Lindsey Graham's sister, Darline Graham Nordon, will temporarily fill the South Carolina Senate seat following the senator's sudden death at 71.
Darline is expected to serve until the remainder of Lindsey Graham's term is completed under South Carolina law.
The appointment comes as tributes continue pouring in for the longtime Republican senator, who served South Carolina in the U.S. Senate for more than two decades, @BillMelugin_ reports.

@TrumpsHurricane Wasn’t really planning on attending any. Thanks for clarifying. Your post will help remind me to not send God’s gifts to satan’s team.

@MELANIATRUMP What do you support? Their Sodomy, Trans grooming, homosexual grooming of children, their deviancy, their repulsive behavior, their hatred of Christianity? You apparently don’t read the Bible and are confused with right and wrong.
You stay away from my kids and their schools.

“As many of you may know, I fully support the LGBTQIA+ community. But we must also ensure that our female athletes are protected and respected." - MELANIA, #1 NYT Bestseller, (p. 156)
The U.S. Supreme Court has now legally confirmed this opinion:
“Under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, may schools maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females? ... The answer is yes.”
America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls' sports fair.
Both ideals are essential.

More recorded evidence of two-tier policing this weekend in "Modern Britain".
Watch how aggressive police are against this group of young white girls.

@Zeba1980 @marthamaccallum Martha didn't bring up Collins' June 4 vote against the SAVE act. It WAS a mamby pamby interview. Martha was a fav of mine. No more.

@marthamaccallum BE SURE TO GRILL HER ON THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!
No mamby bamby shit!!!

@marthamaccallum On June 4 Susan Collins voted against the SAVE Act. You didn't ask her about that. Are you both for voter fraud? I stopped recording your show, AND I am boycotting your advertisers.
English
@marthamaccallum Collins joined Dems June 4 opposing adding the #SAVEAct to the broader immigration reconciliation package. And YOU didn't challenge her on that! Were you told to not ask that question? I'm no longer recording you and I'm boycotting your advertisers. Shame on you @FoxNews

The President has put our country first and negotiated a peace deal that will keep us safe and prevent Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon.
From the very beginning, @POTUS maximized our leverage, limited casualties, and brought credible military force to ensure the best possible outcome.
This is one hell of a way to celebrate a birthday. Congratulations, Mr. President.

My thoughts on Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire.
English
@simonateba @elonmusk Elon's 4,400 employees became millionaires today, including welders and cafeteria workers. I'm teary eyed with joy and proud to be an American!

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day. 400 of them are now worth over $100 million. These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries. Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000. Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous." The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before. Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Be brutally honest: Are you deeply outraged that, while hundreds of millions of Americans and I are struggling financially, @elonmusk has just now become the world's first trillionaire, with more wealth than he could spend in 1,000 lifetimes? Yes or no?
English
@Hetty2 @simonateba @elonmusk How dare he come to America and create 1000s of jobs and livelihoods instead of breaking in illegally collecting free government handouts. The nerve of him…
English
@simonateba @elonmusk He should be stripped of his government contracts and deported back to South Africa with that father of his. They are both white nationalist and dangerous to democracies everywhere. 🤬
English
@simonateba @elonmusk You’re just outraged he’s created hundreds of thousands of jobs and wealth for his employees and supplier network instead of government bloat.

@annie_j04 @LeaderJohnThune @SenateGOP @SenTomCotton @SenJohnBarrasso @SenCapito @SenatorLankford @SenMikeLee @SenRickScott Exactly. Your legislative priorities are NOT aligned with the America. Back Trump on Tarrifs, voter integrity, rights for the unborn, protections for women and girls from trans activists
English
@LeaderJohnThune @SenateGOP YOU are risking Americas 🇺🇸 future by not passing the SAVE America Act.
If we are living under Communism, FISA Section 702 will be MOOT and the least of our concerns.
@SenTomCotton @SenJohnBarrasso @SenCapito @SenatorLankford
@SenMikeLee @SenRickScott
English
Senate Democrats have decided yet again to play political games with our national security. FISA Section 702 expires at midnight on Friday.
They are risking American lives if this program goes dark. It’s that straightforward.

@mariashriver I’m understanding Arnold’s viewpoint quite a bit better …
Welker was ranting, lying, scowling, aggressive. I wouldn’t put up with that either.
English
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

@lisamurkowski Alaskan Men, this hysterical nut job is not your friend
English
While I support funding to secure our borders and protect the homeland, I do not support bypassing the annual appropriations process by providing funding for multiple years in a manner that diminishes both congressional direction and oversight.
By choosing to appropriate funding for three fiscal years instead of one, this measure weakens the normal budgeting process and sets another precedent for avoiding it when we find ourselves in disagreement. In doing so, it reduces Congress’ ability to apply reasonable checks on immigration policy for the remainder of this administration and into the next.
Had this measure provided immigration funding for one year, included clear restrictions on what those funds can be used for, and eliminated any potential for taxpayer dollars to be allocated to the administration’s brazen ‘anti-weaponization’ fund, I likely would have voted for it. The final bill fell short on all of those fronts, so I opposed it.

@NKromchenk4068 @elonmusk If you don’t have an ID, you’re probably too dumb, and too incompetent and shouldn’t be voting.
English
@elonmusk Why can’t Save America Act have a regular ID requirement, instead of, over-complicated procedure that makes it much harder for women & everyone who’s changed name to vote (majority is women)? What Republicans have against women’s voting right, why do they want to suppress it?
English
@elonmusk Vote out every last child raping, baby-eating, tax money stealing, lying REPUBLICAN.

@JessicaTarlov Why do Dems keep promoting the most unqualified, most incompetent, most hysterical, no job/business experience and most toxic candidates.
Biden, Kamala, Tampon Tim, Platner, Swalwell, AOC, Ilan, Rashida, Crocket, Gavin -self ascribed ‘Dumbest’.
English
Democrats are making something clear: if concerns about a candidate are legitimate, they should be addressed. But we are not going to be lectured by the party of Donald Trump, Ken Paxton, or other Republicans who have been accused of things like putting boiling water on their wives during a fight.
Dismissing the allegations against Platner is a mistake. But the NYT left the door wide open to the argument that Platner’s ex girlfriend is politically motivated. Heritage Foundation, Independent Women, Ladies for Kavanaugh.
Ultimately, what we think in NYC and DC doesn’t matter. Maine voters aren’t terminally online. They like his platform - it may be enough!
