She/her. #scpol strategy is my thing; trying to make it everyone else’s 🥴. Unapologetically opinionated and outspoken. Recovering people pleaser, former candidate, forever educator.

Statewide map: 7 districts. Looks more favorable to Dems than what we have now. The 7th going down to the peninsula is funny. The 5th going over to north Greenville is notable due to who is running for congress there.

@covie_93 on the bird app posted: The sad fact is, if Tyler Robinson had used his gun to massacre students at Utah Valley University instead of just fatally shooting Charlie Kirk, republicans wouldn’t care this much.

6pm tonight at Hoppin Rock Jill in the Railway Lounge. Nancy Mace event.
Mace outside Trump Tower in NYC trying to kiss his ass to earn his endorsement, which she didn’t get in that primary.
Michele Leber fb status: For the record-we did not have an open marriage and there's a narrative being pushed that i want to stay sober but my husband has wanted me to drink and experiment with drugs because "when she is drunk or high she lets him play... And sometimes plays with him." This is how little he respected me.
Rob Madsen: Rebecca and I are in the middle of a divorce brought on by these types of issues. As the father of 6, I’d appreciate it if we could be a little less worried about gossip and a little more worried about the kids who could see this. Heaven knows my kids or Michele’s don’t need more drama. Thank you.
Michele Leber posts on fb screenshots of texts between her husband and “Rebecca (Asst to Matt)” that read: 1) (from Matt) that is so sweet. Savannah talks to Kenzie like that. We will have that weekend. I will figure it out. We will go somewhere that no one knows our names. 2) (from Rebecca) got mom time and then I fucked it up with political shit with them but with just taking calls. I want you right now so bad. (From Matt) I’ll call you in a half hour or so. 3) what appears to be an erotic drawing that matches the image of “women want this”????

My commentary on fb: I am definitely going to ruffle a few feathers with this one, as more than a few of you have posted the image below. But I have to loudly and publicly disagree. I agree with the premise that if you keep comparing things to the Holocaust, it loses its power. However, 6 million of my people and millions more "othered" groups did not die just to have us stay silent when history repeats itself. We can't say "never again" and not point out the similarities of this moment. People are being taken off the street by the government, and without any due process sent to another country that we are paying to keep them in horrid conditions and refusing to do anything to bring them back, despite court rulings saying otherwise. If that's not worthy of a Holocaust comparison, what is? In this closing day of Passover, it feels even more valuable to have this conversation. And l'm happy to do so in a good faith manner.
GOTV rally in 2017 for then-candidate Phil Murphy. Booker on the left, followed by my red-headed SIL, my fabulous lawyer cousin, her fantastic music teacher husband, and me. My first Cory selfie! I was impressed how many people he could fit into the frame.

Screengrab of Treasurer Loftis’s statement following today’s hearing - comment section Curtis Loftis Robbie Robison Liberals are not my problems...moderate Republicans are...the Voter/Trump revolution has passed SC by! Webb Kempson Curtis Loftis Exactly. We all know where the liberals stand. It's the rhinos who "pretend" to be conservatives only to become a disappointment when they don't stand on conservative principles, and represent their constituents. We recently witnessed this in South Carolina when a small group decided that they would vote "their way" instead of voting the way of their constituents. They were all voted out of office. We the people just experienced a "revolution" at the ballot box exactly as our founding fathers intended. The career establishment politicians do not want us united and they certainly don't want the problems created by bad policies corrected beca...

Tweet from Nancy Mace. Reads: “Rise and shine cupcakes. We're headed out with ICE this morning. Trump's Executive Order means ICE officers can do their job better than ever. More federal agencies are now authorized to assist ICE officers. Moral is up. And criminal illegal aliens are being deported.”

Email from USDOE explaining the update on the SAVE repayment program for student loans. Lots of jargon, but key points are loans will not begin until Sept. 2025 at the earliest, because they’re struggling to properly calculate what people owe due to what the courts have determined is legal. We’re in forbearance until they figure it out. No payments needed, no interest accrued.
Email from 1/12/21 that reads: Good morning! I just wanted to tell you... I was doing after-school duty assisting the bikers going home yesterday. I heard 2 kids talking, and one of them said, "A lot went on in our country on Jan. 6." The other girl said, "What happened?" and the boy said, "Our capitol building was attacked and there was a protest. I didn't know anything about all of this until my teacher told me." I asked him who his teacher was, and he said you! I thought that was so cool to hear such young kids talk about what is going on in our world and the reality of everything going on. He sounded very interested, and I'm sure was appreciative that you could teach him about actual events happening in our country, that he may have never learned about, if it hadn't been for you. I just thought I would let you know that, and how much of an impact you are making on your kids! 😊
Lined paper with a student entry entitled “America.” It reads: America is a free country and there has been through rough years, but we still hold. It will always be hard but my favorite time of the year was New Year’s Eve. America is very good and bad people live in America when the people explored America and all the way until now. We are not keeping good care of our waters and we are over fishing and polluting the waters and racism and voting. We just need to settle. And what happened last night was very inappropriate.”
Tweet from Wesley Donehue that reads: I have a team of 90 political operatives I’m ready to put to work to take out Ralph Norman and I know every inch of the district like the back of my hand. He doesn’t support MAGA and he’s an embarrassment to South Carolina
