Trump calls high gas prices "peanuts." Where's Wittman? @wittmanwatch.bsky.social www.12onyourside.com/2026/05/20/t...

Wittman is again taking credit for a federal grant that Virginia received through an existing, decades-old formula-driven program - one that he had NOTHING to do with whatsoever. Rob does this because he’s achieved almost nothing for us, bc he doesn’t work for us. We can’t afford him. #NoWittman

Gas prices are up 50% since the start of Donald Trump’s war with Iran. Americans are paying more at the pump and feeling the pain. You deserve better.

Dems delivering for VA workers again! Gov. Spanberger signs bill guaranteeing paid sick leave for all Virginia workers into law - www.wtvr.com/news/virgini...

Rinse and repeat 🙄 He has no plan or clue how to get out of this www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/u...

Humongous energy news here in Virginia.

Man, this is potentially big news.

BREAKING: Minnesota has INDICTED ICE officer Christian Castro in the non-fatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. 4 counts of assault & 1 count of lying. This is the SECOND ICE officer charged by the Hennepin County DA. No charges yet for the murders of Good and Pretti. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

"Passionate about public health." That's what Wittman's website says. His voting record says: 💧 Roll back clean water rules 🔪 Gut Medicaid 🫟 Increase lead exposure ☠️ Undermine the ACA His master's degree is real. His integrity isn't. Today's newsletter shows it all.

People should be able to live where they work. And people shouldn’t have to choose between housing and trying to provide for their kids. I will keep working to build housing because that’s how we ensure everyone can live the American dream.

MINUS FORTY-TWO on the cost of living THAT'S what people think of Trump and Worthless Rob Wittman But yeah, *definitely* send us some more emails and polls about how great things are going. @wittmanwatch.bsky.social

A nearly $2 BILLION slush fund to reward insurrectionists, election deniers, and pretty much anyone Trump likes

Dominion Power is being bought by NextEra Energy to create a utility mega company. Rob Wittman owns NextEra stock and supported the largest-ever rate increase in history that they imposed last year. Wittman makes bank but does nothing to stop soaring energy prices. #VA01 can’t afford Rob Wittman.

At Reproductive Freedom Event this afternoon on Capitol Square in Richmond.

We must continue expanding passenger rail, especially as skyrocketing fuel prices make life increasingly unaffordable. This week, I introduced the Amtrak Grant Flexibility Act with @deluzio.house.gov to open the door to billions of dollars in new funding for our Amtrak system.

Virginia just joined 18 other states and DC to make One Person/One Vote the way we elect the next president. The League of Women Voters believes the Electoral College should be abolished. As few as four more states are needed to level the playing field. Is your state in? @lwvus.bsky.social

Congrats to the graduating class at VSU!

The House was back in session for another busy week. Keep watching for what you may have missed this week.

Yesterday, VA Gov Spanberger signed my bill banning non-compete clauses in healthcare professions. After I passed a ban on them for low-wage workers, doctors, nurses & healthcare workers came out of the woodwork w/ horror stories. It’s a victory for them, patients, and our system that they’re gone.

The FCC serves the public interest, not a political agenda. But Trump’s FCC Chairman has sought to weaponize the agency to advance their “anti-woke” political agenda. I led 17 of my colleagues to call out this abuse of power.

The Voting Rights Act was a watershed moment for Black political participation. Now that SCOTUS has gutted Section 2, we see state legislatures in the South moving to erase that progress. I led the @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour about the impact of Louisiana v. Callais.

Democrats deliver AGAIN--banning war weapons from our streets! www.wtvr.com/news/virgini...

As gas prices skyrocket, House Republicans again refuse to bring our troops home from President Trump’s war of choice in Iran. With no end in sight, I voted to end this madness.

To meet exploding energy demand affordably, the U.S. must modernize its energy grid and permitting procedures. At an Energy Subcommittee hearing, I focused on the need to strike the right balance between federal and state action to meet our electricity transmission needs.

Praising Sheriff Leonard's HARP program for its compassion and innovation in one breath, while gutting the federal infrastructure that supports it in the other is Wittman at his finest - posing as a supporter while undermining their cause.

Louisiana v. FDA may further unravel the state of reproductive health care in our nation.  I joined @freeandjustus.bsky.social to discuss what’s at stake for reproductive freedom if SCOTUS allows states to restrict access to mifepristone by mail.

Damn straight we’ll flip VA01! #NoWittman @henricodems.bsky.social @wjccindivisible.bsky.social @mpindivisible.bsky.social @neighbors4change.bsky.social @ecrcvadems.bsky.social @chesterfielddemsva.bsky.social @glodemsva.bsky.social @newkentvadems.bsky.social @hanovervadems.bsky.social

Donald Trump let inside thoughts come out today, and we all know it's true. And we also know that Rob Wittman agrees with everything Donald Trump thinks because he's letting the insane, destructive, ruinous Trump Economy happen. #VA01 can't afford Rob Wittman. #NoWittman

Rob Wittman's Virginia: 62,100 good federal jobs GONE ☠️Poisoning Virginia's economy☠️ 💯 HIS FAULT. HE DOESN'T CARE. VOTE. HIM. OUT. @wittmanwatch.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social @vademocrats.bsky.social

"Outrageous and appalling comments. Yesterday, @JenKiggans endorsed comments that Hakeem Jeffries should get his 'cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.' This vile, bigoted language is beneath an elected official..." - Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA07) bluevirginia.us/2026/05/vide...

Like we were saying....

He stupidly chose this war He doesn't know how to end it He wants you to pay for it He doesn't care if it hurts abcnews.com/Politics/tru...

@bobbyscott.house.gov and I released this statement on Congresswoman Jen Kiggans.

It's always always great to talk to the @henricodems.bsky.social! Last night, I gave a legislative update. We are sending three important Constitutional amendments to voters in November and passed an aggressive affordability agenda! Protecting people’s rights and focusing on pocketbook issues!

Americans are already struggling to make ends meet, & now Trump's illegal war is driving up prices everywhere from the gas pump to the grocery store.   Ending this war will protect our troops, lower costs, & rein in this lawless president.

Inclusion is an amazing, a d necessary, thing. For everyone's benefit.

Virginia’s kids are better off because Kathy Glazer led the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation. A fierce advocate for affordable and quality childcare, yesterday, we honored her work as she retires. Glad to join so many education advocates to celebrate Kathy and to recommit to the cause!

Thank you to Virginia Union University for awarding me an honorary Doctor of Laws! I’ve represented VUU for over 20 years, first in the General Assembly and now in Congress. I’ve always felt like part of the family — this makes it a little more official. 🎓

Rob Wittman's Virginia: Highest inflation in years, and he's laser focused on.... Sharks 🤯 Henrico Dems are laser focused to give him a LOT more time for fishing in November! @wittmanwatch.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social @vademocrats.bsky.social

And more snaps from the meeting! When you don't come, you miss a lot!

Lots more shots from the monthly meeting!

Another fired-up monthly meeting featuring Prof. Henry Chambers spelling out the impact of the recent VRA decision, plus GA updates from our Henrico delegation! Don't miss the next one!
