Last year Wittman wrote this to a #VA01 constituent. Now Trump has lifted sanctions and is allowing Russia to sell oil to funnel billions to its attacks on Ukraine. What is Wittman's response? 🦗🦗🦗 His silence means he's complicit.

This is a HECK of a profile of Taylor’s work as a prosecutor. She didn’t just hold criminals accountable. She improved the system to capture more of those committing crimes, and to take on corruption.

These prosecutors saw how the justice system failed women. Now they’re running for Congress.
From Epstein to Cornell, voters' angst over corruption and sex abuse is at a high point with just weeks until the midterm elections.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Rogers says he built Chrysler vehicles on an assembly line. Records show his work was at an aftermarket facility that modified vehicles after they left the factory.
