Veterans know service does not end when the uniform comes off. Proud to join Senator@captmarkkelly.bsky.social, @gabbygiffords.bsky.social at Tucson’s Launch to November Rally, supporting an impressive slate of veterans ready to serve again. Arizona Dems are organized and poised for a big Nov.

South Carolina, we can be proud of these numbers. For a primary election, the previous high water mark was 23,134 votes in a single day, statewide. We topped that record every single day in 2026. SC voters are fired up! Solid work Palmetto State 💪

Andy Beshear is right. Southern Democrats win when we stop sounding like Washington and start talking like our neighbors. Families. Jobs. Schools. Public safety. The American Dream. Speak plainly. Show up everywhere. Get things done.

South Carolina prides itself on our independence yet polticatians in Columbia are ready to roll over and surrender our elections to Washington, D.C. Vote early Tuesday, May 26. Use your vote as an act of defiance. South Carolina does not take orders from Washington, D.C. ✊️

#SOUTHCAROLINA! Early voting begins on Tuesday at 8:30! You MUST MUST MUST get to the polls first thing and vote. Our democracy is on the line. The more people that vote before the Senate goes back into session at 11:00, the harder it will be for them to gerrymander us. VOTE EARLY !

Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be called into special session over Memorial Day weekend & have to argue that military members & their spouses deserve to have their votes counted after they already cast their ballots. But here we are. Join the fight by voting early on Tuesday.

People keep asking what they can do to help in this redistricting fight. The answer is simple: VOTE! Early voting starts Tuesday, May 26 at 8:30 AM. The Senate cannot reconvene until 11 AM that day. That gives South Carolinians a real window to make their voices heard!

If a service member follows the rules, votes from overseas, and sends their ballot back, their vote should count. Period. “Thank you for your service” means nothing if we are willing to throw out their vote.

Hurricane season is no time for political theater. Sending 200 SC National Guard troops to DC for a non-emergency is reckless. Our Guard should be on standby for real disasters at home, not deployed for partisan optics. SC deserve better. www.postandcourier.com/opinion/edit...

Let’s be clear: No Medicaid money in SC funds abortion. Full stop. This ruling removes contraception, cancer screenings, and pregnancy tests for Medicaid patients. Cutting essential care isn’t “pro-life.” It’s just cruel.

"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.
