Rally in Downtown Richmond to Stop The Merger between Dominion Energy and Florida's NextEra Energy — which would create the largest public utility in the world.

94 percent!! He Does Not Care About You.

Wittman Watch@wittmanwatch.bsky.social

Money talks. Look at Wittman's campaign finances: 94% is from corporations. Look at the data center, tech, oil, and defense stocks he owns: do you REALLY think Wittman doesn't know how his votes in Congress will impact his wealth? The facts show he isn't working for you. #VoteTaylorVA01

This is horrific. Good on @raskin.house.gov and others for this report. I want to see Dems go all gas on Trump and Epstein starting Jan 3rd, 2027.

Adam Keiper@adamkeiper.com

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

My friends at Wittman Watch look just over the horizon, and illustrate the scenarios. #VA-01

After the midterms, Trump will still be President with the power of veto. 1️⃣ What can change if #VA01 elects @shannontaylorva.com? 2️⃣ What will Congress definitely have to deal with? 3️⃣ What have House Dems committed to doing? Today's newsletter lays it all out. #VoteTaylorVA01

1. A group formed last week called “Progressive Alliance of Wisconsin” is attacking David Crowley, the state’s Democratic nominee for governor, with hundreds of thousands in attack mailers. A Popular Information investigation has linked the effort to GOP operatives.

Schuyler VanValkenburg@scvanvalkenburg.bsky.social

He voted for tariffs that made your life more expensive, health care cuts that cost people their insurance, a war on Iran that drove up gas prices AND he voted to overturn election results on January 6th. Vote for @shannontaylorva.com. We can’t afford Wittman.

With a week to go, VA01 continues to lead the way in Virginia early voting, followed by VA05, VA10, VA02 and VA06...with safe-blue/noncompetitive VA03 at the bottom bluevirginia.us/2026/10/sund...

Q: Why do you think Americans tell us over & over they don't like the direction of the country? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, it's a hostile media environment. Most of the mainstream media of course is advancing the false narrative of the other side -- the Democrats & the Marxists. They're on the other team

See these people? They've always been there. But Zuckerburg's Meta and Murdoch's Fox Media have catered to them for profit. By telling them to be proud of their ignorance, hate, and fear. Over and over. Since the early 2010s. So this 10-year horror show is on all of them.

President Donald Trump made sweeping claims about Somalis in the U.S., alleging that 98% don’t work because they “steal so much” and claiming they have “low IQ.”

Do not stop.

The President has no right to block election results if the wrong candidate wins. The Justice Department has no blanket right to demand private voter data. ICE has no right to intimidate voters. The law is on our side. Exercise it. www.lwv.org/blog/midterm... @lwv.org @brennancenter.org @aclu.org

Rob Wittman must be shook about Shannon Taylor accusing him of getting rich off Congress because these ads with him saying he's not rich and the only reason he has money is because his parents died keep running and running.

Wittman Watch@wittmanwatch.bsky.social

Nov. 3 is coming, VA-01. One in eight of Wittman's constituents relies on Medicaid. He voted for a law that cuts ~$911B from it, after reportedly saying he wouldn't. Now he's touring clinics to talk "protecting access." Three Virginia clinics have closed citing the law. Oh, the hypocrisy, the irony!

The "Texas Transgender Student Union" that mailed a trans student guide to Texas kids at home is a Wyoming LLC formed Sept. 2. It went out on a bulk permit held by Three Z Printing of Teutopolis, Illinois. This is a GOP ad. Nobody trying to reach trans kids mails it to their parents' mailbox.

44 hasn't lost a step.

#VA01 Another example of cowardly Rob Wittman doing nothing to protect his district. Rob will ALWAYS support Trump’s agenda even though he promotes himself as an environmentalist. #VA01 deserves better. Vote @shannontaylorva.com

“on the outskirts of Richmond, Va., the owners of an industrial warehouse emailed the Trump administration asking for their own waiver. Their wish was granted. Nine months later, the facility accidentally released a large plume of carcinogenic gas into the community.”

Wittman Watch@wittmanwatch.bsky.social

#VA01 is the bellwether district for the House majority race, so CNN's Jake Tapper interviewed @shannontaylorva.com earlier today. Tapper's right: the things Taylor accuses Wittman of are legal. That doesn't mean they're right! Taylor's plan will close the gap between legal and morally defensible.

Are they finally starting to get it? In Michigan, Trump voters are feeling the financial pain of his tariffs, and some are having serious regrets. A Detroit restaurant is losing $30K because Canadian visitors aren’t coming. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Wittman Watch@wittmanwatch.bsky.social

Oil is now almost $117/barrel and rising. Wittman voted for this - multiple times. He won’t stop supporting Trump’s insane decisions that make everything worse for normal people. No matter what you once believed, it’s clear we literally cannot afford Rob Wittman. #VoteTaylorVA01

1. I am very tired of being asked to be stupid. I know that is not the most important thing right now. There are many more serious consequences to electing a criminal president who is burning up the economy.

We’ve been warning for months they would try to interfere in the fair administration of our elections. Now, the president admits he personally directed the Department of Justice to intervene in a state’s election before the votes have even been counted.
