“South Carolina Democrats can’t even win a 2nd house seat, how can they win statewide?”

The SC map is so gerrymandered that statewide races range D40-45% while the Dems in congressional races get 28-42% (yikes).

Believe it or not, statewide SC races may be more viable than SC01 or SC02.

A National Guard report accidentally emailed to the Post says veterans and active-duty troops view the D.C. deployment with "shame and alarm" @alexhorton.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
National Guard documents show public ‘fear,’ troops’ ‘shame’ over D.C. presence
Internal documents reviewed by The Post reveal, with rare candor, how domestic missions rooted in politics risk damaging Americans’ trust in the military.

I actually think at this time in America when our president is terrorizing his own citizens to distract from the fact that his best friend ran the most notorious child s*x rings of all time is a phenomenal time to elect a pediatrician to the U.S. Senate.

Lindsey Graham is obsessed with being Trump’s loyal boy toy, and he’s addicted to supporting predators.

It’s way past the time to send him packing and put @drannieandrews.com in the U.S. Senate!

My hot take about 107 days:

Kamala Harris tried her hardest to save us from fascism and the American people chose tyranny instead.

Let that woman get her bag!

There are a lot of new folks here so I wanted to reintroduce myself. 👋

I’m a mom, a pediatrician, and person who is willing to say what needs to be said.

And I am a Democrat running to send Lindsey Graham home.

Trump is losing his mind, Elon Musk is in a K-hole, Lindsey Graham’s approval is at 34%, and 2026 is about to be totally unpredictable… so I just gave $500 more to my friend US Senate candidate @AnnieAndrews.com to send Graham packing! Who is with me? secure.actblue.com/donate/drobr...

I am so proud of my friend, mentor, confidant @drannieandrews.com… she is moving full steam ahead in her run to unseat Lindsey Graham, who *must* be retired after 2 decades of flip-flopping and lining his own pockets!

For the kids, and for South Carolina ❤️

At least seven of the cited sources in the ‘MAHA report’ do not even actually exist.

For example, the document listed epidemiologist Katherine Keyes as first author of a study on anxiety in adolescents… “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,” Keyes said.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

The "debate" on the big, awful budget bill being debated in the House, which will be changed by a leadership amendment nobody has seen, makes the Senate filibuster process look much better.

This is so awful from Nancy Mace on her vote against allowing new mom’s to utilize proxy voting for 12 weeks after birth…

“As a woman and a mom I think making duly elected women choose between the wellbeing of their infant and their duty to vote is just wonderful” like WTF?

“Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, and even Anna Paulina Luna should be ashamed of themselves.

Congress came close to solving a real problem to help moms and their newborns, and GOP leadership fully tanked it.

We all deserve better.”

Barely 3 months into 2025 and we have exceeded the total number of cases of measles in 2024.

Meanwhile, Trump & RFK Jr’s CDC seems to be downplaying the outbreak’s dire status — as well as downplaying the best way to combat it: The MMR vaccine.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.
