"No new wars" So now, where does this end? How does bombing Iran benefit US interest? Our own intelligence says Iran does not have a nuclear weapon and they are not close to having a weapon. Iran will retaliate. Americans will be the target. This path was avoidable.

If that’s how they treat an elected official, imagine how they’ll treat you for speaking up. This isn’t normal. True leaders should be working overtime to deescalate the national tension.

Tough talk is easy. Leadership is hard. Trump is stoking chaos in CA, and some SC politicians are trying to ride the same wave with performative threats. This weekend, be a grown-up. Deescalate. Defend free speech. SC deserve leaders, not wannabe strongmen.

Insane attitude related to gun safety in SC: High on drugs, passed out in a college parking garage with 'two AR15 pistols, three Glock handguns and the bevy of ammunition' Charges dropped because of 'open carry'. How does this make Charleston safer? www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/c...

Several SC international students just had their visas reinstated after sudden, unjust revocations. This cruelty was met with pushback—and it worked. SC Democrats are standing up for those targeted by fear-based policies. We won’t back down. scdailygazette.com/2025/05/02/s...

🚨 Raising taxes on 60% of South Carolinians? The supermajority has lost its mind. While SC Dems fight to keep money in your pockets, the GOP’s tax plan hikes taxes on working families to give breaks to the wealthy. I won’t support it. www.postandcourier.com/politics/sou...
