For @LindseyGrahamSC, life has been defined by sacrifice & service to others. After losing both of his parents, he stepped up to care for his family & serve his country. In contrast, Mark Lynch's criminal record, lies, & allegiance to never-Trumpers raise serious questions.

Life update. I hope you enjoy your journey as much as I have enjoyed mine, especially the past 21 years with @GamecocksOnline and @GamecockFB.

I’ve known and been friends with @AGAlanWilson since before he first ran for office. He is an exceptional public servant—and an even better man, father, and husband. His leadership, integrity, and experience will make him one of the best #Governors South Carolina has ever had. He has my full support, and I encourage you to join me in voting for Alan Wilson on June 9 in any runoff and again in November. #TeamWilson #AlanWilson #SCGov #SouthCarolina @SCGOP @SC5GOP @RHHerald @thestate @PCColumbia #news @AP @wis10

I’m here today because of the people who stood by me when it mattered most. Their support is why I continue to serve and why I’ll never stop fighting for South Carolina.

America’s founders believed deeply in the separation of powers. The legislature writes the laws. The executive enforces them. The judiciary interprets them. Each branch has its role, and each branch serves as a check on the others. South Carolina’s current system for selecting judges blurs those lines in ways that should concern anyone who cares about the integrity of the courts or their own freedoms. South Carolina remains one of only two states where the legislature effectively controls the judicial selection process from beginning to end. The General Assembly appoints the members of the Judicial Merit Selection Commission. That commission screens judicial candidates. The legislature then elects the judges. When one branch of government controls each step of that process, the result is an extraordinary concentration of authority in one place. Many legislators serve with integrity and take their responsibilities seriously. But structure matters. Systems should be designed to avoid conflicts of interest and preserve public confidence. In South Carolina, lawyer-legislators routinely appear in court before judges who were screened and elected through a process the legislature controls. Even if everyone involved acts honorably, that arrangement raises understandable questions for the public. Justice must not only be fair. It must also be seen to be fair. That is why judicial reform has become an important conversation in our state. The legislation currently under consideration would move South Carolina toward a system that more closely resembles the constitutional balance of power envisioned by our founders. Under the proposal, the governor would appoint the members of the Judicial Merit Selection Commission. The commission would continue to vet candidates and evaluate their qualifications. The General Assembly would still elect judges. But the legislature would no longer control the entire process. Authority would be distributed rather than concentrated. That is not a radical idea. In fact, it would bring South Carolina closer to the model used by most states in the country. Some have argued that we should pause and see how recently enacted changes to the judicial screening process perform before pursuing additional reforms. But we were given a real-world reminder of the system’s weaknesses in just the last couple weeks. The former Speaker of the South Carolina House nearly secured a seat on the South Carolina Supreme Court despite having very little experience as a judge. Regardless of anyone’s view of the individuals involved, that episode highlighted a broader structural problem. When legislative relationships and internal politics become central to judicial selection, the system begins to look less like a search for the best legal minds and more like an extension of the political process. That is not healthy for the judiciary and it is not healthy for public trust. The goal of reform is not to malign those who serve under the current system. It is to strengthen the system itself. Institutions endure when they are willing to improve. At its core, judicial reform is about humility. It is about recognizing that no branch of government should accumulate too much authority over time. It is about remembering that the purpose of constitutional design is to prevent power from becoming too comfortable in any one place and threatening the freedoms of citizens. The Senate now has an opportunity to continue the work the House has already begun. Many Senators understand the importance of this issue and support moving the bill forward. Yet, like many conservative reforms over the years, the legislation is currently stuck in committee. Committees are meant to study and refine legislation, not quietly bury it, especially when taxpayers are crying out for action. Judicial reform deserves to be debated openly on the Senate floor. South Carolina has an opportunity to strengthen one of its most important institutions. The courts function best when they are independent of political influence and when the public can trust that independence. Reforming the judicial selection process will not solve every problem overnight. But it will move us toward a system that better reflects the principles of separation of powers, judicial independence, and public accountability. That goal is worthy of bipartisan support and serious consideration.

Today, I officially filed for re-election as South Carolina’s Superintendent of Education! 🍎 When I first ran for this office, I promised to focus on the fundamentals: serving students, supporting teachers, and empowering parents. Together, we’ve delivered real results.
 Teacher pay is up. Reading scores are rising. Classrooms are regaining focus. And parents once again have a voice in their children’s education. South Carolina education is on the rise - but our work isn’t finished. I’m running for re-election to keep raising standards, expanding opportunity, and ensuring every child in South Carolina has the chance to succeed. Promises made. Promises kept. Now let’s keep the momentum going! 📚🇺🇸

South Carolina House votes 71-49 to concur with the Senate change to the income tax legislation, sending the bill to Gov. Henry McMaster, who is expected to sign it.

My father passed away today resting peacefully at home. I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers over the last couple months! He was successful, but more important he was Significant.

South Carolina lost a football legend today. Coach Lou Holtz helped restore pride in Gamecock football and inspired a generation of players and fans across our state. His leadership on and off the field left a lasting mark on South Carolina. Rest in peace, Coach.

The rhetoric around the Iran operation is reckless and confusing. Instead of clarity, we’re getting political posturing. The War Powers Act of 1973 is clear on presidential authority and congressional notification. Have they read it? And let’s be honest — does anyone truly believe a nuclear-armed Iran makes America or the world safer? This isn’t about party. It’s about national security and standing behind American interests. Right now, the messaging is weak — and weakness invites problem

MTG on Trump: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for six years for. And I gave him my loyalty for free. Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves."
