That “dog that hasn’t barked” is barking now. Epstein’s own emails mention Donald Trump spending hours with victims and the so-called “party of family values” is silent. Silence from the powerful isn’t innocence it’s complicity. #Epstein #Trump nytimes.com/2025/11/12/us/po…

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct

In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims.

This isn’t about money—it’s about access. $10,400 a year to serve 3 days a week? Unless you’re rich, you can’t do it. Wes Climer’s lawsuit keeps working folks out of the legislature. That’s not democracy. #SCPol #FairPay

An unfortunate decision that could impact the legislative service to constituents. With community investment funds gone and now in-district expenses gone, SC is hell bent on not taking care of actual South Carolinians

This wasn’t about a “pay raise.” It’s about fairness. Lawmakers make $10,400 a year, serve at least 3 days a week, and work year-round. Unless you’re rich, you can’t afford to serve. Wes Climer’s lawsuit keeps working people out of office. scdailygazette.com/2025/11/1… @WesClimer

SC Supreme Court strikes down legislative pay raise • SC Daily Gazette

Along with the $18,000 raise, legislators will not receive the $12,000 they have gotten for decades under the opinion.

We don’t just have a #bluewave, we have a #BlueTsunami. Democrats won by MASSIVE margins in four states: Virginia New Jersey Pennsylvania California The American people sent a clear message to Trump and Republicans: WE. WILL. NOT. YIELD.

Tonight was a referendum. Voters rejected hate, division, and Trump’s agenda. Forward wins.

Democrats won across the board tonight. Prop 50 passed in California. The voters rejected Trumpism. We’re moving forward — not back.

These numbers are terrifying. Richland County has the highest number of participants for SNAP benefits and could see 49,277 lose them. We need our government to work for us and not starve us!

I just want a government that works … due to the federal government shutdown, 9,659 people in Pickens County & 266,000 people in the state may suddenly be without their SNAP food credits in November. That’s 7% of our neighbors in this county, probably around 5,000 are children. I know if the federal government shutdown stretches into November, our churches & community will try to fill the gap … but gaps will exist, children will be hungry, & all of it a creation by politicians unable to govern. I don’t care which party to blame. I’m part of the segment that doesn’t care about the political theater until it negatively impacts our community. dss.sc.gov/news/alert-scdss-…

So we have $40B for Argentina, $1B for Trump’s Qatar jet, $250M for Trump’s ballroom, $150M for Trump’s golf, $520M for National Guard deployments & $172M for Kristi Noem’s jets - but ZERO to lower our healthcare bills. Got it! @RalphNorman @WesClimer @RepNancyMace @GrantForSC

Trump airlines? Shut down. Trump casinos? Shut down. Trump steaks? Shut down. Trump vodka? Shut down. Trump university? Shut down. Donald Trump has kept his promise to run our government like he ran his companies: shut down, with unpaid workers & blaming everyone but himself.

Jasmine Crockett isn’t low IQ She’s a brilliant attorney who has a very low tolerance for mediocre white men who believe hurling racist insults at Black Women is a feat of strength. We stand with Jasmine.

There is an assault on the free speech of many Black Americans who have expressed disagreement with Charlie Kirk's views. Professionals at Clemson and Winthrop have been fired and HBCUs have seen increasing threats. @GrantForSC and I discuss the stakes.

Not sure if you’re just plain stupid or simply dumb. For those in the back who don’t get the difference between racism and prejudice read carefully below. I’ve taught at the collegiate level for years, so maybe I can educate you.

Funny how I have a troll who shows up on every post. I’m loving it. They’re upset because they’re irrelevant and my constituents keep re-electing me with 80% . Keep trying. I’ll keep winning.
