Republicans shut down the government, and their plan will make YOU pay more for healthcare. Nancy Mace, Joe Wilson, Sheri Biggs, Williams Timmons, Ralph Norman, Russell Fry: this is on you. South Carolinians deserve better. #SCPol #SCDems

A Statement From The Chair On Donald Trump and South Carolina Republicans Forcing a Government Shutdown

South Carolinians are standing together at the State House today to say NO to Senate Bill 323, the most extreme abortion ban in the country. We will not let our rights be stripped away. #StopSB323 #SCPol

Trump and Republicans Shut Down the Government, Throwing South Carolinians Into Chaos

Well some of that $110 million helped flip a number of SC state legislative seats and elect black sheriffs, several in counties that did so for the first time since reconstruction. I know because I was a part of the team that used some of that money down ballot in South Carolina.

A Statement From The Chair On Trump’s Tariffs and Republican Silence

We can do better, working together. I'll be kicking off my town hall listening series next Thursday, April 17 at 7:00 PM at the Summerton Cultural Arts Center in Summerton, South Carolina. I want to hear from you. Join me.

South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain's Statement on David Pascoe’s​ Party Switch​​

I'm asking the questions we all want answers to. At 9:37 AM, Trump told his followers to buy stocks. The market was tanking. The Trade Rep was set to defend harmful tariffs.Mid-hearing—Trump flips. No warning. Not even to his top trade official. This isn’t leadership. It’s chaos.

If they planned this from the start like they now claim—it’s not leadership. It’s market manipulation. Telling your followers to buy low, flipping trade policy mid-hearing, then the market soars? That’s not a coincidence. It’s profit-by-chaos. What else could it be?

I’m holding a constituent townhall in New Jersey. Tune in live.

Great attendance this morning for our first 2025 County Chair’s session. A big shout out to all of these leaders who stepped up to volunteer to lead their county party. 🙏🏿 #ittakesavillage

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

A record worth breaking! Senator @CoryBooker is just a few hours away from surpassing SC Senator Strom Thurmond’s 24hr and 18mins filibuster against the 1957 Civil Rights Act. #standwithbooker and #Holdthefloor

SC Rep. John King pulled no punches: while MAGA extremists attack DEI as some radical left agenda, benefiting Black people, he reminded them of the truth they’ve long ignored. The biggest group benefiting from DEI? White women. He said the quiet part out loud, and it hit a nerve. #SCPolitics

Victims of sex trafficking should NEVER be treated like criminals. Yet GOP Senator Shane Massey tabled an amendment to a bill that would protect them—because he didn’t get his way. Holding survivors hostage for politics? Shameful.

Last night voters in a Republican district in rural South Carolina chose a Democratic Farmer over MAGA!! #stayfocused

Take a listen to @christalespain.bsky.social below. Then call your reps and senators. Demand a PUBLIC town hall - Not a cozy fundraising event with their donors, a PUBLIC town hall.

Women make up 51.4% of SC's population, outvote men, and are the majority of the electorate—yet they hold just 2 of 46 seats in the Senate & 20 of 124 in the House. The numbers don’t lie: SC has a representation crisis. #SCPol #WomenInPolitics

Senator Lindsey Graham refuses to meet with his constituents, saying he doesn’t need a town hall to know what to do. Does he work for the people of South Carolina or for Trump? 🧐 #SCPol #Accountability

Statement from Chairwoman Christale Spain on the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday

We're proud to welcome the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament to the Palmetto State. Wishing Coach Dawn Staley & the Gamecocks the best as they chase another championship! Let’s show why SC is home to champions. #SECWBB #GoGamecocks

Trump’s first month in office has been a failure: ✅Inflation expectations rising ✅Threatening Medicaid ✅Elevated dangerous extremists to the highest levels of government ✅Closed Head Start programs with reckless funding freezes ✅Weakened government's response to deadly diseases

Both hearings today, the people have SHOWN UP. We are pissed off snd paying attention.

Join me on The State of the People is a 24-hour livestream where we will center the truth. Instead of letting disinformation go unchecked, we are creating a space where the people, their struggles and solutions founded on truth and action are demanded.

Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Trump and Musk are directing the Social Security Administration to cut half its workforce. These are people who answer your calls when you need help and ensure you get the benefits you spent a lifetime earning. All this just to cut spending to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

Trump and Elon Musk have wiped out the national database of police misconduct. Nearly 150,000 records of misconduct by federal officers erased, like it never happened.
