    Had the opportunity to interview @PeteButtigieg today with my colleagues and asked him if I heard him right last night that one of his birthday wishes is to "get swole." "I immediately got a text from @Chas10Buttigieg saying, 'Never use the words 'get swole' in public again.'

    NEW: Three Black female veterans of SC Democratic Party politics are ripping a page out of Georgia's successful playbook, launching a new South Carolina-focused PAC (@4Hoperd) with goal of reengaging + registering more voters ahead of 2022.
    Hundreds marched toward the S.C. State House in Columbia Monday, Jan. 21, 2019, for the 19th annual King Day at the Dome rally, honoring the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
    Can Georgia’s 2020 election success work in SC? These Democrats are banking on it

    Visited Capitol Hill for the first time ever earlier this year and saw AOC and Gaetz sitting down in the House chamber and chatting and thought ah, it’s too bad most people do not get to see this side of politics.

    Registered lobbyists should not be calling reporters to try and intimidate them on behalf of lawmakers. And no man should ever refer to a female reporter as "a little girl."

    All three stops so far for Harris, now including DMR Fashion also on Lady St., are all not only female owned businesses, but also black owned businesses. Each owner shared their life story with Harris, and a little bit more of how each has navigated owning their own business.

    Replying to @MaayanSchechter
    The second stop for @KamalaHarris was at Lavish Salon and Extension Bar, also a female-owned business on Lady St. Owner Lyonisha Sanders told Harris, “It’s amazing to have you on the Democratic ticket.” #sctweets
