Every warning we've issued in the past year will soon be coming true and hitting Americans regardless of party affiliation or voting history. Your vote does matter. So does sitting out elections at all levels.

Happy New Year South Carolina! This year we elect a new Governor and begin the process of building a #NewSC. I hope this year is everything you prayed for and more. Lets do this together!

If you told me back in medical school that someday I would be running for the Senate and my campaign slogan would be “It’s me or the measles” I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT HAVE BELIEVED YOU. But here we are. It’s me or the measles. South Carolina, the choice is yours. 💙🇺🇸

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Charlotte Ross this past weekend. Charlotte was an active member of the Greenwood County Democratic Party and a supporter of Democratic candidates. Read about her life and the mark she left on the community. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

With Trump in power, Zelensky would be luck if he honored this "guarantee" for 15 minutes, let along 15 years. Have we not seen Trump break nearly every promise he has made? #Ukraine thehill.com/policy/inter...

SNAP cuts are not only going to impact the most needy among us. It will impact ALL of us. Here's why: #SNAP

Except for the billionaires, the other fifth are MAGA cultists who are lying. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

"...let’s focus on just two initiatives to make life safer and fairer for everyday South Carolinians. All it takes in the legislature is for elected officials to muster courage and listen to their hearts, not political nonsense and partisan politics." #SouthCarolina #SCPol

Blessings to you and your family this Christmas Day!

This is Trump's government in a nutshell - do nothing for the people unless it involves rounding up people based on the color of their skin or cramming legislation into a woman's uterus. But as for doing anything actually useful? No, that's not the MAGA way. www.thestate.com/news/local/e...

Lindsey Graham’s office was looking a little empty, so I decided to leave a stocking stuffer he won't forget. The gift of a better choice: Kyle Freeman. #SCPol #NewYearNewSenator

Thank you to City Council for joining municipalities and counties across the state for doing what the State Legislature refuses to do. And a special congrats to Dr. Jumelle Brooks for making "good trouble" and speaking to City Council THREE times to bring this issue to their attention! #HateCrimes

All brought to you by... Republicans! "Overall, the average annual out-of-pocket premium payment for people receiving the enhanced subsidies will more than double after they expire, jumping from $888 to about $1,904, according to KFF." #Healthcare #HealthInsurance

“Being an immigrant right now is terror layered on exhaustion.”Sylvia’s voice is a plea and a warning: white people, we need you. Not just to care, but to act, to speak, to take the hits so immigrants don’t have to do this alone.

Why would China need to mediate a war that Trump already solved? 🤔 Give back that soccer peace prize!

Sen Billy Garrett stated last week that Medicare and Medicaid should be eliminated and that everyone utilize private insurance instead. Spoken like a person who hasn't noticed the spike in insurance premiums recently. How out of touch! #HealthInsurance #Insurancepremiums #GreenwoodSC #SouthCarolina

Last night, while addressing a virtual community group I was called a racial slur. Messages like these are an all too common reality for black people everywhere. It makes me sick to think this much hatred could be hiding amongst us...

The Trump administration is punishing the American Academy of Pediatrics. I have enough thoughts about this for an entire feature length documentary but here are two minutes of them. (Spoiler alert: you can’t fight bad politics by staying apolitical.)

If there were ever one thing we agreed with Senator Lindsey Graham on, it was support for Dreamers. But then the other flip-flop dropped. #Dreamers #Immigration #LindseyGraham

1️⃣ Sen Billy Garrett thinks Medicaid and Medicare should be done away with and everyone move to private insurance. Yet we've all seen our insurance costs with employers rise this year. #ACA #HealthInsurance

"Health insurance premiums in the U.S. significantly increased between 1999 and 2024, outpacing the rate of worker earnings by three times, according to our newly published research in the journal JAMA Network Open." We need more than "concepts of a plan"! www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

#TrumpTariffs #tariffs #higherpices #Affordability

1️⃣ “The Democrat proposal... is an attempt to disguise the real impact of Obamacare’s spiraling health care costs,” said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the majority leader. “If we extend this three years at a cost of $83 billion to the taxpayers, what happens after three years?”

But Fox News said...

1️⃣ You might've seen this in your newsfeed - but don't scroll past it too fast! It's another in a growing pile of surprising Democratic wins in areas that Trump won by large margins in 2024.

The Republican supermajority loves to brag about all the people moving into South Carolina. That their oppressive policies which hurt the poor are attracting people from all over. What they won't tell you? #SouthCarolina #SCPol #moving #population

We all have a choice. And that include those who are caught up in the dehumanizing policies of President Trump. Video courtesy of Women's March. #ICE #immigrants #humanity #turnback

1️⃣ President Trump thinks you're making it up and bellyaching about higher prices just to make him look bad. www.detroitnews.com/story/busine...

A Republican woman asked Trump why grocery prices are still sky-high after he promised they’d drop — and he blew up at her. Instead of answers, she got rage. Families can’t afford food, and Trump can’t handle the truth. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

Does this legislative gathering reflect the diversity of Greenwood and surrounding counties? Who is ready of representation for and OF the people? (photo credit to the Index Journal, Fri Nov 28)

Make sure to take some time to understand what happened Tuesday night! === The narrow margin gave Democrats cause to celebrate as they fight to retake the House next year. And it spelled trouble for Speaker Mike Johnson’s efforts to retain his slim majority: 🧵

People are realizing that winning elections based on an ideology of censorship, book banning, whitewashing history, and fearmongering doesn't equate to an ability to govern.

$1.6B in fraud against the American people. Spent only a few days in prison out of a years he was sentenced to serve. Does crime mean anything anymore to Republicans?

Former GWCDP Chair Bill Kimler introduces Cynthia Halpin Brown, the primary organizer of several rallies here in Greenwood! #SouthCarolina #SCPol #SCDems #SCDemocrats #GreenwoodSC #NoKings

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

Just pure evil. This isn't immigration enforcement. It's a purge, pure and simple. One that hearkens back decades to similar authoritarian regimes who enacted similar policies that eventually led to pogroms. 🧵 www.ndtv.com/world-news/g...

If this reporting is true, this is HUGE! The last major prediction that Republicans would break en masse to vote to release the Epstein files proved to be true. May this predication here prove likewise to be true! #MikeJohnson #MTG #Trump #GOP

This is what the Senate Democrats are fighting for! This is what the Republicans call a "Clean Bill" - certain death for thousands of Americans. THIS IS NO GAME! #healthcare #healthinsurance #obamacare

See the results for your own community. Here in Greenwood, this is what Rep Sheri Biggs has delivered to us. #SouthCarolina #GreenwoodSC #Healthcare #HealthInsurance #InsurancePremiums #CantAffordIt democrats-budget.house.gov/legislation/...

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07. If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

Chair Allen Moore announces Valerie Dansby as the 2025 recipient of the Wanda Moore Community Service award! #GreenwoodSC #CommunityService #Recognition

1️⃣ "MAGA-adherents read the Declaration and the Constitution’s Preamble as championing self-interest and the right to do whatever one wishes. Isn’t that what liberty is all about? MAGA adherents always talk about their rights... They see no responsibility towards others."

EXACTLY!!!

You will recognize some lovely faces of GWCDP volunteers who assisted Avery Roman, Marandy Woolridge and others for the annual Thanksgiving Meal distribution at The Hut on Tuesday. They work hard every year to solicit donations and they spend days cooking and prepping to give back to the community.
