With every statement she makes, she proves that she is a totally ineffective senator. I hope that Maine finally gets that and votes her out!

I'm sorry, I know you aren't supposed to comment on a woman's appearance but her face really creeps me out. Too much filler!!!!

"Heathcare is a priority and not negotiable. Republicans need to understand this."
"You're the one on vacation! Get back to work and do what's best for Virginians. NOT the Felon"
"Then get back to work you bum.Jeez"
Rob Wittman (#VA01) is not winning the message war.

Rob Wittman is posting videos on Instagram rather than doing his job in DC to negotiate with Dems to extend ACA tax credits to allow gov't to reopen. Comments to his post are all negative. He refuses to listen to his #VA01 constituents. We need a Dem rep who will prioritize healthcare! Vote Blue!

Rob Wittman is failing his district by pushing a CR that does not include extending ACA tax credits! Performative surveys do nothing to protect healthcare in #VA01!

Performative nonsense from worthless Rob Wittman (R #VA01) sending a "survey" with no context that Republicans have been in session only 15 days since July & thus have made 0 progress on normal appropriations. Vote "No" on the survey to tell Rob you aren't falling for his gaslighting/lies!

Glad she is on the right side of the issue but it’s blind politics driving her position. She read the room. More Republicans should look out for themselves as she is if they want to get reelected.

Notice that Worthless Rob Wittman’s communication about the shutdown is silent on the key reason-extending the ACA tax credits. Rob said outside a fundraiser the day it started that he was “proud” to vote not to extend them. Rob cares about his wealthy donors not for you.

You have had six months to pass a budget. You decry a “waste of taxpayer dollars” and disruption of essential services while you supported billionaire tax cuts, the DOGE disaster, and the gutting of support for the poor. You’re either unaware of the damage or unconcerned. We hope we're wrong.

He is crazy but the real problem is the people that stand behind him & let him use them to promote the lunacy of the day.

Think how wonderful it would have been to have Walz promoting activities all over the country rather than living through Vance promoting ugliness & lies.

The lower & appeals courts have already ruled that his tariffs are illegal. The Red Six are the reason Trump is still causing economic harm to the country.

We need a Dem AG. It’s the only hope to fight Project 2025 that Trump/Vought are enacting. Jones will fight for Virginians. Miyares only fights for Trump.

Proves that Republican leadership lives in a bubble that they didn’t think they would get negative feedback.

I am concerned about the future of our country. Not a fan of Vivek but really sad that those young people questioned his right to be governor because of his religion. At what point in our history are we going to get past that? Seems like at least another generation which is a sad place to be.

@justinwolfers.bsky.social would like your take on stock market tanking after Trump’s China post

bulldogmom.bsky.social @bulldogmom.bsky.social · 1d

Stock market is now tanking.

bulldogmom.bsky.social @bulldogmom.bsky.social · 1d

He's wasting the news cycle on this when he should be focusing on the middle east peace deal. Seems like he's not so media savy as everyone says he is.

Not saying they will kick him out. Saying they are revolting against his plan to keep the House out of session. House Republicans want & need to vote to pay the military.

Wow, it's amazing how bad Johnson's communication strategy is. Every time he speaks the Republican grave digging gets deeper.

bulldogmom.bsky.social @bulldogmom.bsky.social · 1d

Looking forward to the House Republican revolt against Johnson that is imminent. Clear he is killing vulnerable Republicans' chance for reelection.

Real question: What are typical tests & procedures someone with severe ankle swelling & hand bruising would have?
