If the South Carolina Senate is going to veer from discussing the budget during budget week, here are a few topics to try:
Feeding hungry kids.
Protecting public education.
Protecting Medicaid.

So we can't use federal and state dollars to feed hungry kids in South Carolina public schools.
But we can send those dollars to private schools for kids who don't need them.
Great. Fine. It's all fine.

Katie Britt just said that there are empty chairs at the dinner table tonight.

Yeah, like my cousin Alex who was killed because Republicans refuse to take action on guns.

Don’t act like you care about innocent Americans dying when you allow 45k people a year to die from gun…

Governor Pillen has reversed course and will implement the summer EBT food program for Nebraska's children.
PLEASE, Gov. Henry McMaster, won't you do the same?
Make the right choice and feed hungry children in South Carolina!
