Incredibly strange to be allied with a nation that is blocking Doctors Without Borders. If ever there was a litmus test to determine if a nation is on the wrong side of history, banning DWB is high on the list.

The Republican representative I’m challenging commended Trump’s unjust attack on Venezuela. If Wittman truly cared about narcoterrorism, he’d have spoken out against Trump pardoning former Honduran President, one of the biggest narcoterrorists. Our responses are side by side for comparison.

The President‘s attack on Venezuela sets a terrible precedent and is unjustified.

Not wrong.

Fundraising to become a lawmaker is the DUMBEST part about our system. Obviously, lawmakers will make laws to benefit their wealthy donors to guarantee donations to maintain their seat. It's bribery, plain and simple. And it needs to end.

These policies would make us even richer.

Today, ~22 million neighbors will no longer receive health care subsidies. Their costs will double or triple. The result? Millions of people without health care. If that includes you, have you found something else in your state that is helpful? Share in the comments and let's help each other.

"Affordable Health Care" means that health insurance companies continue to profit, costs continue to increase, and we still have deductibles on top of co-pays on top of premiums. 2026 - we flip the house with Medicare For All candidates. 2028 - we get a Democrat as President who ran on M4A.

I’m looking forward to meeting YOU in 2026. Let’s set up a meet and greet with your social circle, in person or virtual. Sign up to host via our website. Salaamforva.com/act

We need affordable housing more than we need data centers. So why are states fast tracking what helps make the rich richer when they should be placing the people’s interests first?

The man positioned to chair the House Armed Services Committee is someone who hasn’t said a word about extrajudicial killings of Venezuelans. Trump wants Wittman in that seat. Wittman isn’t checking the Executive’s power, he’s emboldening him. And we’re all next unless we vote him out.

After we launched our campaign, Politico said I had an uphill battle because I have no name recognition/political connections. Well, we’ve raised over $120,000 from 600+ people. Turns out, fighting for the people is popular. ✊🏽 And we’re just getting started.

Americans are experiencing a wake-up call. They are realizing that health insurance companies don't actually offer any value; they take our money and say no a lot. Only my children are allowed to do that to me.

I’m not here to make dollars. I’m here to make change.

Call time story. Me: so that’s my platform. Any questions? Her: yes, just one. What’s your stance on Israel and Palestine? Me: I’m the only candidate in our race endorsed by @trackaipac.com for calling to end the genocide and refusing any AIPAC money. Her: good, send me your info.

Them: Salaam, are you ready to go toe to toe with people who don’t believe in facts? Me: everyday, I debate my 3 year old that his right hand is not his left hand. Yes I’m ready.

🚨- Democratic Candidate Alert! 💙 We help our candidates by following them & reposting their content! 💙🗳💙 Please give @salaambhattiva.bsky.social, who is running for Congress in VA CD-1 a Follow & Repost! Ty! 💙 Check him out on his website: salaamforva.com

My name is Leran and I wholeheartedly endorse @salaambhattiva.bsky.social. (FWIW)

I’m a public interest lawyer who has fought and won for tens of thousands of Virginians. We expanded SNAP and free school meals, increased cash assistance for VA’s poorest families, repealed unjust and racist laws, and helped create SNAPscreener.com - a tool used by over 2.5M families.

Medicare for All.

Trump wants to restrict immigration for people whose family members have received government assistance. We fought back the last time he tried to redefine public charge by submitting over 200,000 comments. Today is the last day to submit a public comment.

Five campaigns. All people funded. All challenging the same political mistake we keep repeating. I lay out the principles I use to decide who earns my support and why these races matter right now. One shared thread ties them all together. See if you catch it.

Also, @salaambhattiva.bsky.social is a great guy with a fantastic sense of humor.

Trump is up to no good again when it comes to immigrants and the public charge issue. Here’s what you need to know and what to do (with a draft comment). Hurry, public comment period ends on Friday! open.substack.com/pub/salaambh...

Trump’s approval rating is dropping. Expect increased bot presence online.

From Bondi to Brown, I'm praying for the full recovery of the injured and for the families of the murdered. These tragedies are heartbreaking.

🧵from @salaambhattiva.bsky.social, Dem candidate running to replace worthless Rob Wittman in #VA01, calling out Rob's blatant lies about healthcare. #VA01 deserves someone who really will protect healthcare access & affordability. Rob Wittman never will!

Another email from Rep Rob Wittman gaslighting his constituents. Let's break some of this down: 1. He claims to invest $50B in rural healthcare access. Rob voted to cut over $150B from rural healthcare access in the BBB. This cut puts rural hospitals and care centers at risk of closing.

This is our chance to replace a pillar of the war machine with a champion for peace, justice, and democratic integrity. Join us in supporting Salaam Bhatti for Congress! secure.actblue.com/donate/salaa...

He is committed to overturning Citizens United to end the dominance of corporate and dark money spending in our elections, and to get corrupting, foreign interests out of American politics for good.

Crucially, Salaam understands that real change requires dismantling the system of legalized bribery that empowers lobbies like AIPAC.

While Wittman spent 18 years voting to fund and enable apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, Salaam is demanding an end to U.S. complicity in Israel’s assault on the Palestinian people. He’ll fight for a foreign policy grounded in justice, diplomacy, and the protection of civilian life.

His work has always been rooted in human dignity. That’s exactly why Salaam refuses support from AIPAC and the Israel lobby. He knows what happens when money overrides human dignity.

For years, Salaam has fought for real results for working families: expanding SNAP for 25,000+ Virginians, increasing cash assistance for Virginia's poorest families, securing free school meals for tens of thousands of children, and building tools that helped millions access basic necessities.

🎉 ENDORSEMENT ALERT! 🎉 We are proud to endorse @salaambhattiva.bsky.social for Congress in #VA01! Salaam Bhatti isn’t just challenging AIPAC’s Israel-First Rep. Rob Wittman, he’s offering a different kind of leadership.

The time to impeach is now.

SNAP restrictions don't address the roots of the issue: healthier food is either fiscally or physically inaccessible.

This post by @salaambhattiva.bsky.social is your must-read article of the week. It’s a heartfelt piece from which you’ll learn about some of the important actions he’d take for #VA-01 constituents if elected to Congress. salaambhatti.substack.com/p/lessons-fr...

Extraordinary story with real world repercussions from my friend @salaambhattiva.bsky.social, who is running for Congress here in Virginia. open.substack.com/pub/salaambh...

Having worked with Salaam several years ago, I can vouch for his dedication, energy, creativity, and moral compass. He won’t sell anyone out. 👍✌️

Plus, he's a genuinely nice guy, a dad, and has an awesome sense of humor.

If Aftyn loses within single digits, the House will not just flip a few seats in 2026, it’ll be a revolutionary reckoning. Voters won’t be voting for a return to the status quo, they will want a revolutionary change. That is what our campaign will fight for.

My name is Salaam. I’m a public interest lawyer running for Congress in VA-1. Here’s my platform: - tax billionaires - health care for all/strong safety net - campaign finance reform - ban stock trading for congressmembers - end the genocide in Gaza Follow along & join the fight.

Wittman claims to work for regular people in #VA01. NONSENSE. 83% of his campaign funding comes from large donors, while just 2% comes from small, individual donations. He is getting paid to do a job: make your life harder so rich people can be richer. H/T @salaambhattiva.bsky.social for the vid!

Trump is killing alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers while pardoning a convicted former Honduran president who was involved with drug trafficking.

Imagine paying for Netflix every month, and then paying when you watch the movie, and then getting another bill three months later because one of the actors isn’t signed with Netflix so you have to pay him directly. That’d be STUPID right??? This is a post about health insurance.

Meet our Courage Candidates. Much more to come. 😎

Last night, I dreamt I was loudly booing Rob Wittman at an event. I've never been prouder of my subconscious.

Hey neighbor me, you may have gotten this email from Rob. I’m surprised he put in an Other option. Let’s get that Medicare for All 💪🏽
