Rob Wittman is a feckless, weak, hypocrite. He and all his Republican peers in Congress are traitors to liberty, peace, and justice.

Their names and their families will be forever tainted by their extraordinary failure to uphold the Constitution.

Given that weโ€™re into Crossover now, would you prefer the bill not be passed now, or be passed and amended later?

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.

This is outstanding: Anthropic is operating by the values theyโ€™ve only yet claimed to have. This should be applauded, loudly, by anyone with an iota of sense.

Observers raise concerns over secret ballot breaches at Gorton and Denton byelection Democracy Volunteers says it saw 32 cases of apparent collusion โ€“ the highest levels in its 10-year history

For those of you not paying attention to this election in the UK, you will not be surprised to learn that conservatives are already claiming voter fraud. Whether in the US or UK, conservatives are a one trick pony. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Republicans are cutting off Medicaid to Minnesota because โ€œfraudโ€ - a perfect example of what we published this morning related to voter โ€œfraud.โ€ Itโ€™s a lie - and Wittman is an eager co-conspirator.

'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.

Negating Citizens United through state corporate law is potentially a HUGE deal, and one that Virginia should replicate ASAP.

@jeionward.bsky.social @ssurovell.bsky.social @downeyforva.com @jess4va.com please talk to @thmoore.bsky.social (who wrote about this months ago) to make it happen in VA.

Trumpโ€™s Favorite Voter-ID Bill Would Probably Backfire Congressional Republicans are trying to pass a strict โ€œelection integrityโ€ law that seems almost custom-designed to disenfranchise their own supporters.

Additional voter ID laws are not needed because *voter fraud isnโ€™t happening in the US!*

Debating who voter ID laws may or may not benefit is IRRELEVANT. We donโ€™t need new laws for problems that donโ€™t exist.

Period.

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.

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?

Rural health care requires local solutions In rural Virginia, access to health care is not guaranteed. It must be protected.

Wittman's op-ed in today's WashTimes is the same gaslighting we wrote about 5 months ago. Let's be clear:

๐ŸšจWITTMAN'S VOTES CUT HEALTHCARE IN RURAL VIRGINIA, and now he's desperate to cover it up.๐Ÿšจ

Worse: The Rural Health Transformation Fund he crows about was a DEMOCRATIC PARTY proposal.

After the SOTU speech, Rob says we deserve โ€œresults-driven leadership.โ€ We agree!

When should we expect his resignation letter?

And when will Congress hold Trump accountable for a shrinking economy, inflation, tariff chaos, foreign policy disasters, and unconstitutional abuses of power?

Wittman wants us to believe โ€œThe state of our union is strong.โ€ Inflation is up, GDP is down, and the Fed says the economy is โ€œunderperforming.โ€ POTUS is threatening Iran, our allies, and the courts while most of his Cabinet is corrupt. A better title would be, โ€œThe state of our union is a debacle.โ€
