Devastated to learn the passing of @LindseyGrahamSC He and I were elected to the South Carolina House together in 1992 and have remained friends since. He was stalwart in his devotion to the betterment of his beautiful home state. While my prayers are with Darline and his amazing team, I remain grateful for his service, dedication and friendship.

Only a handful of people ever reach the title President of the United States, Jimmy Carter excelled beyond in deed and actions. Godspeed good sir. 🇺🇸

Thank you @HeathSessions for respectfully pointing out that words matter.
Stephen as your colleague in the S.C. House I’d humbly ask you to reconsider your word choice. We can all do better and be more kind and responsible with how we talk to one another. This goes for me too. My sons are examples of special children that enrich my life.

Watching 60 Minutes tonight is a strong, steadfast and emotional reminder of the valor, grit, tenacity and selfless devotion of first responders and the unquenchable American spirit. #NeverForget 🇺🇸
This Sunday, 60 Minutes remembers the New York City firefighters who were sent into the World Trade Center to rescue victims on September 11, 2001 — a life-changing experience that’s now a part of who they are.

Thank you @SenTomDavisSC for your pragmatic and thoughtful leadership.
Honest debate by elected officials on public policy is the hallmark of a healthy constitutional republic. Calling out charlatans who mislead the public is also important. Here’s a piece by me via @fitsnews exposing the @SCFreedomCaucus doing exactly that. fitsnews.com/2024/05/25/gues…

Thank you @SenTomDavisSC for your conservative and pragmatic approach to policy
.@SCFreedomCaucus says S 4927 creates a Fauci-like “Health Czar”?? It does the opposite. Now, several directors of health agencies answer only to unelected commissioners, which led to violations of liberty during the pandemic. S 4927 brings accountability to these bureaucrats.

Saddened to learn of the passing of First Lady Rosalynn Carter. She experienced a remarkable life and leaves an indelible legacy of devotion, dedication and love.

Great South Carolina story of survivability for local news. #SCTweets #Journalism
Three years ago in South Carolina, ten local newspapers folded their print editions. But some papers are bucking the trend, collaborating with other newsrooms and raising funds from readers to expand their coverage of vital local news. bit.ly/3JDIgXK

Well said, sir. She is #Legend
Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.

My father was a WWII veteran, lawyer and legislator. He always said everyone hates lawyers until they need one. Moreover, if decency and honesty ruled, he would be out of business.
Attorneys have been criticized since Shakespeare but play a key role as elected officials at the federal, state and local levels. Attorneys draft legislation and ordinances, help reach compromises and bring a unique perspective to the process. ⁦@SCBAR⁩ ⁦@SC_Courts⁩

Thank you @MicahCaskey and @SenTomDavisSC for calling out draconian measures impugning women and South Carolinians. Keep governing from a common sense perspective.

Significant post by @SenTomDavisSC In many ways.
Replying to @MicahCaskey
.@SCFreedomCaucus arguments opposing #Scout incentives pending w/ @SCHouse @SCHouseGOP @SCHouseDems @scsenategop @SCSenateDems @SCSenate @henrymcmaster @SCcommerce are just as specious as their arguments opposing #HateCrimes. Kudos to Rep. Caskey’s for exposing their toxic dreck.
