Lindsey Graham said that Social Security and Medicare are promises “we can't keep.”

Today, Trump's budget cut billions of dollars from those programs.

Shame on Lindsey for working with this Administration and destroying programs that our SC seniors and families depend on.

While we wait for Iowa caucus results to roll out tonight...or not, let’s have a little laugh and moment of what could have been for the impeachment trial! https://t.co/SbfQB3Jr0s

WEALTH INEQUALITY: The richest 1% controls more wealth now than at any time in more than 50 years. But what does wealth inequality really look like?

@TonyDokoupil turned America’s economic pie into a real one and asked people a simple question: Who gets what?

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Donald Trump must be convicted and removed from office.

Because he will always choose his own personal interest over our national interest.

Because in America, right matters. Truth matters.

If not, no Constitution can protect us.

If not, we are lost.

[Joe Cunningham @JoeCunninghamSC]

Make. It. Easier. To. Vote.

[EMILYs List @emilyslist]

In November, the EMILY’s List community helped elect a record number of women to the Virginia General Assembly. Because of these history-making women, Virginia has now passed the ERA, guaranteeing women’s equal rights under the law. https://t.co/YSl4h2mDZB

@JoeCunninghamSC Why this matters: Cunningham has now passed the $.2.3M he raised in his 2018 midterm race. He also raised more in one quarter than one of his GOP challengers, @NancyMace, raised in the last 6.5 months. #scpol #SC01 (tweeting again since earlier tweet had wrong handle.)

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

Today, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald John Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

History will remember those who stood up for what is right.

House Democrats are proud to uphold our oath and fight #ForThePeople.

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

In the words of our brother, “We are better than this.”

[Jamie Lovegrove @jslovegrove]

@RepCunningham At that point, Cunningham's phone rang. It was his wife, who just put his son to bed.

"I leave my family every week to come up here to do what's right for our district, our state and our country. If I'm coming just for my own self-preservation, I should hang it up and stay home"

[Jamie Lovegrove @jslovegrove]

@RepCunningham "A lot of people cautioned me and said that this is bad politically," @RepCunningham said of his impeachment votes.

"I just responded that that's not the reason that we do this job. If I started going down that road, I would just become exactly what I set out to end." #scpol

[Jamie Lovegrove @jslovegrove]

Caught up with @RepCunningham as he walked into the House chamber to cast his votes and asked if he had any second thoughts:

“No. This is a decision that obviously I took my time in making... This is about upholding the rule of law. Without that, we have nothing.” #scpol
