America’s strength comes from how we use force, not just that we have it. What happened in the Caribbean crosses a line we cannot afford to ignore.

β€ͺ***Initial reports that two National Guardsmen were killed were, thankfully, inaccurate. Current reports say both are in critical condition. Praying for them and for a full recovery.‬

Terrible news out of Washington. Two National Guard members were killed near the White House. Praying for their families and for everyone who serves our country.

A president threatening political opponents with death is not normal. It’s dangerous. We have to call it out.

Gerrymandering is a cancer to our republic. South Carolinians deserve fair maps, not political schemes cooked up to silence voters.

Since August, I’ve been out in communities across the Lowcountry, holding open public town halls and hearing directly from the people of this district. No other candidate in this race has been doing that. It’s clear from every stop that this district is ready for new leadership.

Is housing affordable in the Lowcountry?
And no, 50 year home loans are not going to solve the problem.

Thank you to the @peninsula_dems for hosting such a great event last night. The turnout was incredible, with a lot of new faces and a lot of young people getting involved for the first time.

And after last night, it’s clear we have a lot of people ready to be in this fight for South Carolina πŸ’ͺ

We need fewer wet noodles in Congress and more people with a backbone.

Someone tell Nancy Mace that respect isn’t optional. Especially for the people who keep us safe.

Three town halls. Three incredible conversations. All in 24 hours.

Thank you to Governor Martin O’Malley for joining us across Charleston, Beaufort, and Hilton Head to talk about protecting Social Security and connecting with the people of the Lowcountry.

Protect our checks!

Strong turnout at The College Democrats at The Citadel’s town hall earlier this week!

I was joined by State Sen. Ed Sutton and CDR Jake Cass, USCG (Ret.), for a great discussion that ranged from national security to local flooding and everything in between.

Call your public officials who are making things worse. Demand that they tone down the rhetoric. Then make a plan to vote them out.

Free speech is the foundation of America. Trump's attempts to undermine it should alarm every American β€” no matter your politics.

As we enter Rosh Hashanah, I want to honor the Jewish community in our district. This is a time to reflect on the past year and look ahead with hope and renewal.

Wishing everyone celebrating a sweet and meaningful new year. Shanah Tovah!

Nancy Mace is a lunatic. She needs serious help, not power. Had to be said.
