Sometimes you just gotta post a picture of your cat instead of the insanity of the current regime.

“In January, the state Medicaid agency received a $17 million grant, to be handed out over the coming decade” Thank you to the Biden administration for investing in SC women’s healthcare! scdailygazette.com/2025/04/29/a...

As a result of Trump’s tariffs, 125 South Carolina workers are grappling with devastating news. While all job losses are painful, these are particularly excruciating because they were inflicted with no coherent justification by the President of the United States.

“Most jobs were created in the Midwest region, with 42,000 jobs added, while the South saw the lowest employment growth over the last month, with just 3,000 new jobs, the report found.” thehill.com/business/527...

Book bans silence diverse voices, limit critical thinking, and restrict students’ ability to learn about the world around them. When one individual can dictate what all children can or can’t read, it sets a dangerous precedent for censorship and control. www.aclusc.org/en/news/10-a...

Rep. Nancy Mace won’t hold a public town hall—so we took our voices straight to her office. BCDP hand-delivered notes written at Rep. Clyburn’s People’s Town Hall. These are real messages from real constituents. We’ll be sharing more soon. Want to ask your question? Join us tomorrow at 10am

“Democrats say the Trump administration is denying Abrego Garcia his right of due process, and of plunging the country into a constitutional crisis by ignoring the Supreme Court order to bring him back.” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

“Layoffs at the Federal Student Aid office at the Education Department have made it harder for students to get their questions answered, even if they wanted to pay their loans, said Kristin McGuire, executive director for Young Invincibles.” apnews.com/article/stud...

“Clyburn is branding these events as part of a "listening tour," launched at a time when many South Carolinians are demanding live, in-person town halls. Instead, they've been met with dismissals, insults, virtual events and telephone town halls…” www.postandcourier.com/politics/jim...

From the Lowcountry coastlines to the Upstate mountains South Carolina’s natural beauty is worth protecting. This Earth Day, let’s act like our future depends on it, because it does. #EarthDay2025

We deserve better than Nancy Mace #SC01

Small business is really hurting right now- because of the Trump tariffs…

Yeah, it’s petty, but oh my gosh,I needed this photo to get through the werk substack.com/redirect/416...

Budget without earmarks could harm poor, rural parts of SC the most, some legislators say scdailygazette.com/2025/04/22/b...

Here’s the video from Nancy Mace’s constituent. This looks like it was filmed from the beginning of their encounter and it doesn’t appear the man brought up same-sex marriage.

Who radicalized him?

Bluffton S.C. showed up with their signs. (Beaufort and HHI too)

#MorningVibe I said “Somebody should do something about that.” Then I realized I am somebody. ✨ @lilytomlin.bsky.social Be that person. Use your voice.

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for the Florida State shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

“Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic” But, of course that happened 😡 www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Another story that must be told: An ICE agent grabbed Merwil Gutiérrez. One of his fellow agents said, “No, he’s not the one.” Merwil Gutiérrez is a 19-year-old asylum applicant who lives in the Bronx. He was the “wrong one.” ICE wasn’t there looking for him. “Take him anyway,” came the reply.

These goofballs are politicizing the military and firing any female commander who doesn't drink the kool-aid. Shameful behavior. taskandpurpose.com/news/space-f...

This is naked corruption that uses federal policy to pour money into the pockets of the President's largest campaign donor. Forcing the nation's 70-some million Social Security recipients to sign up for the website owned by a Nazi saluting billionaire is outrageous.

Gutting. Foster's work on the long-term consequences for people who are denied abortions, versus those who receive abortions, was so significant (& rebutted anti-abortion shibboleths like regret). We talked w/ Diana about her work on this @strictscrutiny.bsky.social ep: crooked.com/podcast/what...

Peter Navarro spent four months in prison for refusing to tell Congress about his plan to steal the 2020 election for Trump, but that didn't stop him from returning as a top trade adviser.
