Fun fact: Columbia Attorney Chris Kenney played Mullins McLeod and Columbia Attorney Rhodes Bailey played Billy Webster during Jermaine Johnson's debate prep.
"We are in uncharted territory, more or less, Memorial Day weekend when we are supposed to be honoring our war dead, that we will be faced with a decision, do we cancel ballots for military members that have already been cast in an election and do we discard those, that's a decision we're going to make over a holiday weekend, where we're supposed to be honoring our war dead," said Air Force veteran Sen. Ed Sutton, D-Charleston.

Our Legislature is effectively disenfranchising South Carolinians who serve in the military, by making it likely they won’t learn about and have time to request and return ballots in those https://t.co/xs0ABSIWSj
The congressional redistricting in South Carolina is partisan politics drowning out the people’s voices and rights. The people of this state deserve to hear plainly that this is not acceptable. https://t.co/pocGwKq0rd
The vice president thinks that that people who beat cops at the capitol, were subsequently pardoned, and now are poised to receive a taxpayer-funded hand-out have not received sufficient sympathy from the American media.
In the $1.8B settlement Trump made with his own government is a provision that the US is “forever barred and precluded” from examining or prosecuting Trump, his family, and businesses’ past tax returns.
One set of rules for the Trumps and their cronies. Another set for everyone else.
Politics is broken when a rally cry to NOT gerrymander more is based on a state being the most gerrymandered Republican state in America. How have we let this happen to ourselves in this country??
Today, SC Republicans bragged about the gerrymandered map they already have, then killed Trump’s map because it would make GOP seats much more competitive.

It was math.
How is this being treated as normal?
A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel an ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.
Comey: Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it.
But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go.
But it's really important that all of us remember this is not who we are as a country. This is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be. And the good news is we get closer every day to restoring those values. Keep the faith.
Standing ovation for this line from King Charles: The U.S. Supreme court historical society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 supreme court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.
This is terrible for America - foreign dictatorships owning 50% of the biggest American media companies.
But it's good for the Trump billionaires that profit from foreign takeovers of our news, so the FCC will no doubt greenlight it.
The Iran War has become a corruption racket for the people close to President Trump.
This war is killing Americans, causing a global food crisis, making Iran stronger, making America weaker, and enabling some of the most massive corruption in our history.
MS NOW: The Trump admin has been making taxpayer payouts to people connected to Trump world:
