The “Prior Authorization Accountability Act” Wittman is touting requires… insurers to post denial rates on a website. No caps, no penalties, no faster care. It’s a transparency bill with zero teeth, and he’s acting like he cured healthcare. Maybe start with the healthcare promises YOU broke, Rob.

This is getting silly. Wittman says he's been a strong advocate for the Chesapeake Bay, "an environmental treasure and an economic engine for VA." 💩 It's less healthy than when he started. 🥸 He has obtained $0 in Bay health funding. 😡 He voted against the bills that DID help. 1/2

Michael Popok on Todd Blanche's tax relief scheme for the Trump family: "How can you settle a case and have a super pardon for Donald Trump when the underlying case was illegitimate?"

Wittman is vice chair of House Armed Services while CENTCOM emails staff begging for "creative ideas" because the Iran bombing campaign isn't working (CIA, DIA, Chair of the Joint Chiefs). Sounds less like a strategy and more like a group project nobody wants to own. Where's the oversight, Rob?

What does Rob Wittman (#VA01), Vice Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, think about his votes alienating America’s allies and making us geopolitically and economically weaker? We’ll never know because he’ll never say, like every Trump patsy in Congress. What do YOU think about it?

WTF? We can blow up schools in Iran but we can't fund students whose work will help our communities thrive? You know who wins in business? CEOs who invest in the foundations of their businesses. You know who goes bankrupt? Businesses whose CEOs are dumbasses. Guess which one America is now.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Oh fuck this ALL the way to hell! Every incumbent and House/Senate candidate Dem MUST commit to rescinding this “agreement” once in power. If this “agreement” holds, why should I or anyone else continue to faithfully pay their taxes? It’s another Trump-based existential threat to the republic.

Breaking News: Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, the two Republican senators who threatened to block Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general, now say they support it.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

#VA01 needs more clean, affordable energy. Rob Wittman supports Trump 100%. Trump *illegally* increased the cost of our new energy project, and we regular Virginians will probably pay for it. We can’t afford Rob Wittman. He increases costs, fails to produce new jobs, and defends Trump. #NoWittman
