Hey @wittmanwatch.bsky.social , what movie character does Rob "We Can't Afford Him" Wittman most resemble? I wanna say Dumb and Dumber, but I can't decide which character.
WE CAN WIN KANSAS.

ICYMI— This debate 🔥

Adam Hamilton won over the crowd.

Incumbent Republican Roger Marshall did his best, and still got booed, jeered and heckled by the people he represents.

Gross. Wittman has sent a deceitful FUNDRAISING email about the Strotman/Henrico NICU case for which Taylor obtained a sentence SIX TIMES the guidelines.

Trading on the case by lying is disgraceful. But that’s Rob Wittman.

We debunked this attack ages ago. Don’t let Wittman get away with this!
Don't be fooled by Rob Wittman's attacks on Shannon Taylor
Here’s what Wittman is likely to say when cornered

Here are the latest 6-10 and 8-14 day precipitation and temperature forecasts from the Climate Prediction Center at NOAA. We will see cooler than normal temperatures and above normal precipitation chances as we head into next week and early September.

Sound familiar @wittmanwatch.bsky.social ?
Virginia AG Jay Jones calls out Republican officials who are too afraid to stand up to Trump: “Your loyalty and your obligation runs to your state and to the people who you represent, not to the president.”

@wittmanwatch.bsky.social Robbie wastes our money
The Pentagon has never received a passing grade on a comprehensive financial audit.

One thing is clear: Vast sums are funneled into costly weapon systems that chronically come in over budget.
The $1 Trillion Black Box
The U.S. military budget is vast and opaque. Projects touted as engineering marvels end up facing years of delays and ballooning costs. ProPublica has launched a series to report on the Pentagon’s spe...

Essential reading on the consequences of El Niño.

Its impacts on staple crops, rice in particular, will land on top of fertiliser shortages and low US harvests due to drought.

“A sufficiently large El Niño is not a weather anomaly at all. It is going to be a global food shock on a 12 month fuse.”
Scorched Harvest: The Strongest El Niño Ever Forecast, the Crops in Its Path, and the Hunger It Will Leave Behind
How 3.6 degrees of warm water in the tropical Pacific is about to redraw the map of global hunger and why, this time, no one in power can claim they were not warned.

Is this bad? It sure seems bad given we're scraping the bottom of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and Trump's stupid neverending war.

"Unthreatening and respectful", just like the J6 insurrectionists attack on the Capitol
Calling North Korea "unthreatening and respectful" when they send missiles, shells, and troops to kill Ukrainians is a special kind of lunacy.

We are ALL paying for Rob Wittman’s vote to hand our dollars to billionaires and take them away from healthcare.

🛑 13 rural Virginia hospitals at risk
📈 $3.4 TRILLION added to the national debt
🤕 260,000 Virginians losing their healthcare

He voted for all of it.

We can’t afford Rob Wittman.

I endorse this sentiment. Trump regime doesn't give a shit about life, especially vulnerable populations. We might as well have a target on our backs.

Trump ain't well y'all
When did all this daily drama, mania, insanity and lunacy start? Oh yeah, it was January 20, 2025. Every day more corruption, threats, arrests, firings, shootings, indictments, scandals, and power grabs. The other guy was old. This guy is an old, psychotic, malignant narcissist.

Trump really, REALLY wants to genocide Iran' people cuz he's jealous of Bibi.
Trump, sitting next to Zelenskyy: "In one day, we could knock down every single bridge in Iran. There's not a thing they can do about it ... if we have to, we'll take them out. They have desalinization plants. We'll take them out if we have to ... maybe we'll take over Kharg island."

This needs to be a priority
Ted Lieu: “Chief Justice John Roberts is an extreme political actor that has led the most partisan Supreme Court in U.S. history — this is a radical Supreme Court that is making decisions simply to benefit Republicans

It's going to end up in massive Supreme Court reform when Democrats take control”
