Now we get to hear from the candidates for Senate who are hoping to replace Lindsey Graham in 2026. Starting with Dr. Annie Andrews. #scdp #scpol

True that!

America keeps flunking the civics test. Trump ran as a convicted criminal and still won votes by pretending COVID was Biden’s invention. When ignorance is a campaign strategy, policy doesn't stand a chance. #AreWeGreatYet #LowInformationVoters

Wish she would spend 1/10th the time acting on behalf of her constituents here in the Lowcountry as she does promoting herself. She clearly needs therapy.

I truly hope that Steve Schmidt is right about Elon’s future. substack.com/@steveschmid...

The president tried to defund one of the world’s top universities because it wouldn’t submit to his will. But sure, tell me again how the real threat to free speech is “wokeness” on campus. #AreWeGreatYet #RuleOfLaw

Karma… www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/s...

The massive “One Big Beautiful Bill” passed the House with a single vote last week. That bill now faces a tough road in the Senate. They are demanding DEEPER poison pill spending cuts & restrictions on Federal Courts. Now is the time to SAY NO to harming democracy. (202) 224-3121 @lwvus.bsky.social

Donald Trump revealed this weekend that he doesn’t understand Vladimir Putin at all; even as Putin is making it clear that he absolutely gets — and owns —Donald Trump. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Keep on keeping on #resisters.

Today we remember the women and men who valiantly served in defense of a strong democracy empowered by engaged voters. The League's ongoing mission: Defending democracy. Empowering voters. Reflect & honor today. Engage & fight with us tomorrow. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

I would like to wake up one morning and not have the first 6 articles in the #NYTimes include the word Trump.

Memorial Day isn’t just about burgers and barbecues — it’s about honoring those who gave everything so we can live free. Take a moment to remember. Then go ahead and enjoy your weekend. That’s what they fought for adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/what-memor...

Honoring those who served and sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

This hits hard.
