Introducing Edward Charles Sutton III. He will go by Tripp.
Our lives have taken on a new purpose as of today. 😍
Senator Ed Sutton retweeted
Things like this are the reason why I introduced the joint resolution to put a moratorium of construction or permits for data centers in the state of South Carolina. Of course the super majority GOP would not pass it and now look at who is going to suffer! It's time for a #NewSC
Fighting back against Flock... before it was cool.
I support giving law enforcement effective tools.
I do not support building databases of innocent citizens’ movements without strong privacy and cybersecurity protections.
In 2027, I plan to introduce legislation to rein in Flock cameras.
Public safety without mass surveillance.

On Saturday, Hot Spot Fishing Charters, a Pensacola-based charter fishing company found and recovered a large distinctive delta-wing unmanned aerial vehicle in the Gulf of America, several miles off the western coast of Florida.
The UAV, found by the charter group during a six-hour fishing tour, shares a striking resemblance with the Iranian Shahed-136, but is likely either a Low-cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (LUCAS) or a Griffon Aerospace MQM-172 Arrowhead, both of which are American-built and designed copies of the Shahed.
So far the U.S. Air Force and nearby Eglin Air Force Base have declined to comment on the discovery, with Hot Shot Charters stating that authorities arrived later in the day to retrieve the drone.

And the people who caused this, want y'all to believe they ALONE can fix this! Don't let my opponent fool you. It's time for a #NewSC

Which state leads the nation in the rate of foreclosure filings? SOUTH CAROLINA.
The @CityofColumbia ranks No. 1 on the metro area foreclosure list, too, with Spartanburg at No. 3 and Charleston at No. 5.
The affordability crisis is getting worse, people...

If you make a business phone call, should you have a legal right to know if the voice on the other end is live or AI?
To date, little artificial intelligence legislation has moved in the Statehouse, even as concerns around the tech mount with residents.

Another chance to wage war and raise gas and grocery prices? No, thank you.
I've never heard of this guy until today.
A 🤡 that should be ignored.

Agreed. I just traveled across South Carolina calling for the gas tax to be suspended. No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and filling up their tank.
This moment demands an all-of-the-above approach and all hands on deck to bring down costs for South Carolinians.
Cut the gas tax NOW!
Thanks @AGAlanWilson and @SCFreedomCaucus for leading the way.
Wilson staring to look more and more like the next DeSantis…

Great story from @IAmNickReynolds about a great guy @EdCSutton
Worth the read on this Monday morning

Suspend the gas tax.
🚨⛽️
Come on, @HenryMcMaster... call the @SCHouseGOP and @SCSenateGOP back in session and challenge these so-called "Republicans" to indefinitely suspend the 28.75-cent gas tax.
Democrats led by @SenRussellOtt and @JustinBamberg are on board, as is your own party's nominee to replace you - @AGAlanWilson.
Do something right by taxpayers for once in your ten-year "reign..."

Five years after the end of the U.S. mission in Afghanistan, the country is still considered a no-go zone for Americans
“Do not travel to Afghanistan for any reason,” the U.S. Consulate sternly warns.
South Carolina Sen. @EdCSutton went anyway.

9/11 Memorial Motorcycle Ride Charleston.
Over 500 bikes.
The Lowcountry is home to lots of patriots. Thank you to all who organized. 🇺🇸
Twenty-five years.
I have spent a lot of time this week reflecting on September 11, 2001, what our country lost that day, and the journey we have taken since.
I have often said that 9/11 was my generation’s Pearl Harbor moment. For many of us, myself included, it created a deep sense that we needed to serve. It is almost hard to comprehend that enough time has now passed for people inspired by that day to have served an entire 20-year military career and retired.
Today, we honor the nearly 3,000 people who were killed. We honor the first responders who ran toward danger. And we honor those who suffered and died years later from illnesses connected to the dust and debris of Ground Zero. We also remember something harder to define: a piece of our country’s innocence that disappeared that morning.
For me, the lasting lesson of September 11 has always been service. Wearing the uniform was one chapter of that service, but it does not have to end when the uniform comes off.
This morning, I will spend time at a veterans housing community and later chair our local flooding task force. They are very different missions, but the purpose is the same: take care of people and leave this country a little better than we found it.
Twenty-five years later, perhaps one of the best ways we can honor those we lost is to keep serving one another.
Never forget.

For those keeping count, Trump has now promised:
- $5000 if Rs win in November
- $5000 from DOGE
- $2000 in tariff dividends
- $1000 in "savings" from expired ACA subsidies
And delivered NONE of it.
While you can't afford your groceries, he's taunting you with $13,000 in empty promises.
Trump: "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."
Republicans control all 3 branches of government.
Why not issue the checks now?
Trump: "Only I can make this promise to you: If the Republicans win the House and Senate, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000"
