Started my day at the Loris Bog Off and got to meet so many people who make our state so great. The weather wasn’t the best, but that didn’t stop folks from coming out and supporting their community. Thanks for the hospitality!

That the @WNBA players could be so ignorant and ungrateful for the blessings of American liberty as to boycott our beloved national anthem is truly despicable. I hope the league goes down in flames. They're on their way. foxnews.com/outkick-sports/d…

ICYMI: Yesterday, I announced my Affordability Agenda to lower the cost of living for South Carolina families. From cutting taxes and lowering gas prices, insurance premiums, and utility bills to rooting out government waste, we're putting families first and taxpayers back in charge.

South Carolina is leading the nation in job growth and wages! This is what conservative leadership is all about, creating jobs, growing our economy, and putting South Carolinians in a better position to succeed. Let’s keep the momentum going!

In my congressional testimony earlier this year, I exposed the SPLC’s efforts to pressure banks and technology companies to debank and deplatform Christian and conservative organizations. I urged Congress to investigate. Yesterday, the @USOCC announced that nine of America’s largest banks had policies to “deny or limit” services based on customers’ “political or religious beliefs.” The OCC’s findings raise serious questions about the role of outside ideological organizations, including the SPLC, in influencing these banking policies. Congress must follow the evidence, determine who was responsible, and hold accountable those who unlawfully discriminated against Americans because of their beliefs. Religious liberty and equal treatment under the law must not depend on the approval of powerful financial institutions.
"SPLC was the hub, but there are many spokes that make up this wheel designed to crush Christians and conservatives. The congressional inquiries should not stop with SPLC." @tperkins @JudiciaryGOP | SPLC: Manufacturing Hate

Today, on what would have been his 33rd birthday, our Nation honors the loving memory of Charlie Kirk - a father, husband, Christian martyr, & titan of the conservative movement. We renew our resolve to always defend our principles of truth, faith, & the open exchange of ideas.

South Carolina’s main account doubled from $7 billion a year to $14 billion in ten years. The income tax brings in about $6 billion. The money came in. The state spent it. My road to zero starts with spending discipline: hold growth to population and inflation, then use the difference to bring the income tax down. No new tax on anything. Watch the new episode of Show Me the Money. I walk through the numbers and how it could work.

The dream of owning your first home is becoming harder to reach for too many South Carolina families. As Governor, I'll work to cut unnecessary regulations, streamline permitting, and remove barriers that drive up housing costs. Young families deserve the opportunity to put down roots and build their future right here in South Carolina.

Started the day in Spartanburg at the USC Upstate Leadership Conference discussing workforce development and the future of South Carolina's economy. From there, I met with the Spartanburg County Foundation, toured BMW's Spartanburg plant to see South Carolina manufacturing in action, and stopped by Chick-fil-A to meet with folks in the Upstate. South Carolina's greatest strength is its people, and as Governor, I'll work to ensure every community has the opportunity to grow, every business has the freedom to succeed, and every family has a chance to prosper.
