Let’s give credit where it’s due, the Biden administration has guided our nation out of a pandemic and the threat of a recession. Thanks

Today's news: ✅ Growth stronger than projected ✅ Wages up, faster than inflation ✅ Unemployment filings at late-1960s levels ❌ Gloom & doom coverage of the econ - WRONG ❌ GOP plans to raise gas prices, impose national sales tax, cut SS/Medicare, debt chaos - WHY?

Sound familiar SC?

It seems really bad that tens of thousands of Florida families are going to lose health coverage because Ron DeSantis is an ideologue who wants to be president. amp.miamiherald.com/news/health-ca

Today, Chair Amanda McDougald Scott joined Reps Chandra Dillard, Wendell Jones, Chair Kathryn Harvey, and the Dem House Caucus in Columbia. We wore red to support public ed and fight against bills that will deny SC children's access to quality education. #redfored

The bill they’re considering is a TOTAL abortion ban. Even after the SC Supreme Court rules that privacy applies to our own bodies. The bill - H. 3774 was introduced TODAY and they’re holding a hearing Thursday. 1.5 days notice for a meeting during a weekday. Deplorable.

The SC House Judiciary Subcommittee will meet THIS Thursday, 1/26, at 9 am, Blatt Room 516, in another attempt to ban abortion. Be there. Speak to committee members. Call your legislators. Enough is enough. SC has more pressing needs.

Let’s be clear: If we allow a former president to completely avoid accountability for inciting an insurrection against the U.S. government, we will be inviting it to happen all over again. Prosecute Donald Trump.

Ignoring the problem of gun violence clearly isn’t working.

Australia took action on guns after a mass shooting. Gun deaths fell by over 50%. Britain tightened gun laws after a mass shooting. Gun deaths dropped by almost 25%. New Zealand banned most semi-automatic weapons immediately after a mass shooting. Only America refuses to act.

We don't stand for censorship in the teaching of American history! We don't stand for students' right to access developmentally appropriate information! We stand for teachers' autonomy and respect their profession! That is why we are against H.3728. Will you stand with us?

So many solutions could be considered to slow the gentrification in Greenville. One is inclusionary zoning. Another is people understanding the need for density. We must let our elected officials know the importance of affordable housing. zcu.io/t3h6

Nancy Mace is a shape shifter on abortion, she sounds reasonable on talk shows, then consistently votes with the far right. She can’t be trusted.

Facts don’t lie.

For context, roughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years actually occurred during the 4 years of the Trump administration. That's right. 25% of our entire national debt, all during the Trump years. twitter.com/SpeakerMcCarth…

From 2017-early 2020, Trump signed into law $4.7 trillion of new debt, above & beyond what US had been expected to borrow absent new laws About half of that $4.7T in new debt was through spending increases. This was all *before* covid hit. wapo.st/3GOj52A

We cannot raise the debt ceiling. Democrats have carelessly spent our taxpayer money and devalued our currency. They've made their bed, so they must lie in it.

Once again the GOP is willing to crash our economy for political theater.
Quote Tweet
I’m sick and tired of hearing this lie peddled by the GOP and corporate media. Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken on— and defaulting on the debt would be catastrophic.
