Rob Wittman's constituents calling out his shamelessness posing for a photo op at a rural hospital that is being harmed by his vote for HR 1 & refusal to extend ACA tax credits. VOTE HIM OUT!

Typical Rob Wittman game - scared to say he is going to vote against the interests of his constituents. #VA01 deserves better!

Called worthless Rob Wittman's office & asked if he was going to vote to extend the ACA tax credits. After months of focus/cause of the 7wk shutdown, Rob's office cannot say how he's going to vote. Pathetic. We aren't stupid/know he'll never vote to extend them. VOTE (or redistrict) HIM OUT!

I don’t know how many people have actually internalized this, but the vast majority of local Democratic operations are staffed and run by blue-haired little old ladies who have been doing this for 40 years and are funding it with bake sales, and are keeping the flame alive in a time when parties are as weak as they’ve ever been. If you are under the age of 50 and you show up and act normal for, like, 3 months, they will do whatever you want because they’re so excited to have a young person there. Parties are weak right now because of some factors that are outside of our control, but a lot of factors are within our control and the big one is that we just haven’t paid enough attention to the atomic-level units, and party infrastructure. If you strengthen those, then party identity as a whole will follow. Party strength as a whole will follow.

They're tearing Goddard apart for scraps and I'm supposed to write as many proposals as I can to scramble for a fraction of the money NASA has left? Depressing, degrading, and dehumanizing in a time when the future of planetary science can be measured in the number of people it leaves behind.

We sent 13 GOP reps packing.
