The SC Legislature wrapped up the first half of the 2025-2026 session last week. Here’s a summary of several noteworthy bills.

Tim Scott recently had the audacity to respond to me with a form email claiming, “the current state of illegal immigration presents significant challenges to our national security.”

A review of press releases on his website, scott.senate.gov, reveals no such concern for our national security.

The movement to end DEI is misguided in every way.

Organizations like The People’s Union USA have scheduled a total economic blackout—no spending—for this Friday, February 28.

Senate Bill 323 just made things a whole lot worse.

The SC State Board of Education removed four books from all state public school libraries and classrooms.

There are 153 pre-filed Senate bills and even more House bills. It’s worth skimming through them to see what our legislators are up to in our name.

Although Republicans’ hyperbolic and disproven claims about immigrants continue to persist, there’s surprisingly little discussion about the established benefits immigration provides to a country whose population growth is in decline.

Several times this spring I wrote to Rep. Nancy Mace to express my fears and frustrations. She responded with form letters containing these telling phrases: “It’s clear gun control and gun bans don’t work.” And, “Democrats just want to ban guns.”

Both assertions are nonsense, which is what we repeatedly get from Mace.
