Dear Rob: Put down the phone that no one’s calling and listen to your constituents. You had one job, and you failed. With no love, Ericka #accountability applies to everyone #virginia #centralvirginia #hanoverva #mechanicsvilleva

The cuts to SNAP are now kicking in. Since the OBBB passed, 4.7 million Americans have lost food assistance - that’s 11% of people on the program. Wittman / the OBBB didn’t address fraud or waste. He’s simply making people hungry and is okay with that. Remember in November.

If you could ask Rob Wittman (R, VA-01) a question right now, what would it be? I would ask if he’s afraid of his constituents. He should be: we’re voting him out of a job. • Hey hey, ho ho, Waldo Wittman’s got to go! #centralvirginia #williamsburgva #robwittman #whereswittman #whereswaldo

My heart is with Venezuela and I am holding all the rescuers in the light. Thank you to The Venezuela Association of Massachusetts: www.vamass.org and World Central Kitchen: wck.org for being helpers in the face of this disaster.

PRIORITIES. 🙄

Short-term and long-term solutions for #epsteinfiles #accountability • Short-term: if we have evidence to suggest that a crime was committed in a certain state, states can charge crimes committed in their states. Long-term: impeach, convict, remove, prosecute.

48 pages but worth the read.

Though the SCOTUS bench is made up of justices, we do not have justice. That’s it, that’s the post.

The primaries are here! #gotv I’m running to unseat Rob Wittman (R, VA-01). I’m a healthcare attorney, a caregiver to a disabled combat veteran, and an unapologetically progressive grassroots Dem.

If you don't yet know who to vote for in the #VA01 Democratic primary, it's time to figure it out! Voting has started, and ends 8/4/26. Here's our primer on our seven excellent candidates: their backgrounds, policy positions, and differences. Who are YOU voting for, and why?

101 former judges have asked New York disciplinary authorities to investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging ethics violations tied to his conduct at DOJ. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Reposting this as a reminder of what a cowardly loser Rob Wittman is. 7 great Dem candidates are running to replace him in #VA01. Go vote in the primary today!

Trump in his personal capacity sued the IRS, an agency he controls, for $10B. In the suit, he demanded immunity for prior taxes filed for himself, his family, and his businesses. He dropped the suit, and the Court agreed, but with the express caveat that there was no settlement agreement. 1/4

Fewer than half of Americans can afford healthcare, the lowest rate since 2021. We’re saddled with the highest healthcare costs with the worst health outcomes among other rich countries. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All? We do not have to keep living like this.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Recently, I posted about a letter that a family member of mine, a naturalized American citizen who lives in the district I’m running to represent (VA-01), received from the Heritage Foundation. Remember, the Heritage Foundation is the same group that published Project 2025 and Project Esther. 1/4

🚨 BREAKING: Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, citing what it calls U.S. failure to uphold the “end-of-war agreement,” Israel’s continued strikes in southern Lebanon, and Israel’s refusal to withdraw from the area. 1/

🚨 Attention Central VA🚨 The Heritage Foundation is sending racism and xenophobia to people’s homes and asking for their signature. This letter arrived at the home of a family member of mine who lives in VA-01. This family member is a U.S. citizen albeit born in another country.

it's notable to me that the administration tried to frame tonight's UFC event as a "gift to Americans" but you can't watch it unless you have a paid subscription to Paramount+

The 'Ericka Kopp for Congress' voting group is now open. This is a group of voters who share values, ballot recommendations, and victories. Together, we can #flipthefirst Join here: www.sway.co/g/j7u2hnry?r...

I’ve never met Rob Wittman and at this point probably never will. His blatant lying with the fake phone call points to him deceiving #VA-01 in other ways and that’s unconscionable. He has no shame, which is why we’re going to #FlipTheFirst!

Would you vote for a congressperson you’ve never met who unabashedly lies to the people? I wouldn’t, and Tiki Bob won’t either. Wittman’s not on the phone. He’s not holding in-person town halls. He’s not voting in our best interests.

What the Ellison family would own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

🚨 BREAKING ACTION: Congress just formally leveled six Articles of Impeachment against Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. From rewriting the Constitution to shield the executive branch to massive conflicts of interest, the high court has gone rogue. Tell your reps to back impeachment NOW: 👇

A data center developer tried to build a data center within 5 miles of my house. That 5 miles crosses county lines. That matters for representation, but not for the effects of the data center itself.

OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE....... 👇👇👇

Another fake Wittman phone call - from a WEEK ago! 🤯 Julian Andreone, a @dropsitenews.com reporter, posted this 3 days ago after Wittman was caught faking another call rather than answer questions about Social Security cuts. #VA01 needs better in Congress than Fake Rep Rob Wittman. #NoWittman

If you missed the @wjccindivisible.bsky.social town hall, here’s the link to watch the recording.

It’s officially June 12, and the new site is live! Check out www.robsrecord.com to learn more about what Rob Wittman is doing, besides faking phone calls. Well done, @dgcassidy.bsky.social and Shana!

A nearly 100 year old law capped the US House to 435. Back then, it was 1 representative per 30,000 people. The population today is nearly 3x more than in 1929 when that old law passed. Now, this district is 1 representative for over 814,000 (it’s nearly 824,000).

This guy was arrested Tuesday night and is in prison for making terroristic threats. His name is Jake Lang. He's a pardoned January 6 insurrectionist. His bail is set at $1M newrepublic.com/post/211646/...

Representation matters. Who better to fight for marginalized communities than someone who is a member of marginalized communities? I’m Ericka Kopp, an openly bi woman running for Congress in Virginia’s first district. #pridemonth #lgbtqiaplus #bipride #centralvirginia #williamsburgva

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Hats off to the Garden. Well done, NYC!

Accountability should apply to everyone, including SCOTUS. #courtreform #SCOTUS #checksandbalances

When deciding who you want to support in the primaries, I encourage you to check out a candidate’s website. Find out what policies they’re backing publicly in writing. You’ll find mine, that are updated regularly, on my website. Accountability applies to us all, and transparency is step 1.

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

Pam Bondi immediately blaming Todd Blanche for the Epstein files is so telling. She knows. She knows something that could destroy the entire system. And that's what we need.

Accountability isn’t about left or right; it’s about right and wrong. Rob Wittman will never hold anyone accountable. So I’m running to unseat him. My name’s Ericka Kopp. I’m a healthcare attorney, a caregiver to a disabled combat veteran, and an unapologetically progressive Dem.

Every Democratic candidate needs to internalize this and take action on it. In VA01, that means @salaambhattiva.bsky.social @votetimva.com @knappforcongress.bsky.social @erickakopp.com @elizabeth4virginia.bsky.social @shannontaylorva.com and Mel Tull. There is no going back, only forwards.
