The President’s move to criminalize flag burning is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has already ruled (Texas v. Johnson, 1989) that flag burning is protected free speech. Attacking the First Amendment doesn’t make us safer or stronger, it undermines our democracy. Nothing he will do will stop us from fighting in the streets, in the courts, and in the legislature.

A sacred place of prayer became a scene of terror.” “Our hearts are with the Annunciation Catholic School community in Minneapolis. Children should never fear for their lives at school, at church, or anywhere.” “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action to end gun violence.”

Tragedy in Minneapolis: 2 kids killed, 17 injured after gunfire at Annunciation Catholic School.
Children deserve safety in schools, churches, and communities — not fear. Thoughts & prayers aren’t enough. We need action to end gun violence now.

BREAKING: Trump just missed Gavin Newsom’s ultimatum. California will officially draw new gerrymandered maps in favor of democrats.

Lindsey is laser focused on safety in DC while SC ranks 46th in overall safety.

To be fair, he might not know how to use his GPS to find his way back here to SC. So I included instructions for him here.

Trump’s one big, ugly bill would strip health care from 285,857 South Carolinians.

It just passed the Senate. Now it’s back in the House.
Call your rep. Tell them to vote NO.
