Food pantry visits by military families are up over 30% since the #TrumpShutdown began. Our troops defend our country. They shouldn't have to worry about feeding their families because of Trump's political games. Fund our government. Pay our troops.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility: "Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump threatens tech export limits, new 100% tariff on Chinese imports starting Nov. 1 or sooner, as trade war reignites.

Y’all, I nearly failed my statistics class in college, but even i understand that correlation doesn’t equal causation.

An 11th case of measles has been confirmed in the Upstate, the Department of Public Health (DPH) announced Thursday. Since September 25, the DPH has reported eight measles cases as part of the ongoing outbreak.

Rep. Sheri Biggs was weeks or months late disclosing more than 170 stock, treasury bill and corporate security trades made by her husband, Bill Biggs. Say it with us: Ban congressional stock trading.

The amount of sense MTG is making this week is highly worrying me for my own mental state.

The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act clearly requires that furloughed federal employees receive back pay after a shutdown. This wasn’t partisan when it passed, and it shouldn’t be a question now. Trump is spinning further out of control by the day. (1/2)

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

I might even pray. I never pray.

South Carolina public school librarians and students filed a lawsuit Tuesday asking a federal court to block the enforcement of the state’s book-banning regulation and classroom censorship memo issued by the state education superintendent.

SC Department of Education sued over book-banning regulations #scnews

NEW: Three students and the SC Association of School Librarians are suing SC Education Superintendent Ellen Weaver to challenge her book banning and classroom censorship policies. During Banned Books Week and every week, we’ll show up to defend the freedom to read. www.aclusc.org/en/press-rel...

Remember, when you want to open your mouth to point the finger at "bad" "red" states, you can pause and notice which "bad" "red" states have people on the ground fighting like hell for ALL OF OUR RIGHTS. It's Florida. It's Texas. It's South Carolina. Any ignorant talk like that's an auto block.

**NEW** Today, the ACLU of South Carolina filed a lawsuit on behalf of public school students and school librarians. They're challenging the constitutionality of the state's book banning law and a memo outlining the state's content censorship policy. bookriot.com/aclu-sc-laws...

Folks looking to talk about Banned Books and activism around protecting public institutions of democracy may want to join this chat tomorrow. Going to gently insert that a state-level school librarian association did what we need to see more of: SUED over book bans. bookriot.com/aclu-sc-laws...

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

Do judges like it when you make them do court at 7pm on a Sunday

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein blocked SC from giving DOJ voter data. Last week Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ condemned Goodstein's ruling. Yesterday Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists requiring force." Today Judge Goodstein's home is on fire, investigated for arson.

The Supreme Court begins its new term next week. The coming months will test what's left of its credibility. bit.ly/4757OJq

Being my husband’s previous employer, I personally know all named in this suit. The football team isn’t the only thing in that building that’s been run poorly for years. It comes down to ownership and culture.

Groups gather outside SC State House as hearing continues on abortion bill #scnews

At the South Carolina Statehouse, hundreds gathered to protest or testify for a Senate Bill that creates new definitions for human life, contraception and makes abortion a felony.

Good morning, #scpol. Who is ready to fight today?

My maternity leave ends in the morning. I’m currently snuggling my 6-week old in a hotel room in Columbia because I get to spend my first day back at work at an abortion hearing, like I’ve sat through more times than I can count at this point. We’ll never stop fighting.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams ends his reelection campaign.

Local authorities said there was a shooting Sunday morning at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, which is now “actively on fire.”

Always a great sign when your captors are writing numbers on your arms.

This is so bad and so stupid and so fucked up www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

The Roberts Court is a threat, not a guardrail. Let’s act (and plan) accordingly.

Former South Carolina Rep. RJ May has agreed to plead guilty on Monday to five counts of distributing child sexual abuse material, according to court filings.

This was an ICE raid, in my town. Per eyes on the ground, they came in with 1 warrant “looking for one or two people,” and left with 10. Our community has been in stitches since. They thought it wouldn’t happen here. We’re in the FO half of “FAFO”.

UPDATE: Five people have been arrested by SLED and booked into the Beaufort County Jail today. WTOC is still working to confirm officially whether or not these arrests are connected to the ICE operation in Beaufort County earlier today.

Jim Comey’s response to the indictment.

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot. Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.
