He refuses to put up the plaque honoring the Capital police that protected him & his colleagues on Jan. 6th that was mandated by law. I hate that this man thinks he can lie gratuitously and get away with it.

Voters in Hanover County, Louisa County, & Henrico County, you have a Democratic candidate who will represent YOU in the House of Delegates (HD59) instead of the incumbent Republican who represents Trump.

Vote for Democrat Scott “K” Konopasek on November 4

Please support @electscottkhd59.bsky.social! HD59 deserves better than incumbent Buddy Fowler who doesn't even live in the district! Buddy has done nothing to improve the lives of his constituents. Scott will work for you!

Rob Wittman holds tele-town halls to manage what questions he responds to & to limit follow-up to his answers. Don't let Rob get away with evading questions! The next caller should use the opportunity to call out his gaslighting/lies rather than moving on to a new topic. BE STRATEGIC!

804ThePeople @804thepeople.bsky.social · 3d

To attend the tele-town hall, you have to sign up on Wittman’s website. Here’s the 🔗 wittman.house.gov/forms/form/?...

Upside: @grahamformaine.bsky.social will become stronger going through the Dem primary & winning against this Dem mainstay candidate.

Opinion: Wittman and McGuire got almost the same vote last year, but Democrats are only targeting Wittman in 2026. Here’s why.

Trump, Wittman, McGuire, and the Republicans fire more than 4,000 more federal workers.

The Republicans are jobs killers!!! They loooove to fire federal workets and kill jobs and our economy so they rich can get our tax money.

#VoteDemocratic to save our economy and our jobs!

Trump administration says about 4,200 federal employees face layoffs

The Trump administration says it has started the process of issuing "substantial" reduction-in-force notices to federal employees. Court filings suggest around 4,200 affected so far.

Take a seat, Mr. Concepts of a Plan. Here’s how I’d create universal healthcare:

-Eliminate the income limits for Medicaid.
-Reimburse providers at 100% of the cost of services, split between federal and state governments.
-Repeal the PRWORA so that healthcare would actually apply to all people.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

Congratulations & well deserved! Appreciate that you provide real facts about science & healthcare. We needed your trusted voice since we can’t trust the government anymore.

And stop ICE from kidnapping & holding hostage people (including children & American citizens) in the US.

bulldogmom.bsky.social @bulldogmom.bsky.social · 2d

Happy the 20 hostages have been released but horrified that this is getting more coverage than the Trump Administration kidnapping & holding hostage thousands of people including children & American citizens in the US. The media is not covering what is happening in this country with same intensity.

The juxtaposition of the rousing protests he is going to receive during the No Kings protest next Saturday is the real story. While getting welcomed in Israel for helping to release 20 hostages, he is locking up thousands in the US. Media is minimizing the real stories.
