Dawn lost her 3 youngest children. Katie lost her brother & 2 sisters—killed by a drunk driver coming home from a basketball game. Today big insurers tried to cap what families like theirs can recover. Dawn & Katie spoke out & helped stop the legislation. #LaLege #LaGov

Ben Sasse: "What’s really happening is these superdevices in our pockets — the largest tools any median individual’s ever had access to in all of human history — allow our consciousness to leave the time and place where we actually live, the places where we break bread, the people who are living next door to us, the people that you can physically touch and hug, the small platoons of real community, and we allow our consciousness to go really far away"

An hour after announcing his resignation, the US Army Chief of Staff says: "A madman is about to lead the great US military to ruin."

One of the greatest cheat codes in life is assuming everything is happening in your favor.

Good DUI attorneys always recommend: 1) Refuse all voluntary field sobriety tests 2) Immediately call POTUS from your cell phone

Big Tech when asked to prioritize kids' safety over profits.

And why not? Let’s do this! Let’s take care of the American people!!

Good lawyers know the law, great lawyers know exactly when they need to take a vacation so they don’t burn out.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire. It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs. Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ? Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us. Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

Same driver. Same car. Same road. Completely different price.
 In South Carolina, drivers with poor credit can pay thousands more for car insurance—sometimes nearly 6 times as much. That’s not about safety. That’s about credit scoring. South Carolina drivers deserve fair rates based on how they drive, not what’s on their credit report. Tell your legislators, “Driving Score, Not Credit Score!” #ReformInsuranceNow #SCDrivers #InsuranceFairness

Every law school in the country should have a course on the business of law. Most don't. Then everyone acts surprised when smart people graduate and have no idea how to run a practice or make a dollar.

@KyleTuckerCBB @NancyMace Greenville is a legitimately great city. The Carolina Piedmont is hard to beat, and Greenville is its best-kept secret. Spartanburg is also a truly great place.

I had no idea: Greenville, S.C., is an awesome city. Legit really cool downtown district. Great restaurants and good vibes. I feel like this is the best kept secret on the East Coast?

Safer roads for South Carolinians! In 2023 alone, South Carolina saw 78 fatal truck crashes claiming 87 lives which accounted for nearly 9% of all roadway deaths. While the trucking industry pushes for liability protections that shield Big Corporations and carriers, SC families and small businesses want strong safety standards, qualified drivers, and real accountability. Safe roads. Fair rules. Protected families. Join Reform Insurance Now SC to drive change. #SCFirst #ReformInsuranceNow

If we’re Making America Healthy Again, government shouldn't be promoting glyphosate and providing liability immunity for corporations making it. Thank you to @RepCohen for cosponsoring the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act.

Unreal! This family had to borrow $22,000 against their home to replace a roof after their insurance company refused to pay. Insurance companies delay and deny while lobbying lawmakers for more power. South Carolinians deserve better. If something similar is happening to you, don't stay silent. Follow us.

Thomas Massie just declared: “This government is under siege.” And he exposed Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi for taking “millions of dollars from Bayer.” “All three branches of this government are under siege by lobbyists and lawyers from a German company named Bayer.” “They spent over $9 million lobbying … so that they don’t have to be liable for any damages their herbicide Roundup causes.” “The Constitution guarantees people a trial if they’ve been harmed.” “Why are we contemplating going against the Constitution?” “The Attorney General has opined favorably for this German company in front of the Supreme Court about getting rid of any liability that they should have for any damages.” “By the way, the President’s Chief of Staff and the President’s Attorney General worked for one of the biggest lobbying firms that’s received millions of dollars from Bayer.” “Maybe that’s why we’ve seen an executive order that says that the production of this chemical from this German company is a national defense priority.” “And we know why they’re doing that.” “It’s to keep them from having any liability.” “This is wrong.” “We shouldn’t succumb to the lobbyists, not in the executive branch, not in the judicial branch, and certainly not here in Congress.”

South Carolina lawmakers promised relief with so-called "tort reform" but bar owners said it did the opposite. Christopher Smith, Executive Director of the South Carolina Bar and Tavern Association, said it’s not a guarantee that businesses will actually receive these reductions because of a “disconnect between the Department of Insurance, the bill that passed, and the insurance companies.” He described multiple scenarios where bar owners went to their insurance company for renewals and to let them know they qualify for a risk-mitigation reduction — just to be denied. “People are saying, ‘I went to my insurance company and said, I’ve done X, Y, and Z as far as these mitigating factors’. And the insurance companies are basically telling them, ‘We don’t have to follow that, that’s not our policy, that’s state policy,'” Smith recounted. “Unfortunately, these are [the insurance companies] policies. They’re not changing their policy just for the state of South Carolina, these are the policies they issue throughout the country.” Read the full story below.

We’ve seen this playbook before — DC rushing into conflict while working families and young service members abroad pay the price. Gas prices are skyrocketing. 7 US troops are already dead. Americans want lower costs & no more forever wars — Trump is doing the opposite.
