Children should not navigate the digital world alone, which is why parents should be empowered, not government!

The ASAAct is big-government policy for politicians and regulators to take the place of parents because some people don’t trust parents.

Better path for government is educating parents and kids about online activity rather than pushing bad policy.

Empower parents, not government!

On the left is Spencer Pratt’s home. On the right is Jimmy Kimmel’s. Mr. Kimmel repeatedly violates FCC equal time election laws campaigning against Mr. Pratt on his late night political show. ABC’s defense is that Mr. Kimmel’s show is “comedy.”

They are also selling unicorns.

I am running for Lt. Governor of South Carolina with future Governor @RalphNorman.

This is the most conservative ticket in our state’s history.

Our state is at a crossroads.
We cannot continue with 8 (or 16) more years of crumbling roads, high taxes, wasteful spending, rampant mismanaged overdevelopment, and political corruption.

The Good Ole Boy System must be dismantled.

The stranglehold of lobbyists and special interest groups over our government must be broken.

Ralph is the leading conservative voice in SC. His record of fighting against the establishment and winning is unmatched.

He leads the @freedomcaucus in Congress, and I led the @SCFreedomCaucus in the State House.

His selection of me as running mate proves that GONE are the days of nepotistic or liberal appointments.

Ralph is a man of action, not talk, and he has a concrete plan to fix this state.

So what does a Lt. Governor do?
Constitutionally…not much.
Basically—it’s a bully pulpit.

You advocate for the Governor’s agenda and should serve as a watchdog and mouthpiece for the people.

I commit this to you—I will show up and fight for you each day.

I will call out corruption.
I will demand transparency.
I will defend this beautiful state’s culture, values, resources, and heritage.
I will implement the common-sense Norman agenda.

Rarely do you have a golden opportunity for change.

Vote Ralph Norman for Governor.

Our doubts are traitors,
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt.

Abraham Lincoln died 161 years ago today. Our country’s arc was denied the service of its wisest and best statesman during the time that most called out for his wise, merciful, practical statecraft. We still feel the loss of his captaincy in that moment.

@brianeharrison Is it just me or do his gestures and cadence seem like he is doing an Obama impersonation?

NEW EPISODE: If you’re trying to understand why starter homes have vanished, why marriage and birth rates are falling, or why your kids can’t afford to move out, you won’t find a clearer guide than Dr. Emily Hamilton @mercatus.

Her latest piece in @GOVERNING, “To Support Families, Repair the Housing Ladder,” is a must-read.

It makes a simple but devastating point: lWe’ve eliminated the low rungs of the housing ladder—and now we’re shocked people can’t climb it.

Starter apartments? Outlawed. Manufactured housing? Zoned out.
SROs? Gone. Family-friendly rentals? Blocked by NIMBY politics. And now the U.S. is flirting with population decline for the first time ever.

This conversation explains why—and what to do about it. 👇

The best memorial to @charliekirk11: The grace he showed an adversary.

Mercy leaves space for curiosity, for authentic dialogue, for learning. One reason Shakespeare identifies it as the preeminent political virtue.

RIP Charlie Kirk.
