety bill that was spurred by the deadly midair collision near Washington, D.C., after the Pentagon abruptly withdrew support.

Wittman today voted to kill the ROTOR Act, which would ensure that deadly mid-air collisions like the one in Washington in 2025 would never happen again. The bill was written by Ted Cruz, and had bipartisan support - until the Pentagon expressed "concerns."

Why did Wittman vote no?
