I think terrible Republican candidates win elections because their voters will find just ONE thing they agree with them on, forget about everything else, and cast their vote.

Great Democrat candidates lose because their voters will find just that ONE thing they disagree with and not vote at all.

2️⃣ This is why we need mandatory vaccination laws. Thanks to misinformation and anti-science agendas, people are not voluntarily taking the appropriate actions (at no cost!) for their own children and for the community as a whole.

Every step of my journey—from homelessness to the State House—has been guided by fearless faith. Faith that rises to meet every challenge with purpose. Today, I’m announcing my campaign for Governor of South Carolina. Our best days are ahead. #JohnsonForSC #NewSC #SCGov

Banning books are the actions of the weak-minded. The fearful. The ignorant.

Author Nikkolas Smith reminds us that when they ban books about justice and equality, they reveal their fear—not our failure.

Dr. Oz is really out there pushing the bounds of humanity.

Let’s elect compassionate healthcare providers (like me) instead of the fools who put this guy in charge.

These fucking guys have got to be stopped.

Untrained, unhinged, masked tough guy wannabes - this whole organization is a stain on the American way and they're dangerously running feral on the streets without training, accountability or governance. And now they are shooting each other.

It’s easier to meet Lindsey Graham on a golf course in Florida with Trump than it is to meet him in South Carolina as one of his constituents.

Actually, this isn’t about you, it’s about South Carolinians who deserve a Senator who isn’t full of sh$t.

2️⃣ "The numbers are staggering. More than 20 million working people who buy their own insurance are projected to see their share of premiums skyrocket by 75 percent on average next year, with many seeing their costs double."

1️⃣ If this isn't worth Democrats taking a stand for, nothing is. This is something that will dramatically impact Americans of ALL political persuasions. What a contrast to what Republican lawmakers stand for.

4️⃣ What then, are the EPA's priorities then? Mining coal? Burning oil? Polluting the air and poisoning waterways? Because they sure aren't focused on anything that actually helps the people of the United States!

3️⃣ "But in May, the EPA revoked the grant, which was issued at the end of the Biden administration, saying it was 'no longer consistent" with the agency's priorities'."

King Charles just booted his brother from his title because of Epstein. Pope Leo appears about to dissolve Opus Dei. But here in the US, Trump is pardoning George Santos, Vance is defending adult Hitler lovers, & Mike Johnson refuses to seat Grijalva because of what’s in the Epstein files.

The plague of medical debt was my top campaign issue when I ran for office. If I had only recruited The Toxic Avenger for his endorsement, I might've won!

'The Toxic Avenger' Has Helped Eliminate Over $15 Million in Medical Debt

Let's be real. They're not being "forgetful" or are "misremembering".

Instead, it's a continuous misinformation campaign that is effective among the unengaged - the majority who just scroll quickly through their timelines and read the headlines.

They know EXACTLY what they are doing.

Even now, Republicans are still struggling to remember who was president in 2020

One professor joked, “‘Who was president in 2020?’ is the question of our time.” The number of Republicans who can’t answer the question correctly is amazing.

And there it is. "School choice" is exposed for the scam it is.

What CHOICE is being given to students and their families who were ALEADY enrolled in private school??? We warned everyone this program is about SUBSIDIZING those who are already well off.

#SouthCarolina #SCPol #SchoolVouchers

School voucher demand soared after SC expanded eligibility. Who’s really benefiting?

Only 28% of this year’s school voucher applicants attended neighborhood public or charter schools last year, down from 80% in 2024, according to South Carolina Department of Education data.

Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor.

“He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said.
