Wittman: "an honor" to host Sec. Duffy for "safe, reliable" roads. In 2021 he opposed the infrastructure bill ("Green New Deal in disguise"), then touted its $70M for the Port of Virginia before deleting the tweet. Voting no, taking the dough, posing for photos. Safety takes votes, not photo ops.

NEW AD: Prosecutor @shannontaylorva.com Launches “Getting Rich,” Exposing How Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA01) Got Rich While Virginians Paid the Price ("Wittman traded stock in companies he was supposed to regulate...voted for tax breaks that benefit his own portfolio") bluevirginia.us/2026/09/new-...

"#VA01's choice: a 15-year prosecutor with a record of accountability and results, or a former shellfish sanitation expert who's delivered shockingly little in 19 years." - @wittmanwatch.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/08/tues...

Given that Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA01) is Vice Chair of the House Armed Services Committee and on the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee - also his district has a LOT of military, veterans, etc. - you'd think he'd be all over this disaster. But...nope! bluevirginia.us/2026/08/frid...

I can't breathe the air, I can't eat lettuce, I can't afford gas, and my kids have measles. But at least now our soldiers will have enough testosterone.

He said he’d protect our healthcare & that they were targeting fraud. That’s been proven to be untrue. 5 million families lost their healthcare. Prices doubled, and 2027 may be worse. Rob Wittman voted for billionaire tax cuts at YOUR expense. He’ll do it again. Remember in November. #NoWittman

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) pretended to take a phone call for roughly 90 seconds when asked about potential Social Security cuts — & the evidence was right there on his screen: his cheek kept inadvertently tapping the visible display, which never showed an active call. www.rawstory.com/social-secur...

Love that this video of coward Rob Wittman has gone viral. He’s such a loser.

At this point, I think he is just trolling us.

Whether it's Pete Hegseth using taxpayer money to fly on Army Apache helicopters with Kid Rock or Lloyd Austin being Black, both secretaries of defense have done things the other side finds unacceptable.

Nope, and we never will bluevirginia.us/2026/04/audi...

Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books. It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

Rob Wittman's Virginia: screwing vets to pay for his tax cut 💯 HIS fault Vote YES! @wittmanwatch.bsky.social

"The fact is, Republicans do not hate rigged maps. They just hate it when they have to take their own medicine. Don't start none, won't be none. If they finally decide they don't like it, they can take it up for a national ban." - Isle of Wight Dems bluevirginia.us/2026/04/vide...

Go vote NOW! Tell your friends and families to vote YES!!

Exactly - time to tell Peter Thiel where to shove it. bluevirginia.us/2026/04/pres...

Truly effed.

We just got an email from Wittman about "Health Care Freedom for Virginians". WTAF?! He MUST work to invoke the 25th Amendment and pass a War Powers resolution today. Anything less is dereliction of duty, and treason. We wish we were kidding. Call him and say what you think - NOW!

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

I mean, you don't really need a translator

My church along with a few other Protestant churches in the greater Montclair area are doing a Good Friday pilgrimage to Delaney Hall in Newark in support of immigrants. Stopped at the Basilica and Cardinal Tobin came out to greet us, a very public moment of interfaith solidarity from the Catholics!

This current estimate has it about 60-40 Dem in early voting so far in Virginia This is in line with traditional Dem advantage in early voting Seems like GOP had enthusiasm spike at beginning But early vote seems trending towards Dems longer it goes on projects.statenavigate.com/25-26/states...

So much this!

There are NO KINGS in America - despite what Rob Wittman is trying to do. NO KINGS 3 is today, in Richmond, Williamsburg, Midlothian, Newport News, and Saluda - pick whichever is closest to you and bring your posters and good cheer! www.nokings.org

Ironic that Witless had zero problem with how gerrymandered VA01 was from 2011-2021. Snaked from one end of the state to the other packing in the votes to keep his incumbent hiney in office.

Here's what Virginia's favorite Look-Busy, Do-Nothing, Enable-Trump MAGA Rep is doing while the Mideast is on fire Way to go, Rob! 🙄 @wittmanwatch.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social

#VA01 voters, listen to Barack Obama and vote YES on the redistricting referendum. Voting starts tomorrow. It's our opportunity to ensure that Rob Wittman no longer puts the interests of his wealthy donors over the interests of his constituents & district!

VOTE YES BY APRIL 21! EARLY VOTING STARTS FRIDAY!

Republican Health care "choice" $31,000 DEDUCTIBLE 😱🤬😡 Sound good? It does to Rob Wittman 🤑🤑🤑 @wittmanwatch.bsky.social @804thepeople.bsky.social @rva-indivisible.bsky.social @50501virginia.bsky.social @neighbors4change.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/h...

Endless shame on the United States Government for this heinous and cruel act.

Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on elections: In the past, we’ve mostly seen foreign interference — my bigger fear now is domestic interference, some of that potentially originating inside the administration.

Rob Wittman voted to give DHS $75 BILLION ICE is using HALF of it to set up a network of modern day concentration camps 💯 HIS fault @wittmanwatch.bsky.social @804thepeople.bsky.social @neighbors4change.bsky.social apnews.com/article/ice-...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
