Her name is Logan Federico. She was a bright young soul murdered by Alexander Dickey who had 39 prior charges, including 25 felonies. He should have never been on the streets in South Carolina! We will remember her name!

For years, the SPLC has labeled Americans as "extremists," put them on lists, and raised millions of dollars off those accusations. 

If you're going to smear people as extremists, you ought to be able to explain the standard. The SPLC claims it has "specific criteria" for who ends up in its extremist files, yet the people making those decisions operate behind closed doors. That's because this was never about fighting hate. It's about targeting people they disagree with politically.

The SPLC says it has "specific criteria" for deciding who belongs in its extremist files. I asked what those criteria are. No answer. Just vague references to "experts," secret determinations, and circular talking points. If you're going to smear Americans as extremists, the least you can do is explain the standard you're using.

"Are Nazi flags and KKK memorabilia a factor in identifying extremists?" This shouldn't be hard. The answer is obviously yes. I handed the SPLC a softball. Actually, a tee-ball. But instead of a simple yes, the president of the SPLC gave me a dance routine.

The Mexican cartels have never had better lobbyists than Democrats in Washington. For four years their border policy was deny, deflect, & delay. The country rightly rejected it. Now, Democrats have held our ICE & CBP agents hostage because they’re upset the border is secure. Americans are done being put last at the expense of Democrats coddling illegal immigrants. I proudly voted to send the reconciliation bill to President Trump’s desk & to stand with our federal law enforcement.

By the SPLC’s standards, Graham Platner, the soon-to-be Democrat Senate nominee, should’ve been on their so-called hate list. But when confronted with questions about a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo, the SPLC turned a blind eye. Instead of taking accountability, we got excuses, evasions, and word games. For an organization that claims to be the authority on extremism, that was a stunning display.

Enough with the political circus. The mission is critical. We were elected to secure the border, support our law enforcement, and protect our country, not get distracted by shiny objects and political theater. Let's get the reconciliation bill passed and send it to the President's desk.

Every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar taken from hardworking Americans. @HouseGOP is exposing waste, recovering stolen taxpayer funds, and making sure fraudsters face consequences. The days of wasting taxpayer dollars and looking the other way are over.

Mother. Father. These are not controversial words. Yet Democrats are so consumed by radical gender ideology that they're replacing basic biological reality with absurd woke jargon. This is what happens when common sense leaves the room.

Congratulations to Jake Iannone of North Myrtle Beach High School and Finn Long of Georgetown High School on officially accepting appointments to our nation's Service Academies. Jake will attend West Point, and Finn will attend the United States Air Force Academy. These young men have worked incredibly hard to earn this honor, and their leadership, discipline, and commitment to country are truly impressive. The future of our military is bright with young leaders like Jake and Finn answering the call to service. South Carolina's Seventh District is proud of their accomplishments, and I wish them the very best as they begin this next chapter.

Eighty-two years ago today, American troops led the charge on the beaches of Normandy and helped turn the tide of World War II. The freedoms we enjoy today were secured by the courage, sacrifice, and resolve of those who answered the call. We remember the heroes of D-Day and honor the legacy of the Greatest Generation.

Washington doesn’t have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem. For years, taxpayer dollars were handed out with little oversight and almost no accountability. @HouseGOP is exposing fraud, cutting wasteful spending, and making sure every dollar is spent with the American people in mind. Democrats built the bureaucracy. Republicans are cleaning up the mess.

We shouldn’t forget that the Obama Administration sent pallets of cash to the Iranian regime which only incentivized their bad behavior and nuclear ambitions. President Trump and his administration understand peace is achieved through strength, and any agreement must be focused on preventing Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The choice couldn’t be more clear. Republicans are putting America’s future first by investing in families and the next generation. Meanwhile, Democrats are pushing the idea that the best thing you can do for the climate is not have kids. Children are not a threat to the planet. They are the future of our country.

Republicans are cutting billions in wasteful spending, cracking down on fraud, and demanding accountability for every taxpayer dollar. Democrats are defending foreign pet projects, attacking efforts to root out waste, and treating every spending cut like a national emergency. The choice is simple: commonsense or crazy.

Hurricane season is here and living on the coast means understanding the importance of preparation.  Take the time now to review your emergency plans, gather supplies, and stay alert throughout the season. A little preparation today can make all the difference when a storm threatens our communities. myrtlebeachonline.com/news/w…

Congratulations to the Latta Vikings on bringing home the Class A State Championship and securing the program's 10th state title! Proud of these student-athletes and all they accomplished this season. Their hard work, resilience, and determination paid off. Way to make the Pee Dee proud! ⚾ scnow.com/sports/high-school…

If you're wondering why Americans have lost trust in Washington, start here. The choice couldn't be clearer.

For years, both parties have agreed on one thing: Iran can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. That remains the red line. President Trump has built his career on being a tough negotiator, and I trust his judgment to secure a deal that protects the American people and keeps Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Instead of helping calm the situation, New Jersey Democrats continue stoking the fires. For weeks, activists have targeted this facility, and now we're seeing the next escalation. This is a Democrat-manufactured problem. The most urgent need right now is addressing the lawlessness happening in New Jersey, and Secretary Mullin is doing the best he can with limited resources.

Thanks to the Myrtle Beach Chamber for having me last week! I enjoyed discussing the work we're doing to keep taxes low, unleash American energy, support small businesses, and get the government out of the way so innovators and job creators can do what they do best. South Carolina is leading the way, and we're going to keep building on that momentum. 🇺🇸
