This morning, the State Department renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.
Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. The best is yet to come.
It's disgusting that we have Republicans in South Carolina now pushing to put women in prison for having an abortion. This is not only an incredibly unjust and cruel treatment of women but a direct attack on basic human dignity. This proposed law would be one of the harshest in the nation. Women in this state deserve compassion, privacy, and basic respect. They shouldn't have to worry about being treated as criminals for making medical decisions.
@SenDickMoney South Carolina is better than this! Our people are better than this! We can choose a future that trusts women instead of threatening them.

It's good to know that the top priority of the President is a ballroom and not the millions of working families that are currently being affected by the government shutdown.
It’s not a “Schumer Shutdown” it’s a breakdown of priorities.
The CR on the table would’ve cut SNAP and healthcare funding for South Carolina families.
Keeping the government open doesn’t mean much if families can’t afford to eat.
The federal government shutdown isn’t just political theater. It’s hurting real people right here at home. Because of the shutdown, SNAP funding has been frozen. Thousands of South Carolina families, including many here in Sumter, may not receive their food assistance for November.
SNAP isn’t a luxury. It’s how working families, seniors, and children put food on the table. The shutdown forced the USDA to pause the release of funds because of budget constraints, leaving many of our most vulnerable neighbors unsure of their next grocery trip.
I’m calling on Congress to do its job, pass a responsible funding bill, and end this shutdown immediately! Politics should never come before people.
Until then, let’s come together as a community. Support local food banks, donate if you can, and check in on families who might be struggling. Sumter takes care of its own, and we’ll keep doing just that!

Today, we find ourselves at a crossroad where we are no longer asked to go right or left but instead go right or wrong.
The choices before us are not matters of politics, but of principle. Do we stand for truth when lies are easier? Do we defend the vulnerable when silence is safer?
History will not care which party we belonged to, nor which office we held. It will ask only this: Did we act with honor? Did we place justice above self-interest?
The world will remember our choices long after it forgets our titles.
You are talking about “dial tones” then and not “rings.” A dial tone is the sound you hear when your phone is trying to connect to another phone. A ring is how long the telephony server will try and ping the other phone for before either disconnecting the call or forwarding you to the voicemail box. There is still a ring occurring, but because of the device being offline or out of range for cell signal, the server automatically gets no response back and transfers you the voicemail box. You get no dial tone because there is no response from your phone on the very first ring.
Then explain to me why I am able to still connect to the voicemail box that is associated with the number. The ring you hear, or don’t depending on the carrier, is a handshake between two hosts and the telephony server. The telephony server directs traffic based on a ping that is received back via an IP or MAC Address. If the telephony server cannot ping a host, it will not connect the call; however, this does not mean the call did not attempt to go through. We know this because the telephony server will connect you the voicemail service to leave a message for when that phone comes back into service. The phone, or the line, won’t connect if the service has been disconnected or interrupted. It’s why we get messages such as “Sorry, but the number you have tried to dial is no longer in service.” You don’t get that message though if your cell phone is simply turned off or out of cell signal range.
We tend to use buzzwords when we don’t actually know how things work like in the case of you and phones. The term “ring” is actually used like “ping” in which it is not the actual sound you hear but the logical connection it is making with another host/phone. The word “line” refers to any connection being made using the phone’s demarcation point or service provider’s terminal to identify a host/phone using an addressing scheme known as phone numbers.
If you worked with services like RingCentral, which used to be AT&T OfficeAtHand, you would actually know these things and not have to rely on AI to give you all of the answers. You are trying to convince people that warp drives exist yet YOU cannot convince us you know how phone calls work.
JFK warned us that it wouldn’t take a day, it won’t take a thousand days. It most likely won’t happen while we are alive on this planet. But he asked to let us begin.
I say LET US CONTINUE!
We don’t do things because they are easy, we do them because they are hard. We must not allow failure to be seen as a wall that separates us from achieving great things but rungs on a ladder we must climb to reach for success.
It is time that a new generation of patricians and politicians who are eager to bare the load and pull us back up to the mountain’s precipice step forward and speak clearly for if we do not carry the big stick, we will not go very far. We must call upon the determined yet unselfish who will work in the dedicated pursuit of happiness for every American under a nation that does not allow any form of tyranny to shake the base for which Lady Liberty shines her guiding light on.
I firmly believe that it has come time for the Democratic Party to begin diligently searching for whomever it will be to bare the torch that shall guide our nation through the turmoil that threatens the fabric of our republic's democracy. The illustration that the party once painted was a Picasso of love and joy, but, following the unacceptable behavior exhibited by Democratic majority leaders during the President’s State of the Union address, the very whisper of the party now creates a new image of maleficence and animosity. This tarnishing of the once respectful and reputable party is an abhorrent backhand to the millions of Americans who proudly vote blue every four Novembers and have poured their hearts into the Democrats' hands only to have it squashed in front of them.
