#SouthCarolina !

We've got work to do!

PROBLEM #1

There are ~4,014,460 people over 18 in our state.

Only ~3,360,507 of them are registered to vote!

So there are 653,953 folks who can vote but aren't registered.

That's NEARLY 16%!

(A small percentage of those are ineligible ~.4%)

1/3

One thing I've got to hand to TACO.
He's always finding new ways to have his cabinet show their affection for him.
Here is an example of his creativity.

Truth in a nutshell
An old Cherokee told his grandson, “My son, there is a
battle between two wolves within us all.
One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, lies and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, empathy and truth.”
The boy asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”
“The one you feed.”

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “J.D. Vance’s speech was incoherent— saying everyone is invited and then saying you don’t have to apologize for being white and we’re a Christian nation, doesn’t feel particularly inviting… Trump’s approval with Gen Z voters is at 29%, 32% with Latino voters…”

(2/2) President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer. President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy's.

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

He's lying. How do we know?

Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.

It’s much easier to share nonsense conspiracy theories about the federal government on a podcast than to work for the real federal government.

I also want to know why every reporter isn't asking him to explain how he can claim to be solving the drug problem by blowing up boats while he's pardoning all the biggest drug dealers.
Like Rep Gregory Meeks I want to know why Republicans are silent about Trump pardoning a narco who was convicted of smuggling 400 tons of drugs into the country.

Selfish asses
Trump and Republicans in Congress seem to love socialism for the rich -- corporate welfare, subsidies, and tax breaks galore. Yet they demand harsh capitalism for the rest of America.

Today MAGA brought anti-abortion health care legislation to the House Floor that will make the American people sicker, undermine preexisting condition coverage, and drive up health insurance costs. I voted ‘hell no’ on this poison pill prescription.

BREAKING: The Energy Dept's watchdog just agreed to open an investigation into Russ Vought and Secretary Wright’s cancelling of energy grants at my, @padilla.senate.gov and @lofgren.house.gov urging.

Trump's targeting of blue states is unlawful and deserves rigorous oversight.

Meanwhile, fundraising for essential expenses on GoFundMe increased by 20% over the past year.

Ex-Trump lawyer John Dowd defends Jack Smith:

"Smith was once my adversary in a high-profile investigation of a Republican client. In that investigation, Smith proved himself to be fair, impartial and fearlessly committed to the facts … [R]ecent attacks on Smith are motivated by partisan politics."
Opinion | I'm Trump's former lawyer. Jack Smith should be celebrated, not vilified.

Always follow the money, especially in the USA
We don’t have a complete account of Donald Trump and his family’s finances. But a clear picture has emerged: enrichment of the First Family on a scale that is unprecedented in American history.
The Year in Trump Cashing In
In 2025, the President’s family has been making bank in myriad ways, many of which involve crypto and foreign money.
