They definitely won’t find worthless Rob Wittman! He only cares about his wealthy donors & could care less about his constituents being able to afford healthcare. #VA01 deserves better!

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 10h

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Now is when Dems need to rally like Republicans would. There has to be PAC money to fund attack ads against Miyares. We can’t lose the AG race in the midst of Trump’s authoritarian takeover.

Jones needs to go on attack against Miyares NOW! Ad running incessantly on TV about texts. Saw it 2x in 15min on NBC during evening news. There is so much content that can be used against Miyares & Jones need to use it! We can’t lose the AG race. It’s too important to success of Spanberger’s term.

What he said was bad but nothing compared to what Trump says everyday. No one should call for Jones to drop out until Trump does. But more importantly we need a Dem AG. It’s the only hope to fight Project 2025 that Trump is enacting. Jones will fight for Virginians. Miyares only fights for Trump.

Rob proposes the same inane policies every shutdown (Ex: members of Congress lose salary) knowing they have no chance of passage. "Well, I tried." If Republicans hold out, 24M Americans may see insurance premiums increase by up to 300%. Rob could take a more active role but don't hold your breath.

He is obviously crazy but what is wrong with the other people in that room? They and all the other enablers are the reason we are at this moment. We have to stop them.

Homan used to media hits daily. Haven’t seen him since he didn’t deny taking the money on Laura Ingraham’s show a couple weeks ago. If he didn’t do anything wrong why is he hiding?

We need to boycott everything Texas. Make the state feel financial pain for their governor sending the Texas National Guard to invade & terrorize another state.

Ummm...they don't want American citizen women to get reproductive care either.

It’s up to us to vote out Republicans like worthless Rob Wittman! Keep up the fight!

Agree! Great Dem candidates for upcoming Senate race-Talarico & Allred. They could be key votes to restore voting rights.

It's disappointing that there is so little coverage of the HD59 race. Incumbent Buddy Fowler doesn’t even live in the district! Vote out his corruption! We need Dem representation to work for us. Please support @electscottkhd59.bsky.social!

The Hanover Good Ol' Boys Network is gonna Hanover Good Ol' Boys Network.

Laws and rules and sharing power are not for them, just for the rest of us.

And that's what many other fine folks and I are trying to change around here. Slowly but surely, we are.

Seems like a quaint thing to worry about the law requiring a budget.

She acts with impunity because she knows Trump is going to give her a preemptive pardon. Only hope for accountability for Trump’s minions is state charges. But when the House flips they can make her life miserable with investigations. Looking forward to those hearings,

Love you, Tim, but this was the worst interview you’ve done. You let Tapper get away with saying he covers Trump’s decline daily. The issue is that there is so little intensity to his Trump coverage compared to his coverage of Biden’s decline. With Biden it was incessant. Trump’s threat is worse!

Don’t think they’re getting paid for this. Probably hate Trump for making them report for his sham.

Happy first day of recess to Rob Wittman!

How many town halls is good ole Rob hosting while he’s home in district?

Oh right. None. As always.

Come meet me at one of my dozen+ events across VA-01 where I’ll be actually meeting our neighbors, not hiding from them.

There never will be enough worship of Trump to satisfy them. It’s a bottomless pit.
