If I was in Congress, I’d have voted to release the Epstein files. My representative won’t vote for it. He’d rather protect pdfiles.

Dem candidate running to replace worthless Rob Wittman in #VA01.

We need corporate money out of politics. It’s disgusting how much control corporations have over policies. Policies that have direct impact on our lives. We could have it so much better here. That’s why my platform for Congress includes campaign finance reform.

During call time, I've spoken with a few people who work in health insurance companies (not executives). Every one of them is in favor of Medicare for All. Keep pushing, we have allies everywhere.

@salaambhattiva.bsky.social gets it because he’s lived it, and is living it. #VA01 #FlipVA01

Good news: my health insurance costs aren’t going up. Bad news: it’s cuz I don’t have health insurance. Better news: I’m running for Congress to fight for health care for all.

@salaambhattiva.bsky.social and @foggybottomline.bsky.social discuss what happens when policy punishes the vulnerable: www.youtube.com/shorts/dTa02...

I’d like the record to reflect that our campaign has not been endorsed by Tim Kaine.

We may be seeing some masterful chess from Justice Jackson.

While Trump goes out of his way to starve Americans, our campaign for Congress donated $113 each to the Henrico Community Food Bank, Chesterfield County Food Bank, and the Virginia Peninsula Food Bank. That’s over 1000 meals to help our neighbors.

A federal court had to order the American president to feed the American people. What did the president do? He rejected feeding his nation. The midterms will be revolutionary.

Rob forgot to mention this so I’ll remind him that he voted to cut millions of people from SNAP and push states to either restrict eligibility or pull out of the program entirely. Hope that helps!

Wittman is in deep trouble and doesn’t seem to have the wherewithal to dig himself out of it by next September, when early voting starts. #FlipVA01

There's not enough characters in this post to name everyone who won in this blue wave. ❤️‍🔥 Congratulations to Virginia, New Jersey, and NYC for showing the nation and the world that this is not Trump's America. Let's build on this wave for the 2026 midterms.

Speaking of freeze, the program which helps people pay for heating costs (LIHEAP) is not currently funded. Most states can’t front the money for this without depleting reserves. It’s getting cold and people will freeze.

Yes: a court ruled Trump must release the emergency funds for snap. Yes: Trump admin responded that it will. Note: it will likely take weeks for them to release the funds. This will only cover half a month’s worth of benefits. Act: keep helping your neighbors.

Him: If we had a guaranteed income, how would you prevent people from using it on things like the lottery? Me: Would you defund highways because people speed? Him: ...fair point. Me: There is no perfect policy, but that shouldn't stop us from moving forward.

Poverty guidelines haven't been modernized to include cell phone and internet costs. It's time to modernize the poverty guidelines.

Virginian democratic candidates for House of Delegates: SPAM THE HELL OUT OF HEALTH CARE COSTS RIGHT NOW THROUGH TUESDAY. Let your voters know the Republican opponent did NOTHING to speak out against it. This could be the biggest method to move the needle.

Jessica Anderson: people not participating in Medicaid will also see impacts to their health care premiums. Man next to me mutters, “she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.” He’s gonna wake up to a surprise on November 1.

A Virginian reports that her health insurance currently costs $80/month. The same plan with the Republican funding cuts will cost her $425.03/month next year. She is considering canceling her coverage.

Saturday Nov 1st is the last day for early voting! Vote Blue all down your ticket. Get it done & bring a friend to vote as well. @henricodems.bsky.social @abigailspanberger.com @senatorhashmi.bsky.social @jonesjay.bsky.social @maynivar.com

November 1, 2025 will be the worst day in modern American history. - Over 40 million Americans will wake up to no SNAP benefits - 10s of millions will log on to the health care marketplace to find their insurance costs tens of thousands of dollars more. Most are likely unaware this is coming.

SNAP does more for the economy than tax cuts to billionaires ever have.

I’m fighting for health care, not wealth care.

Two important notes here: 1. Vote for @jonesjay.bsky.social to get backbone back in Richmond. 2. Kudos to @salaambhattiva.bsky.social for his monitoring this so closely. His expertise in SNAP benefits and the detailed work of delivering for people is definitely needed right now!

Guess which attorney general isn’t joining? Jason Miyares. He’s choosing party over people AGAIN. Vote for Jay Jones @jonesjay.bsky.social

Virginia is creating an emergency SNAP. Participants will receive benefits on their SNAP card on a weekly basis (25% of monthly benefit each week). Should go live by November 10 at the latest.

Met a democrat today who is friends with Rob Wittman. When I asked him if he still likes him considering all that is going on, he said he still likes him. This guy owns a pretty big factory. Some people just want to make enough money so that they’re bracketed out of the problems. SMH.

I’m a SNAP expert. Lots of questions going around this week. Ask me anything.

Rob Wittman's Virginia: When over 10,000 Virginians lost THEIR jobs, he was silent. When Republican states redistricted, he was silent. When he might lose HIS job, oh, it's SHOWTIME!!!! 💯 HIS fault @wittmanwatch.bsky.social @50501virginia.bsky.social @indivisibleva.bsky.social

"why are there so many bot replies?" the elected official asked, as they greenlit 100 more data centers.

Agreed. I hope this finds some of the constituency in VA but candidates like @salaambhattiva.bsky.social are currently running and have done a fantastic job for the people of VA expanding SNAP and getting our kids fed in school.Support the people like Qasim and Salaam that have worked for the people

I remember this. While Qasim was getting attacked for this, I was fighting to repeal the drug felony ban in the state assembly. We got it done 😎

Congress needs to retake their tariff power. Sheesh.

Here’s the donor, add this to the list of reasons to tax the billionaires.

THIS PART

Ask him why he’s okay with a private donor giving $130 million to pay the troops. Who is the donor? What was the promised thing to them? Was it use of the military?

Virginian Republicans: we can’t tax the rich to help the poor. It breaks TRADITION. Sir, you live in a COMMON WEALTH.

I’m not @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social but it’s very kind of the commenter to think so. He’s a handsome fella. (My son has confused the two of us.)

Things Trump didn’t bring down: - grocery prices - housing costs - health insurance costs Things Trump did bring down: - The White House East Wing.

Trump isn’t just running cattle ranchers out of business, but destroying the agency that helps them.

My campaign is donating half of the funds we raise to area food banks to brace for impact. Link below.

I’m splitting donations 50/50 between my campaign and local food banks because you can’t lead America if you can’t feed America. Every $1 helps provide 3 meals. Help feed families and fuel a movement that fights for them. Give today: secure.actblue.com/donate/feeda...

Our neighbors in the military are working without pay and lining up at food banks. Federal workers are showing up to work without pay and collecting food packages after their shifts. Now, over 40 million Americans could lose SNAP benefits starting Nov 1. We can do better.

Here's a breakdown of SNAP participants to help you understand why all 40M can't attend protests. 15M are under 17 8M are over 60 The remainder are taking care of one or both groups while living precarious lives, working multiple jobs, impacted by disabilities, homeless, etc. Let's extend grace.
