We laughed, we cried, we got fired up. I had a great time in Camden, SC last night!

Mac Deford, Coast Guard vet, lawyer, announces run for SC's 1st Congressional District Mac Deford, a U.S. Coast Guard veteran and former law enforcement officer, announced Tuesday his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives.

My life has been guided by service — from the U.S. Coast Guard, to the courtroom, to local government in the Lowcountry.

Now, I’m running for Congress to bring competence back to SC-01 — because we deserve better after Nancy Mace.

I want every TX story on redisctricting to point out that what's different here is that it's a mid-cycle gerrymander by the same party that did the original gerrymander.

Before you see a hundred or so posts saying that Texas has issued arrest warrants for the absent Dem legislators, you should be aware that they are civil warrants issued by the House that are not effective outside the state

www.texastribune.org/2025/08/04/t...

There is no legal standing in the state of Texas for this to be enforced.

This headline is trash. Being able to travel is a privilege many can’t afford. That’s why I’m a monthly donor to @psabortionfund.bsky.social

Today (August 4) at 5 pm in Moncks Corner, the ACLU of South Carolina will join a press conference calling on the Berkeley County School District to restore student access to the free virtual library Discus and explain why access has been blocked since February.

illinois gov. JB pritzker responds to ken paxton's threat to arrest TX democrats who fled the state: "they're here in illinois. we're going to do everything we can to protect every single one of them."

“Trump in high heels” as in, she only cares about herself. Accurate.

My clown of a congresswoman is an embarrassment to our state and nation. In a crowded primary, I hope she learns how folks in SC really feel about her. And I hope it means we lose her for good.

Rep. Nancy Mace kicks off South Carolina GOP gubernatorial bid. She says she's 'Trump in high heels' Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina is running for governor. Mace enters a GOP primary in which competition for President Donald Trump's endorsement is expected to be fierce.

NEW: Rep Nancy Mace makes her SC governor bid official.

During an extensive weekend interview with me, she called herself 'Trump in high heels," laying out a multi-pronged platform & saying "no one will work harder" to earn Trump's endorsement.

And yet, their state lawmakers are focused on illegal gerrymandering instead. For shame.

Now deleted status ^

Michele Leber fb status: For the record-we did not have an open marriage and there's a narrative being pushed that i want to stay sober but my husband has wanted me to drink and experiment with drugs because "when she is drunk or high she lets him play... And sometimes plays with him." This is how little he respected me.

Out of all his wife’s posts over the last 24-hours, this allegation is the most alarming.

Rob Madsen: Rebecca and I are in the middle of a divorce brought on by these types of issues. As the father of 6, I’d appreciate it if we could be a little less worried about gossip and a little more worried about the kids who could see this. Heaven knows my kids or Michele’s don’t need more drama. Thank you.

The (alleged, no reason to assume this is a fake profile, but today’s world is whack) husband of the alleged mistress chimes in on the comment section:

Michele Leber posts on fb screenshots of texts between her husband and “Rebecca (Asst to Matt)” that read: 1) (from Matt) that is so sweet. Savannah talks to Kenzie like that. We will have that weekend. I will figure it out. We will go somewhere that no one knows our names. 2) (from Rebecca) got mom time and then I fucked it up with political shit with them but with just taking calls. I want you right now so bad. (From Matt) I’ll call you in a half hour or so. 3) what appears to be an erotic drawing that matches the image of “women want this”????

Michele Leber Facebook status: and there are more married men and for over a year Rebecca Madsen

#scpol dramaaaaa. MAGA state Senator Matt Leber has been accused by his M4L backed school board member wife of an affair. She’s publicly posting through it on her open Facebook page.

I’ll reserve my comments.

Well some of that $110 million helped flip a number of SC state legislative seats and elect black sheriffs, several in counties that did so for the first time since reconstruction. I know because I was a part of the team that used some of that money down ballot in South Carolina.

The way that I am the exact target audience for Parks and Rec is always hysterical to me. Like why is this a thing? Such a niche category of government/political humor. Never not cracking up when I rewatch.

Booker is a no.

Lindsey Graham, the Project 2025 guy, or me?

And also Chutes and Ladders.

Nancy Mace falsely accused this doctor of child abuse & she lost her job. She's running for Senate. - LGBTQ Nation Dr. Annie Andrews talked to LGBTQ Nation about what it was like being targeted by Nancy Mace and how she's fighting back now.

@drannieandrews.com is exactly the kind of fearless, intelligent, empathetic, and tenacious person that we desperately need in the Senate. I’m proud to support her.

Senate Republicans just voted to confirm Trump lackey Emil Bove to a lifetime judicial appointment.
 
The vote was 50-49. Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski joined all Democrats in voting against Bove.

Several whistleblowers accused Bove of misconduct at the Justice Dept.

Senate Confirms Trump's Most Alarming Nominee To A Lifetime Federal Judgeship Bove faced credible allegations of telling DOJ attorneys to defy court orders. Republicans confirmed him to a seat on a U.S. appeals court anyway.

JUST IN: Senate Republicans have confirmed Emil Bove to a lifetime federal judgeship, choosing to ignore credible allegations that Bove had told Justice Department attorneys to defy court orders and say “fuck you” to judges who ruled against them. www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

Q: Were some of the workers Epstein took from you young women?

Trump: Well, I don't want to say. The answer is yes. They were people that work in the spa. I said, listen, we don't want you taking our people. And he was fine and then not too long after that he did it again and I said, 'Out of here'

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?

Trump: I think so. He stole her.
