🚨 SC-1 IN PLAY FOR ‘26. ABC4: “Democrat @MacDeford tied with Republican Mark Smith in Surprising Poll Results.” Deford leads with critical independents by 54-22. Trump approval at just 48-47. https://t.co/vrGC2nIgsL

New polling released Wednesday suggests the race for South Carolina's coastal 1st Congressional District is far from a foregone conclusion for Republicans.

“… whether or not the bill is gonna pass is irrelevant.” — @RepNancyMace If you think passing laws is irrelevant, you shouldn’t be in Congress.
“I came to Congress five years ago believing I could make a difference for my constituents, for South Carolina and for a country I love deeply," U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace said in the piece, which was published Monday.

God forbid we don’t codify renaming the Gulf of Mexico…
Media catches one tiny piece of an overheard conversation and loses it. Confirmed: There’s frustration that discharge petitions are the only way to move things through the House. Confirmed: There’s frustration we haven’t codified Trump’s Executive Orders. We did Gulf of

“The seat is winnable for Democrats given the current environment.” cc: @MacDeford
If Nancy Mace retires early from Congress, a special election will be held in her district before November 2026. Trump won #SC01 by 13 points in 2024. The seat is winnable for Democrats given the current environment.

REMINDER: @RepNancyMace voted against the infrastructure bill. Her taking credit for its results is… noted.
MACE WIN: When South Carolina needs results, we get to work and get it done. We fought for and helped secure the largest infrastructure grant in state history: $195 million for Long Point Road to strengthen the Port of Charleston and keep our economy moving forward.

America’s strength comes from how we use force, not just that we have it. What happened here crosses a line we cannot afford to ignore.

Illegal. Immoral. No mariner is ever permitted to kill people in distress on the high seas. Every member of Congress, regardless of party, should be demanding a full investigation and immediate accountability.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

.@PelbathForSC, in the spirit of transparency you talk about, the economy didn’t grow at 1.7% under Biden. It averaged 3% a year and more than 12% total. And Trump’s second term opened with negative growth. Transparency starts with clear, honest data.
#Crossroads2026: a top contender for South Carolina's first congressional district (#SC1) is retired USAF colonel Alex Pelbath (@PelbathForSC). One of the most decorated airmen in U.S. history, Pelbath flew the last plane out of Afghanistan in 2021...

***Initial reports that two National Guardsmen were killed were, thankfully, inaccurate. Current reports say both are in critical condition. Praying for them and for a full recovery.

@fitsnews @PelbathForSC Fellow Kabul pilot here. A correction on Mr. Pelbath's statement. The original “arbitrary” withdrawal date wasn’t set by Biden, it was set by Trump’s 2020 Doha deal with the Taliban: U.S. forces out by May 1, 2021, in exchange for releasing 5,000 Taliban prisoners and promises

Terrible news out of Washington. Two National Guard members were killed near the White House. Praying for their families and for everyone who serves our country.

I proudly stand with @CaptMarkKelly. We swear an oath to the Constitution, not a man. If Donald Trump thinks he can bully veterans into bowing to him, he’s sorely mistaken. Our loyalty is to our country, our democracy, and the rule of law.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space

Trump has a new Ukraine policy, and it’s the same as his old one — force Ukraine to surrender more land, weaken its defenses, and pretend Putin will suddenly be satisfied. And when it blows up in the free world’s face, he’ll probably demand a Nobel Peace Prize for it.
Zelensky: We are facing one of the most dangerous periods in Ukrainian history, a choice between losing our dignity and freedom and losing US support. We choose dignity. My answer is my oath of office. I did not betray Ukraine in Feb 2022 and we won’t betray in now.

Mac Deford is running for Congress in SC-01 to protect the Lowcountry and actually get things done for the people who live here. Join the campaign and help fuel the work ahead.
How will we know we’re in an environment that could see Dems with a 30+ seat pickup? Trump +10-15 seats, like these, look super vulnerable: AZ-02, KY-06, FL-27, MN-08, MO-02, NY-02, SC-02, NC-07, AK-AL, NE-01, SC-01, NJ-02, FL-07, VA-05, MN-01, FL-13.

A president threatening political opponents with “sedition” and “death” is not normal. It’s dangerous. We have to call it out.

This is straight-up authoritarian bait. Every service member is required to refuse unlawful orders. That’s the oath. That’s the law. @NancyMace keeps proving she is not fit for public office at any level.
18 U.S.C. § 2387 makes it a federal crime to interfere with, obstruct, or undermine the loyalty, discipline, or effectiveness of U.S. military forces. We have sitting Members of Congress encouraging troops to ignore lawful orders. They know exactly what they're doing.
