No data center in York County, SC! They devour community resources without creating more than a handful of jobs or other benefits for residents.

A couple of trucks had made several passes, attempting to โroll coalโ at the stop light.There were cheers & laughter after one of them roared off the line at the green light and the RHPD officer 2 cars behind hit his lights. Too bad we couldnโt see the actual stop to applaud!
Dang! Thatโs new.
SC Healthcare premiums- expected to increase up to 285%, courtesy of 47 and Republicans
47โs unconstitutional tariffs increased prices.
Job growth is contracting.
They CUT programs while GROWING our debt.
They are not conservatives, but thieves. Call them, tell them so, then vote them out!
Reading Rainbow Students deserve to see themselves represented on school bookshelves.
Students should have the freedom to read stories that reflect their reality.
Fight back against book bans in your community.

They were turned away at the door.

This is South Carolina. It is not a scientific survey but people did take time to vote. 70%. Seventy percent. 70% did NOT approve of the governor sending troops to DC.
This is why private schools wanted tax dollars. They want to indoctrinate our children and create a tiered system of education instead of education for all! This is unconstitutional!

Now letโs do South Carolina next, where the State Board of Education has banned roughly 20 books, with the majority of the successful challenges coming from ONE parent. @thescea.bsky.social @scfored.bsky.social @freedomtoreadccc.bsky.social
A total of 12 people have walked on the Moon. Most people can name at least one (Neil Armstrong). Some can name two (Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin). Few can name more than that.
Jim Lovell never walked on the Moon, but everyone knows him as the guy who got his crew back safely. Hell of a legacy.
RIP.

Still very timely in SC- they have raised beginning teacher pay, removed points requirements for 5 year license renewals for experienced Ts & guaranteed work days at the start of the year. Yet, theyโre piloting a program where someone can serve as a T for 3 years wo being in a T prep program! ๐ณ
You canโt focus on recruitment without improving working conditions and pay. Period.
โThousandsโฆwho switched careers to become North Carolina public school teachers are leaving their roles within three yearsโฆthe latest indicator of the hiring challenges plaguing school districts across the state.โ
South Carolina if we get another chance to vote, please stop voting like a billionaire, unless you are one. Donโt vote against your own self interests or those of your neighbors, family and friends. Because our representatives are not at all concerned.
When I visited Ralph Normanโs DC office in 2019, there was a Trump bobble head on the desk. Must have been a reminder that,even if he talks a big game on fiscal responsibility, his MO is to cave & nod mindlessly for policies like the ๐ฉbudget bill. #SC

I called Ralph Normanโs office earlier this week & today. The sweet staffer today tried to explain that the bill wasnโt going to cut SNAP benefits, but โreform the program to make it better.โ ๐
Thatโs some next-level pretzel logic there.
Thank you, Alex, for speaking truth for the 5th District!
