The real reason Disney restored Kimmel's late-night show? We, the people, have extraordinary power. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-deeper-story-behind-americas

Rob Wittman consistently neglects his constituents. Lancaster County is a beautiful rural area on the Northern Neck in VA-01. According to Feeding America, 68% of the county lives below the threshold to receive SNAP. Rob turned his back on them when he took food off their tables. We won’t forget

Thanks @glodemsva.bsky.social for a great event! Two things stuck out from convos w/ ppl tonight 1. Wittman isn’t listening to his constituents 2. It’s not enough just to bash him — we must talk about real solutions for real people Couldn’t agree more. I’ll try to do a better job at the 2nd part

So much fun with @glodemsva.bsky.social at their annual seafood dinner on Thursday! Proud to support marine biologist and Essex County native @elainescampaign.bsky.social for House of Delegates from the Middle Peninsula this fall. Bringing science to the 68th District! Visit elainewalters.com

Thank you @glodemsva.bsky.social for hosting your amazing annual Seafood Dinner and gathering so many Gloucester Democrats! It was great to hear from @downeyforva.com and @elainescampaign.bsky.social - can’t wait to get them across the finish line this November.

I took a look at Rob Wittman's paper and gave it an F. Lying to Virginians isn't going to get you anywhere

EXPOSED: Winsome Earle-Sears' long record backing Donald Trump’s job cuts, healthcare cuts, and attacks on reproductive rights. The contrast between Sears and @SpanbergerForVA couldn’t be more clear. vadogwood.com/virginia-vot...

Monthly Meeting 📅 Monday, September 15 ⌚️6:00 PM 📍AVFR Squad 3, 2676 Hayes Rd Hayes, VA 23072

We had a 4x8 tri-candidate barn sign stolen. We have filed the appropriate police report but now are asking for your assistance in funding a replacement. Our aim is to bring people together, backing candidates such as Spanberger, Hashmi, and Jones, and ultimately showing Gloucester we are not alone.

No one is safe from gun violence in America. We do not have to keep living like this. Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

Thanks to your efforts, we successfully obtained 8 barn signs, which have been strategically positioned throughout Gloucester. We appreciate your ongoing support. 🩵💙 Photo: Member David assisting with sign installation at the Coleman Bridge.

Thanks to your donations and efforts we were able to add three 4x8 road signs! Voters need to know who our candidates are! Each sign costs $75. Your donation to GCDC will help offset this cost. We would love to secure at least 5 more signs to offset the numerous Republican ones around the county!

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

All Folks Had To Do Was Vote For The Super Qualified Black Lady… With A Degree In Economics

Jeffrey Epstein. Keep saying that name. Keep demanding the release of the files. Don’t let that story die.

Birthright citizenship isn’t just a legal doctrine — it’s central to who we are as a nation. We will do whatever it takes to keep President Trump's unconstitutional executive order blocked nationwide.

Charlie Chaplin in the 1940 movie The Great Dictator. Give this clip a watch.

This is not a drill-Trump is coming for our democracy. Make no mistake-this power grab is nothing to mess with.

Notice they don’t deny it. Corruption and grift at every turn. 🇺🇸

Rep Wittman was in Gloucester Friday, 7/25 to meet with Glo Co leadership (representatives from the Gloucester Sheriffs Office, the Gloucester Board of Supervisors, and Gloucester Emergency Management, as well as local first responders) This visit was reported via the Gazette Journal, pg A-2. 1/🧵

If you’re appalled by Pete Hegseth attending a church that advocates for women to lose the right to vote, you should read the rest of Project 2025.

Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be “repealed,” and women should “submit” to their husbands: “All of Christ for All of Life”

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq
