#Trump underperformed the polls again and had 40% of voters in a Republican primary vote against him. What is she even talking about? We don’t recall this same energy when #Biden won 96%+ of the vote in #SouthCarolina.

Kristen Welker wants you to know that Trump CRUSHED, TROUNCED, and DOMINATED Nikki Haley last night

As #Elections Loom, Congressional Maps Challenged as Discriminatory Will Remain in Place
==

With control of the House of Representatives hanging in the balance, the time-consuming appeals process means elections in multiple districts will take place using maps that have been challenged as discriminatory to #voters of color.

a few weeks ago the #MAGA harpie running the federal civil rights division at #DOJ (Harmeet Dhillon) called out a so-called "liberal judge" Diane Goodstein for ruling against the trump administration, after which that judge received all kinds of threats from MAGA chuds.

#StephenMiller also weighed in on Judge Goodstein's decision in typically calm and restrained fashion, basically calling her a defender of #terrorism.

that judge's house just burned to the ground and her husband is in the hospital.

coincidence?

(oh, and she also happens to be jewish, which isn't super popular with the MAGA chud voting bloc these days since half of them blame israel for the death of charlie kirk (yes really))

#SouthCarolina’s Republican governor, Henry McMaster, signed a bill on Tuesday that bars health professionals from performing gender-transition surgeries, prescribing puberty blocking drugs and overseeing hormone treatments for patients under 18. The state now joins about two dozen others that have passed laws restricting or banning what doctors call gender-affirming care for minors. (1/2)

My reason for moving: When Trump got in, I said to Mr. Laffy, "He'll now have the courts. We can't overcome a lot of that." This is what I was referring to:

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS upholds #SouthCarolina's congressional map, reversing a lower court decision that struck down the map for racial gerrymandering.

The Court also makes it harder to fight against future racial gerrymandering. https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/south-carolina-redistricting-challenge/

Ah, yes... a fresh stench of GOP control back where I used to live. 🤮 😠 Greenville County, #SouthCarolina stops all book fairs for all schools, since "It is not possible for school personnel to vet all book fair content after it arrives, nor can vendors provide accurate content information far enough in advance for it to be vetted through the District prior to the start of fall book fairs."

RESULT: Democrats easily defend a state House seat in #SouthCarolina in a special election tonight.

Keishan Scott, the 24-year old Dem nominee, won 71% to 29%, so by 42. (Harris had carried the district by 5% last fall; Biden won it by 15% in 2020.)

As a grad student at the College of Charleston, Lauren Davila found an ad for the auction of 600 enslaved people — the largest known slave auction in the U.S.

The discovery prompted a small group to spearhead the creation of a historical marker in downtown Charleston.

#SCOTUS upholds #SouthCarolina’s ban on #Medicaid funds for #PlannedParenthood

The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed SC to bar Planned Parenthood's access to federal Medicaid funding for NON-abortion services. The decision allows states to #ban the org from getting Medicaid reimbursements for #cancer screenings & other care not related to #abortion.

But sure let’s shut down the #EPA

4 #radioactive #wasp nests have been discovered at a #SouthCarolina #nuclear facility, according to federal ofcls.

The first nest, which was found by workers at the Savannah River Site early last month, was recently disclosed in a report from the Dept of #Energy, which owns the site. The facility, near Aiken, SC, produced material for nuclear weapons throughout the Cold War.

3 additional nests have since been discovered at the site.
