Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Nikki, should we go to war against EVERY country where there are people who chant β€œdeath to America?”

How come β€œHow are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Just replying to say that @macdeford.bsky.social can wipe the floor with this nutter- and any other nutter who winds up on the GOP side of the ticket. #Scpol #SC01

Joe- I hate I will miss you in CHS today (and I didn't get to say hi this weekend in DC, but you were great at the Principles First Summit).

Thank you so much for speaking and for standing up for what is right.

I sure hope we can replace Lindsey this November too!

And btw, our elections in this country, ALL of them, belong to us. Belong to the people. Not him. So fuck him for declaring war on OUR elections. Again.

Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War A statement from our CEO on national security uses of AI

A big thank you to Anthropic!

After a weeks-long standoff between the Defense Department and AI firm Anthropic over how the military can deploy its technology, CEO Dario Amodei said tonight that the company will not loosen its usage policies.

Proud to be a part of the @macdeford.bsky.social campaign- our phone bankers are the BEST.

Get on board with Mac Deford and volunteer with us- primaries are June 9 and we'd love your support! #sc01 #scpol

I don’t have any issue with bringing out the hockey team, but if Trump thinks he can hide behind patriotism to save his failing presidency, he is sadly mistaken. Nobody cares when they can’t afford groceries.

Karen Hollings has been a wonderful Register of Deeds! Let's keep her in 2026- the office is running sooo much better now.

This. They knew what they were voting for. I just hope they see the error of the ways sooner rather than later.

George W. Bush Can Suck It He didn’t throw shade at Trump; he whitewashed authoritarianism.

"For Bush to blithely insist that everything will work out just fineβ€”that 250 years from now we’ll still have a liberal democracyβ€”is an insult to everyone struggling against emergent fascism in this moment."

Jermaine is a great guy! And it was great to meet you last week at Mac's event. Your earrings are beautiful, and I hope you had a blast last night at the CCDP meeting and meeting Jermaine.

Thinking of you with the campaign and kicking things off!

Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, James Island, HHI, Beaufort, Summerville, Moncks Corner... Mac Deford is the leader we need here in #SC01 .

Your vote is your voice, we can send a Veteran, Attorney, Public Servant, and Democrat to DC.

I am awake at midnight writing a cover letter for a job.

This was fun at 21 when I was a college senior, but not so much at 40.

FBI won’t share Alex Pretti shooting evidence, Minnesota authorities say State’s governor had demanded impartial inquiry into the shooting of the VA nurse by federal immigration agents

The reason the FBI won't share evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting case is obvious:

The FBI is NOT investigating the shooting; they are covering it up.

Or shoot, go volunteer for a Republican or independent candidate. Just don't turn your anger within.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I got laid off from my job of 18 years this week, and it is not lost on me that I'm getting my final paycheck today, on Friday the 13th.

If anyone wants to hire a Senior Technical Writer (software) who also dabbles in organizing charity 5K run/walks and politics, I'm your lady.

I miss all the earthquake action and NEVER feel them. It's like I'm missing out even though they are so close. We had another one tonight here in CHS.

Go Mac! Love that you have so many of your neighbors in #SC01 standing with you, because you've been in our district doing the work for years.
