This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

Wittman Watch@wittmanwatch.bsky.social · 1h ago

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.

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

(3) COVERED PLATFORM.— The term "covered platform" - (A) means an entity - (i) that is an interactive computer service; (ii) that- (I) is engaged in interstate or foreign commerce; or (Il) purposefully avails itself of the United States market or a portion thereof; and (iïi) for which it is in the regular course of the trade or business of the entity to create, host, or make available content that meets the definition of harmful to minors under paragraph (4) and that is provided by the entity, a user, or other intration conten provider, with

While this is a HUGE WIN, there's more work to do. It's time to DOUBLE DOWN in pressuring Congress. They need to revoke the OMB Proposal. Members of Congress who fail to stop the Proposal will be out of a job January 3rd, 2027, we will make sure of it. 🧵

The graphic displays a photo of Russell Vought and a news clipping from Politico reading: "Senate finalizes funding patch that would block Trump's grant overhaul. Language is included to delay the president's move to put political appointees in charge of grant approval." The graphic reads: "WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DELAYED VOUGHT'S OMB GRANT PROPOSAL"

Another failure of oversight by worthless Rob Wittman, Armed Svcs Committee Vice Chair. He gaslights his constituents that he is fighting fraud, waste & abuse while doing nothing to stop this unnecessary & costly deployment. #VA01 deserves better! VOTE HIM OUT! @wittmanwatch.bsky.social

The Pentagon’s deployment of National Guard troops to D.C. is set to cost an additional $1.4 billion through the end of the Trump administration, according to information reviewed by The Post. The estimate encompasses October 2026 through January 2029.

1️⃣ Rob's got the endorsement he thinks might save him (it won't). 2️⃣ Literally everything Trump says here is wrong.... 3️⃣ ...including the idea that Wittman is on the ballot today. Trump has no clue what's going on. If you love Trump, vote Wittman. If you love America, vote anyone else. #NoWittman

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Voting for @erickakopp.com today. It sure sucks that the person who will give you an alphabetical list of literally everything she’s about can get swamped by a party-endorsed candidate with 800k from Dominion. Guess I shouldn’t get my hopes up on data center regulations. 🙄🙄🙄

Yes to everything that supports veterans! One of my uncles was injured in the Vietnam War and his trauma drove home for me how important a fully funded and staffed Veterans Affairs is. I hope #VA-01 voters realize how much life for veterans will improve with Ericka Kopp in Congress!!

Ericka Kopp@erickakopp.com · 2d ago

My husband is a disabled combat veteran. I’m his caregiver. We’ve seen the gaps in the VA system firsthand. But we can change the system to make it work for veterans. Here’s a brief introduction into how we can support veterans receiving VA care. #supportveterans #veteranscommunity #centralvirginia

#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

Trump tariffs added over $800 million to Dominion Energy’s offshore wind project

The news comes as Dominion also announced a delay in completion for CVOW, though it's already generating power.

Fighting corruption requires getting at the root cause of it. Otherwise, you’ll only treat the symptoms and not the problem. You’re not willing to fight corruption if you’re not willing to tackle it at its source.
