**Yes, Senator Stephen Goldfinch (R-District 34) voted in favor of the resolution** that would have allowed the SC Senate to reconvene for mid-decade congressional redistricting. The measure needed a 2/3 majority but fell short (29-17). Five Republicans joined Democrats in voting no: Massey, Bennett, Campsen, David, and Hembree. Goldfinch was not among them. This was the recent push tied to efforts to redraw maps ahead of the 2026 elections.

@grok @DarlPattison @EricLDaugh @grok I believe @ScSenGoldfinch voted yes on redistricting?

The other Republicans running in the SC Attorney General primary (June 9, 2026) are: - State Sen. Stephen Goldfinch (34th District) - Solicitor David Stumbo (8th Judicial Circuit) David Pascoe (1st Judicial Circuit Solicitor) is the third candidate. It's a three-way Republican primary with no Democrats on the ballot yet.

🚨 NOW: President Trump just went full RINO WAR MODE, calling on South Carolina voters to DEFEAT David Pascoe for state Attorney General STORM THE POLLS, MAGA! "There’s this RINO Candidate in the Palmetto State named David Pascoe, a lifelong Democrat who previously endorsed Crooked Joe Biden for President, and served as a Biden Co-Chair in South Carolina, who is running in the Republican Primary to be your next Attorney General — Pascoe is a total fraud and phony, and is no friend of our incredible Movement to, MAKE SOUTH CAROLINA, AND AMERICA, GREAT AGAIN!" "To our amazing South Carolina MAGA Patriots: Please make sure to get out and vote AGAINST “RINO” David Pascoe in the June Republican Primary for Attorney General, and make sure he never holds Elected Office again. THANK YOU SOUTH CAROLINA — MAGA2026!"

@DataRepublican @MikaColavita @LeaderJohnThune @SenateGOP He’s a garbage leader. He needs to go!

Hello Senator Thune, I'm replying to your post from yesterday: "Despite Democrats' partisan games, we're still going to get the entire federal government funded." Today, you sent the Senate home... not because of Democrats. Because of you. Here's what actually happened. On May 18, the DOJ announced an Anti-Weaponization Fund: $1.776 billion to compensate Americans harmed by Biden-era DOJ abuse. Your own caucus revolted. After a two-hour closed-door meeting, you departed for Memorial Day recess without a vote. ICE and CBP funding, punted to June 1. The "partisan games," it turns out, were yours. Your stated objections: no congressional authorization, no eligibility standards, no legal precedent, executive overreach. Fine. But let's talk about November 2025, when you tucked a provision into the government funding bill. The FBI had quietly seized phone records from eight Republican senators without notice, under an investigation codenamed "Arctic Frost." Your provision gave those senators, and only those senators, $500,000 per violation, retroactive to 2022. The House voted 426-0 to repeal it. The critics weren't opposed to compensating victims of DOJ abuse. They were opposed to senators compensating themselves while doing no other structural reforms. Lindsey Graham held the Senate hostage to preserve it. He delayed a spending deal in January 2026 to secure a floor vote on his revised version. Let's put the two columns next to each other: ➤ DOJ abused senators: $500K/violation payout, senators only, no hearings, no process, no eligibility debate, no floor vote on substance. ➤ DOJ abused Americans: "very legitimate questions," two-hour meeting, Senate goes home, reconciliation punted, June 1 deadline in jeopardy. You told Punchbowl News you "did not personally see a need for this fund." You personally saw a need for the fund when the targets were you. Go cry harder to your Punchbowl friends @JakeSherman and @AndrewDesiderio, because at this rate, they'll soon become the only people who are buying what you're selling.

Despite Democrats’ partisan games, we’re still going to get the entire federal government funded. @SenateGOP is going to ensure our immigration laws are enforced, and criminal illegal aliens are not allowed to live freely in our country.

@EricLDaugh @LeaderJohnThune plays nerf ball.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is now calling for GOP Senators to get STRIPPED of their Committee Chair assignments if they oppose nuking the zombie filibuster or would vote for Democrat amendments on the floor "YOU GOT TO PLAY HARDBALL!" 🔥 "We've got several people that are not going to vote for filibuster, or they probably vote for some of the Democrat amendments. You say, listen, you do that. You're out as chairman of a committee. You're out. Immediately out." "We're going to put somebody else in. Because that's the reason people stay here is to have power. But we do it because of seniority!" "We don't do it because of merit. We don't have the best people in some of these chairmanship. So we've got to do the right thing." "It starts at leadership. We're going to go in. I'm going to listen to it. And if we don't make changes, we go and try to beg people to do things. It doesn't work. Put their feet to the fire. Let's go to work and let's work with President Trump!" h/t @Bannons_WarRoom @CoachForGov

@EWErickson So we should keep senators that think they are so entitled to power they throw tantrums like 6 year olds? GTFOH

Trump's Senate endorsements are bearing fruit now.

@MAGAMichelleS69 @LeaderJohnThune @JohnCornyn Thune is a pussy whether Cornyn wins or loses. It’s who he is.

So, maybe when @LeaderJohnThune watches his BFF @JohnCornyn lose his seat on Tuesday, that will force him to pass the Save America Act.

@tedlieu @DAGToddBlanche Why does California send the most corrupt morons to DC?

Even Senate Republicans can’t stomach the nearly $1.8 billion slush fund for criminals created by Todd Blanche. Mark my words, @DAGToddBlanche will lose his law license. November is coming.

@ChrisCillizza They went from useless to more useless.

Former Mitch McConnell chief of staff here

@CaptainCupies @JohnCornyn Shit there’s way more than that. We still have a ton of work to do.

@JohnCornyn I too have good news. You’re up next!

Some good news about the Senate runoff election

@Ike_Saul So the useless senate got more useless? We are playing the long game.

One understated reality of what Trump has done: He basically just nuked his Senate majority for the next six months. Rs have a 53-47 hold on the Senate. - Sen. Tillis is retiring and already acting like an independent. - Sen. Cassidy now has no reason to play ball. - Sens. Murkowski and Collins have long been willing to break with POTUS. - Sen. Cornyn will have to navigate the runoff, but win or lose next Tuesday he comes out of that doing whatever he wants. All the sudden, a 53-47 Senate majority is a 48-47 majority with five live swing votes.

@EricLDaugh Oh but he gets a fund if he’s accused of sexual assault?

🚨 UPDATE: Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is moving to BLOCK President Trump’s $1.8B anti-weaponization fund for those WRONGLY targeted by the DOJ GOOD RIDDANCE to this fake “Republican” who is RETIRING! “I think it’s stupid on stilts…Taxpayer dollars will compensate someone who assaulted a police officer, got convicted…and now we’re going to pay him for that? This is absurd!” Tillis is a bad faith RINO. He can’t be gone soon enough from office.

@JohnCornyn Dropping out and backing Paxton would do wonders for your legacy. Or you can be a little tantrum toddler and that can be your legacy. I imagine with your ego it will be the latter.

We are going to continue to tell the truth about Paxton. He’s escaped accountability for too long. Judgment day is coming.

@Pro__Trading This will pull from the left. Jew hatred is on the left not the right. We proved that by crushing Massie. All the river to the sea people are leftist.

Tucker Carlson is saying the quiet part out loud They are planning on running Thomas Massie in 2028 as an INDEPENDENT with Tucker potentially as his running mate. They are hoping he will get just enough votes to throw the election in favor of Kamala Harris or AOC. Tucker, Massie and MTG have gone completely deranged with jew hatred. They are willing to burn down the country for revenge.

@TMSTRS_ @NYCMayor I wouldn’t go watch soccer for free.

@NYCMayor Somehow MAGA is gonna find a way to hate on this Best mayor in generations, exactly the kind of leadership this city needs.

1,000 World Cup tickets. $50 each. All for New Yorkers. We fought hard to make the people’s game available to the people — and won. Let the summer of soccer begin.

@JessicaTarlov Take heart. She’s always wrong.

The MAGA victory lap on getting Massie out when they had to spend 35 million and won by 10 in a Trump 35 district seems misguided.  Trump has a 34% approval rating. He’s -18 with Independents and Democrats are up 11 for the midterms. Plus, he just endorsed Ken Paxton who is so bad even his own party impeached him.  Plus, Trump’s campaign platform boils down to I don’t care about your finances, I’m going to trade stocks and make billions, use your money to pay J6ers, and get immunity from an audit for me and my family in perpetuity.  I think Democrats can work with that.

@SenBillCassidy Grow up loser

People are concerned about paying their mortgage or rent, affording groceries and paying for gas, not about putting together a $1.8 billion fund for the President and his allies to pay whomever they wish with no legal precedent or accountability. This is adding to our national debt. If there needs to be a settlement, the administration should bring it to Congress to decide.

@JonnyRoot_ He was too stupid for ESPN.

“Bringing in James Harden to win a championship is like elected Donald Trump to fix your country” - Max Kellerman Funny how these lib sports media hacks throw shade at Trump, while ignoring how Biden was objectively the worst president of all time. Probably voted Harris too… (via Game Over Pod)

@Acyn The Ball Room isn’t even for Trump. I can’t believe why this is so controversial.

Cassidy on ballroom: There's no architectural plans. There is no environmentals. There's no engineering. There's no sense of when we ask, how did it happen to cost exactly a billion. I just don't get it.

@DrumrofTedworth @nicksortor I’d like to hear their reason. Republicans are having success but never underestimate their ability to shoot themselves in the foot. This was a layup.

🚨 JUST IN: The House has OVERWHELMINGLY passed a Trump-backed bill to RESTRICT companies like Blackrock from buying up single family homes LONG overdue! 🔥 It’ll now head to the Senate, then to POTUS’ desk 🇺🇸

@EricLDaugh @tmg25394112 Not sure what debt he thinks he has but he is a major real life hero 🇺🇸

🚨 AWESOME! SecWar Pete Hegseth just REENLISTED Joey Jones to the Marine Corps JONES: "I'm doing it because I have a debt left to give... It means the world to me to be here to finish the story that I started writing twenty-one years ago." PATRIOT. 🇺🇸👏🏻
