“It’s scary in a way.”

South Carolina families who rely on SNAP don’t know how they’ll feed their kids next month if Republicans keep the government shut down.

Over 556,000 South Carolinians could lose SNAP benefits on Nov. 1 if Republicans don’t reopen the government. That’s hundreds of thousands of families wondering how they’ll eat next month. #SCDems #SCpol #SNAP

GOP’s shutdown means 260,000 SC families could lose SNAP benefits

SC’s HBCUs form a new bipartisan HBCU Caucus to strengthen and sustain these vital institutions.

South Carolina Democrats win nearly 45% of the vote yet hold just 1 of 7 congressional seats. That’s not balance, that’s a rigged system.

We stand with Rep. Clyburn in fighting for fair maps and fair representation.

A South Carolina pastor warned lawmakers: This abortion ban will drive doctors out of the state. That means less care, fewer providers, and more suffering for women across SC. Republicans are choosing control over care. #StopSB323

Even Trump’s own team knows Republicans are losing the shutdown fight.
They let health care subsidies expire, and now millions of Americans face higher costs. They can’t spin their way out of this.

This bill isn’t just cruel, it’s unconstitutional. One South Carolinian told lawmakers to put SB 323 where it belongs: the shredder. And he’s right, this abortion ban would hurt everyone, not just women. #StopSB323”
