Ericka Kopp for VA-01

This man rarely ever shows up, but when he does, that’s his move?

He’s talking to a room full of federal workers—who aren’t getting paid—and his response is to criticize the law that granted access to healthcare to over 38 million Americans.

How utterly tone deaf.

'I’m struggling' – Federal airport workers direct concerns to Henrico Congressman Rob Wittman at sparsely attended RIC meeting Coming up short for rent and gas money, skipping meals, seeking out food from food banks and working second jobs are some of the ways that federal workers at the Richmond International Airport are dea...

“‘They're trying to get the appropriations bills done so you can actually get the next step in funding the government,’ Wittman said.

He said another key issue was being able to vote on the Affordable Care Act tax credit extensions, which he thought should have some reforms.”

Love what y’all are doing exposing his foolish ways. Keep up the good work! 💙

Subtlety is a virtue that is called for in certain circumstances. Calling out Rob for being his usual self isn’t one of them.

Thanks!

I’d like everyone to witness how direct and focused @erickakopp.com and other #VA01 candidates are compared to Wittman or capitulating moderates like @kaine.senate.gov. If they keep it up - and I have no doubt they will! - they‘ll #FlipVA01.

A man who’s going to lose his job next year at that!

Dear Rob,

Not only is Congress responsible for “meet[ing] its commitments,” but its members are also responsible for, you know, representing the people.

You don’t show up for your constituents, you lie, and you use a whole lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

This is performative nonsense.

Yes. You should’ve received an email. Try checking your spam folder? If you still don’t see it, please let me know.

Today, we honor those who have served for their bravery and selflessness.

Thank you to our veterans.

Today, I honor my hubby, a disabled combat veteran, for giving everything in service to this country.

Thank you! Will I be seeing you there in person? If so please come say hi! 💙

Thank you for pushing this out! 💙💙💙

I wish Tim Kaine had had this much of a backbone tonight.

The purpose of extending ACA tax credits is so that the cost of people’s health insurance doesn’t go through the roof.

The offer would’ve ended the shutdown. The GOP said no.

With people already living paycheck to paycheck, the higher cost of insurance will put healthcare out of reach for some.

From CBS News: Schumer offers to end shutdown in exchange for 1-year extension of health care tax credits Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks on the Senate floor on Friday, Nov. 7, 2025. SENATE TV Schumer said Democrats will reopen the government if Republicans agree to attaching a one-year extension of health insurance tax credits, the issue that has been at the center of their demands since the shutdown began. "After so many failed votes, it's clear we need to try something different. What the Senate is doing isn't working for either party, and isn't working for the American people," he said. "Let's find a path to honor both positions." Article continues: Schumer said Democrats want to see an end to the shutdown and want to respect Thune's stance that Republicans won't negotiate on the tax credits until the government is open. He proposed passing a one-year extension as part of a bill to fund the government, before opening broader health care negotiations. "We would like to offer a simple proposal that would reopen the government and extend the ACA premium tax credits simultaneously. And then have the opportunity to start negotiating longer-term solutions to health care costs. Let's do all three," Schumer said, calling it a "very simple compromise." "Democrats are ready to clear the way to quickly pass a government funding bill that includes health care affordability. Leader Thune just needs to add a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits to the CR so we can immediately address rising health care costs," he said. "With this approach, we do not negotiate health care in the shutdown as Leader Thune maintains he wishes," he said. Schumer argued that "all Republicans have to do is say yes to extend current law for one year," saying "it makes sense." "Now, the ball is in the Republicans' court," he said. Senate Democrats joined Schumer on the Senate floor in a show of unity.

Thune rejects Democratic offer as a "nonstarter" that "doesn't even get close" Thune told CBS News that the Democratic proposal is a "nonstarter" as GOP lawmakers entered a conference meeting near the Senate chamber. "I think everybody who follows this knows that's a nonstarter. There is no way. The Obamacare extension is the negotiation. That's what we're going to negotiate once the government opens up," he said. "But, you know, a one-year extension along the lines of what they're suggesting, I think everybody knows they're — and without Hyde protections — it doesn't even get close." Thune was referring to the Hyde amendment, which restricts federal funding for abortions. Thune added: "We need to vote to open the government. And there is a proposal out there to do that, and then we can have this whole conversation about health care." Article continues: "I think it's an indication that they're feeling the heat, and they know that their last proposal was unserious and unrealistic," he said. "So I guess you could characterize that as progress, but I just don't think that it gets anywhere close to what we need to do here. And they know it. And I think anybody who's been following this debate knows it too."

From CBS News: Graham blasts Democratic proposal as "terrible" and "political terrorism" GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina offered his opinion of the Democratic proposal to reporters at the Capitol. "Terrible. Horrible. I'm not going to keep giving taxpayer dollars to the five largest health care insurance companies under Obamacare to get the government open," Graham said. "This idea of flooding insurance companies for another year to open up the government is ridiculous," he added. "It's political terrorism, and it needs to stop."

On healthcare, here are facts about the shutdown:

Chuck Schumer (D-NY) brought forth a compromise on the Senate floor: extend ACA tax credits for one year to reopen the government.

John Thune (R-SD) said this was a “nonstarter,” and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called the proposal “political terrorism.”

This photo is a perfect metaphor for Trump, Wittman, and the entire Republican Party .

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Hype doesn’t even begin to cover how I feel about the momentous victory for Zohran Mamdani, the entire Virginia democratic ticket with 64 House of Delegates seats won, Mikie Sherrill, and the passage of Prop 50.

Turn the volume up! The blue wave is here!

Virginia understood the assignment!

Pics are from the victory party!

Sweep!
