Wittman: Taylor is soft on crime! Wittman skips that the nurse was banned for life, the hospital failed to report the NICU probe to CPS; the firings occurred before she took office, and Richmond's prosecutor also declined to charge the nursing home aide. Selective sourcing is a hell of a drug.

Kiggans' ad said Luria made $21M trading stocks. WAVY's Truth Tracker: false. Luria's disclosures show assets fell ~$720K. Kiggans' source? A Fox News report. Bold move, using cable news as your accountant. Second ad claims Kiggans is bipartisan. Nope: she votes with Trump 95% of time. Oops, Jen!

Wittman’s vote for HR1 has thrown 94,000 Virginians off healthcare SO FAR. From January 1, even more will lose access - not because they’re ineligible but because of bureaucratic traps that HR1 deliberately created. Wittman voted for it. We will all pay the price. #NoWittman

Wittman has voted for the SAVE Act twice and posted about noncitizens voting. Let's check on the administration's big Nevada "investigation" that was supposed to prove the point. DHS: found 15,903 in Nevada. Then 185. Nevada says all 185 are citizens. Maybe vote a third time, just to be thorough.

The conclusion to @hcrichardson.bsky.social's post today nails it. The evidence has been clear for a long time - see the thread below from 9 months ago. Trump has been working for Putin this whole time, and most of the GOP is complicit, knowingly or not, e.g. Rob Wittman in #VA01.

Congressman Rob Wittman will speak to an elite group of people at a yacht club about affordability but won’t do in-person town halls for his constituents to listen to their concerns about the high costs of groceries, gas, and utilities. #VA-01 🧵 www.wittmanwatch.com/p/without-to...
Captioned picture of Congressman Rob Wittman speaking about the issue of affordability at a yacht club (picture and information per his Facebook page). He’s standing at a podium, hand raised while he speaks. A little cartoon devil perches on his right shoulder. Three people stand nearby, one of them being Glen Youngkin, ex-governor of Virginia. The caption at the top reads, “The Weirdo Yacht Club Presents:”. A speech bubble pretends that Wittman is saying, “My fellow millionaires, let’s show VA-01 how out of touch we *really* are!” A thought bubble above Youngkin’s head pretends to have him thinking, “Yeah, poor people suck.”

Captioned screenshot from Congressman Rob Wittman’s campaign event at Boots and BBQ at Lawson Bay Farm. This picture features Wittman, Virginia ex-governor Glenn Youngkin, and a mature man wearing a red baseball cap in conversation. Wittman and Youngkin are smiling wide while looking at the other man. This picture was captioned with Wittman having devil horns and eyes. The thought bubble above him reads, “Southern strategy for the win!” The thought bubble above Youngkin reads, “Sucker!” to convey how Republican voters fell for GOP southern strategy propaganda. A cartoon devil sits on the white chair in the background, looking like he’s cheering on Wittman and Youngkin.Captioned screenshot from Congressman Rob Wittman’s campaign event at Boots and BBQ at Lawson Bay Farm. Wittman and Virginia ex-governor Glenn Youngkin are posing for a picture with three attendees, whose faces are obscured by clown cartoon faces. The caption above them reads, “What’s with the matching vests?” Yellow arrows point from the caption to Wittman and Youngkin, who are wearing similar black vests to this event. A second caption reads, “(That’s just weird.)” Because it’s weird that they showed up to this campaign event wearing similar vests.

Idea: Erase City from all league tables since the takeover by these owners. Their games and results never existed. For those years, let the history books show only 19 teams in the league. Recalculate the tables and crown the champions in public, whoever they are.

Inevitable. If possible, PL clubs need to vote to suspend Citeh from the league until this is resolved. It’s the only way to curb the club owners’ clear tactics of delay and obfuscation. Make it THEIR problem.
