Honored to have Ambassador @RoyaRahmani as my guest at the State of the Union. Since the US unilaterally withdrew from Afghanistan, the situation for women in the country has become dire. I am going to fight every day to hold those responsible accountable & to help Afghan women.
Blessed and honored to receive an award “in recognition of my dedicated service and leadership in the U.S. Senate” from the Senate Black Legislative Staff Caucus at their 45th anniversary awards gala last night. I look forward to the caucus’ continued successes in 2023!

Today is one I will not soon forget. The first person to call me ‘Senator’ when I was appointed was Rev. Clementa Pinckney. The Gospel of Matthew reminds us to ‘love those who are your enemies.’ The Mother Emanuel AME family embodied this truth in the midst of evil.
I’m glad I was able to visit Tommy’s Ham House one more time before it closes.
Tommy has served generations of South Carolinians, tourists, & political candidates southern cuisine & top-notch hospitality. His service & food will be missed!
I pray Tommy has a great retirement!
The rise in Asian American discrimination is not only un-American, but it’s morally and ethically reprehensible. Our nation stands against hate in ANY and ALL forms. Racism has no place in our society and it's our duty as Americans to speak out—loudly—when we see it.
