ngl I thought this was about to be a whole other type of video from that first frame 😭🤣🤣

This comes just after renaming the Department of DEFENSE to the Department of WAR.

It's disgusting that we have Republicans in South Carolina now pushing to put women in prison for having an abortion. This is not only an incredibly unjust and cruel treatment of women but a direct attack on basic human dignity. This proposed law would be one of the harshest in the nation. Women in this state deserve compassion, privacy, and basic respect. They shouldn't have to worry about being treated as criminals for making medical decisions. @SenDickMoney South Carolina is better than this! Our people are better than this! We can choose a future that trusts women instead of threatening them. apnews.com/article/abortion-…

It's good to know that the top priority of the President is a ballroom and not the millions of working families that are currently being affected by the government shutdown.

It’s not a “Schumer Shutdown” it’s a breakdown of priorities. The CR on the table would’ve cut SNAP and healthcare funding for South Carolina families. Keeping the government open doesn’t mean much if families can’t afford to eat.

The federal government shutdown isn’t just political theater. It’s hurting real people right here at home. Because of the shutdown, SNAP funding has been frozen. Thousands of South Carolina families, including many here in Sumter, may not receive their food assistance for November. SNAP isn’t a luxury. It’s how working families, seniors, and children put food on the table. The shutdown forced the USDA to pause the release of funds because of budget constraints, leaving many of our most vulnerable neighbors unsure of their next grocery trip. I’m calling on Congress to do its job, pass a responsible funding bill, and end this shutdown immediately! Politics should never come before people. Until then, let’s come together as a community. Support local food banks, donate if you can, and check in on families who might be struggling. Sumter takes care of its own, and we’ll keep doing just that! #GovernmentShutdown #SouthCarolina #SumterStrong @LindseyGrahamSC @SenatorTimScott @RepJamesClyburn wyff4.com/article/snap-benef…

Today, we find ourselves at a crossroad where we are no longer asked to go right or left but instead go right or wrong. The choices before us are not matters of politics, but of principle. Do we stand for truth when lies are easier? Do we defend the vulnerable when silence is safer? History will not care which party we belonged to, nor which office we held. It will ask only this: Did we act with honor? Did we place justice above self-interest? The world will remember our choices long after it forgets our titles.

JFK warned us that it wouldn’t take a day, it won’t take a thousand days. It most likely won’t happen while we are alive on this planet. But he asked to let us begin. I say LET US CONTINUE! We don’t do things because they are easy, we do them because they are hard. We must not allow failure to be seen as a wall that separates us from achieving great things but rungs on a ladder we must climb to reach for success.

Never forget the hands that have reached out to you when it's your turn to grab ahold of another's.

It is time that a new generation of patricians and politicians who are eager to bare the load and pull us back up to the mountain’s precipice step forward and speak clearly for if we do not carry the big stick, we will not go very far. We must call upon the determined yet unselfish who will work in the dedicated pursuit of happiness for every American under a nation that does not allow any form of tyranny to shake the base for which Lady Liberty shines her guiding light on.

I firmly believe that it has come time for the Democratic Party to begin diligently searching for whomever it will be to bare the torch that shall guide our nation through the turmoil that threatens the fabric of our republic's democracy. The illustration that the party once painted was a Picasso of love and joy, but, following the unacceptable behavior exhibited by Democratic majority leaders during the President’s State of the Union address, the very whisper of the party now creates a new image of maleficence and animosity. This tarnishing of the once respectful and reputable party is an abhorrent backhand to the millions of Americans who proudly vote blue every four Novembers and have poured their hearts into the Democrats' hands only to have it squashed in front of them.

We CANNOT continue to blame our allies for the problems that we have created, we must find a way to tear down the walls that seperate us rather than finding reasons to make them taller.
