Trump is killing alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers while pardoning a convicted former Honduran president who was involved with drug trafficking.

Hey neighbor me, you may have gotten this email from Rob. I’m surprised he put in an Other option. Let’s get that Medicare for All 💪🏽

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.

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!

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

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?

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.)

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

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.

Wittman’s latest lies.

1. What happens after the tax credits expire in December, Rob? Your party of fiscal responsibility can’t put a budget together and keeps stacking continuing resolutions.
2. You cut $155 billion from rural health care via the big beautiful bill, Rob.

An emotional day at No Kings. Felt like being in a warm embrace with tens of thousands of good people making good trouble.

I’m at the @whropublicmedia.bsky.social candidate forum tonight to learn about issues that matter to my neighbors in Williamsburg.
October 15, 2025 at 10:25 PM
Rob Wittman will be doing a tele town hall at the same time as a Williamsburg Candidates Forum.

Way to know your district.

Don’t worry Williamsburg, I’ll be there with you to support our candidates 🥳

Winsome taking notes from Trump constantly, and publicly, wanting to kill people.

"Murder is murder and one day it's going to be your turn."

Lying Rob is at it again.

He claims he voted for a bipartisan House bill to fund the gov't.

My guy, only 1 Democrat voted for it.

The bar for bipartisanship is lower than the number of town halls he's held this year.

Rob is trying to deflect that Republicans put the 'own' in shutdown.

Just saw Rob Wittman has another 'pay-to-play' event to see him.

Here's a difference between him and me: you don't have to pay to see me.

Check out my website at SalaamForVA.com and you'll see a NEW option to set up a meet and greet!

Republicans: people don’t need SNAP, we have food banks.

Also Republicans: let’s cancel 94 million pounds of food deliveries to food banks

Busy day on the campaign trail. From Glen Allen Day Parade to West Point’s crab fest to Short Pump’s meet with the young dems.

No matter where we were, there was great community ❤️
October 5, 2025 at 1:10 PM
Thanks to Randolph Macon College Young Dems for bringing together folks for a chat about our campaign and sharing issues that matter to them. 🙏🏽
October 3, 2025 at 2:17 AM
A pleasure to chat with @elainescampaign.bsky.social on rural health care. We spoke about the big beautiful bill’s impact on Essex County.

Know someone with an H1B and is out of the country? They need to return immediately.

I'm proud to join @endcitizensunited.bsky.social’s Unrig Washington Campaign: a bold, public commitment to clean up Congress. I'm leading by example by refusing corporate PAC money, supporting a stock trading ban, and cracking down on dark money. #ecuunrigwashington

Health care costs jumping by horrific amounts thanks to Rob Wittman giving billionaires trillions in tax cuts.

People will lose health care, their meds, and die. I’m a public interest lawyer running for Congress to fight back - join us by clicking link in bio.

Thanks @charlesgaba.com for analysis

Attended the Epstein Transparency Act press conference today in solidarity for survivors with hundreds of people.

Rob Wittman nowhere to be found.

Protecting children from pedophiles isn’t a partisan issue. I’d sign onto the bill.
