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.

Great commercial 👏
My dad is a Republican. He voted for Lindsey Graham and Fox News is his go-to channel. But he knows exactly who I am: someone who listens, works hard, and puts South Carolina first. That’s why he’s proud to stand with me — and I’m proud to have him in my corner.

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..." fitsnews.com/2026/09/14/debi…

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.

Communities who oppose data centers want to be backwards and poor? The Lowcountry begs to differ. Here’s the real question to ask this November: When it comes to data centers, will all these GOP canidates on the ballot stand up for South Carolina, or fall in line with Trump?
The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor. If they want to be successful and rich, with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let Data Reign. The good news is that there are plenty of other places that want them. If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame. China could not be happier with this anti Data Center movement. Actually, they can’t believe it is happening!

Veterans know service does not end when the uniform comes off. Proud to join Senator @CaptMarkKelly and @GabbyGiffords at Tucson’s Launch to November Rally, supporting an impressive slate of veterans ready to serve again. Arizona Dems are organized and poised for a big November.

Five years ago, the suicide attack at Abbey Gate took the lives of 13 U.S. service members and 170 Afghan civilians. Today, we remember them by name: Staff Sergeant Darin T. Hoover Sergeant Johanny Rosario Pichardo Sergeant Nicole L. Gee Corporal Hunter Lopez Corporal Daegan W. Page Corporal Humberto A. Sanchez Lance Corporal David L. Espinoza Lance Corporal Jared M. Schmitz Lance Corporal Rylee J. McCollum Lance Corporal Dylan R. Merola Lance Corporal Kareem M. Nikoui Corpsman Maxton W. Soviak Sergeant Ryan C. Knauss I was recently in Kabul and had the opportunity to pay my respects near Abbey Gate. May we never forget the Americans and Afghans who lost their lives that day. Rest in peace.

Terrible news. American Icon. Rest in power, Dolly.
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old. Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact. At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com
