And the South Carolina Senate for the first time in I don't know how long has hit a midnight session.


No doubt. @DNolan2000 is one of the brightest people we know and has one of the brightest futures of anyone in South Carolina politics ahead of him. His contributions to @FITSNews have been hugely impactful, and we are tremendously saddened to see him go. Wishing him the best!

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

The betting odds for Rom Reddy's daughter becoming governor someday are favorable.

Clyburn shares that when the family was deliberating about whether he should run again, his three daughters voted 2-1, with two voting for him to run again and one saying he should not. #scpol
