@RobWittman What have you done to convince your Republican senate colleagues to vote for a bill? They’ve rejected ten.
Also who sponsored the bill you voted for?

Today, I voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security. This avoidable shutdown has resulted in missed paychecks, airport delays and congestion, and disruptions in critical services. TSA officers, members of the Coast Guard, and DHS personnel play a critical role in protecting our nation by ensuring the safety of Americans, and they should not have to worry about paying their bills or putting food on the table. They deserve stability and support, which is why I will continue to support measures to reopen DHS.

@RobWittman 10 bills to fund DHS voted down by Republicans. What have you done to convince your colleagues to pass a compromise bill?
What have you done to convince the President not to torpedo legislation to fund DHS just bc it is proposed by a democrat?
English
On February 14th, funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) lapsed — resulting in a partial government shutdown. Over a month later, the DHS shutdown is still in effect, and it is harming personnel, including Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents and Coast Guard servicemembers as they face missed or delayed paychecks, while also causing uncertainty and critical service interruptions for the American public during a time of heightened risks. It is past time to end this costly shutdown and restore stability and safety to our communities.
English
@RobWittman What are you doing to try to get republicans in the senate to agree to a compromise to pass TSA funding? There have been 10 bills voted down to fund TSA. Voted down by Republicans.

I’m glad to see that the first turbine of the Central Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project is generating power for Virginia’s energy grid. All-of-the-above energy strategies strengthen our national security and help meet rising demand for energy in Virginia — lowering energy costs, creating jobs, and strengthening energy reliability. pilotonline.com/2026/03/23/dom…

@EllyKayUSA Guy who has no chance of winning a primary comes out against something to grab headlines and try to get notoriety?
In other news, water is wet.

Holy ship! 👀
Democrat Mark Moran, who's set to primary Senator Mark Warner, has come out against Virginia Democrats' anti-democratic attempt to cheat via gerrymandering.
We need more Democrats willing to be honest about this referendum.
Virginians must vote No!
Mark Moran for U.S. Senate@itsmarkmoran
I’m going to say this despite what it will do to me politically - I think the Virginia redistricting is extremely anti-democratic and that it is a reactionary policy to Donald Trump that was created by DC consultants… In 2020, 66% of Virginians voted for bipartisan maps…the new maps slice up Arlington and take away the voice of everyone outside of northern Virginia… In every local democratic committee I’ve been in, when this issue comes up, nobody can defend it, it’s just “well this is what the party says is best.” NO. The Democratic Party loses because of reactionary maneuvers and because it doesn’t have a big bold vision for the future. They say it’s “temporary” but FOUR years of gerrymandering isn’t “temporary” and because I value our constitutional republic over all else… I’ll be voting NO and I encourage everyone else to, but I can’t hold my tongue any longer despite what this will do to me with the Dems in Virginia

@tylerbowyer He’s already come in behind Cornyn once.
Amazing so many are following someone who has so much trouble following the law.

Ken Paxton will beat James DelTaco.
James DelTaco will beat John Cornyn.
So goes Texas… so goes the nation.
The Washington swamp knows it.
The Dems know this.
It’s time for Republicans to be adults.
It’s time for Cornyn to drop out and endorse Paxton.
Do it John.

Senate Ds and Rs reached a deal to fund DHS. Trump blocked it, saying "No deals with Democrats."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Sen. John Kennedy: "The Democrats offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted and I said, 'Ok, let's accept their offer,' and then at the same time we would offer a bill for reconciliation where we don't need any Democratic votes to do whatever we wanted to do with ICE. That way we're out of the shutdown and DHS is back open. Thune submitted that to President Trump. He said, 'No. No deals with the Democrats.' So we're back to square one."

@GarrenShipley Study isn’t a policy. HB 30 is a funding bill. It lays out appropriations for all Virginia government.
English
@Jay_Chappell67 You want the bill numbers?
Pay raise: HB 30, one of the first line items.
Car tax: Voted for a "study" of repealing the car tax, died in the Senate. Voted NO on an amendment to HB30 to begin the phase out.
New Payroll Tax: HB1207
RGGI: HB397
English
And by "shit," he means voting to raise their own pay by 300 percent, add a new payroll tax, ignore the car tax, and jack up your power bills with RGGI.
Affordability!
Majority Democrats@MajorityDems
Scott & Spanberger are getting shit done for Virginians. They’re working across the aisle on the 90% of issues that we all agree on.
English
@PolitiBunny Incorrect. The person who is ultimately in charge of ICE was Noem. And the policy is being directed by Stephen Miller.
Homan is a border czar who was brought in to try to give it some legitimacy after all the failures of the past year.
English
@Jay_Chappell67 Did you know the same man who ran ICE under Obama, who Obama gave a medal to, is who runs ICE under Trump?
We should fund them all.
English
Most Americans are ok with this, especially since Democrats aren't paying TSA.
Senator Andy Kim@SenatorAndyKim
Americans don’t want ICE in our airports or in our communities. We just want Republicans to agree to fund TSA so workers can be paid and these lines can go down. Trump is trying to intimidate us. It’s time Republicans agree to fund TSA instead of voting it down every time.

@BoFrenchTX Go ahead and post your bank account and how much you make pretending to influence while you peddle hate.

HAPPENING NOW: The city of Dallas, Texas, has begun removing all gay pride rainbow crosswalks from the city. The move comes after Texas Governor Greg Abbott made the order back in October. About time.

@slcinva12 @RobWittman Yes he will, but because of his inability to lead or actually represent the interests of his constituents. Not because of demographics.
English
@RobWittman Not to be rude. The unchecked growth in western Chesterfield and its economic development is bringing in folks that will continue the move to blue. I left Winterpock because of this expansion. It's becoming Fairfax 2.0 . You'll be voted out by Ds. 🤷♀️
English
Fostering economic growth in the First District is one of my top priorities. That's why I fought for funding for the Powhite Parkway Extension project in Chesterfield County. My $8 million funding request will provide for the completion of the parkway expansion between Woolridge Road and U.S. Route 360 — connecting Chesterfield county to the Richmond area and expanding economic opportunities for residents.

@RonCab13 @BraddrofliT Your conspiracy theory has been disproved. Challenges thrown out of court. People have gone to jail over the plot Trump has to overturn the election.
You’re wrong and posting nonsense.
English
So when you apply logic, do you really believe that Joe Biden received the most votes ever by a candidate in our country’s history, and not by a little by more than 7 million people. Also do you believe that Kamala received the 3rd most votes ever by. Democrat candidate. Both those are illogical
English
Let’s stop pretending this makes sense: if Democrats really had the power to rig the 2020 election, why the hell wouldn’t they use it again in 2024 to keep Trump out? The conspiracy falls apart the second you apply basic logic.
Looking forward to MAGA comments.

@KarenHamiltonVA Maybe try to convince other voters to vote for you.
Maybe try to appeal to a wider swath of voters.
Maybe actually stand for something besides fealty to Trump.
English
In other words, democrats are just
going to cheat “temporarily”—by design. Because by the time republicans are back in power, the “temporary window” to reciprocate these actions will be closed and Virginia will be permanently blue….do you really think the Dems that hand drew these districts for themselves will be ok with just a temporary seat in Congress?
If you believe that I’ve got an oceanfront property in Kansas to sell you.
Governor Abigail Spanberger@GovernorVA
I voted YES on Virginia’s redistricting referendum. Virginia’s approach preserves our bipartisan redistricting process for the future. It also responds to other states that are catering to a President who says he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress. 🗳️ Vote by April 21.
English
@MorosKostas They haven’t been “repeatedly overruled.” That’s an erroneous opinion to give.
English
Fair enough, but what about the same thing going the other way?
A handful of district court judges keep baselessly ruling against the Admin all of the time due to their personally directed hostility to the President. Even being overturned repeatedly hasn't stopped them.
CSPAN@cspan
Chief Justice John Roberts amid President Trump's criticism of judges: "Personally directed hostility is dangerous and it's got to stop."
