Daisy Bates was a journalist and activist whose efforts organizing the Little Rock Nine were critical to the integration of schools across the country. Today she became the second Black American to represent a state in the National Statuary Hall collection in the U.S. Capitol.

On May 8, 1966, shortly after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. visited Kingstree, South Carolina. He spoke of a better day and urged us to “march on the ballot boxes.” 58 years later his words still ring true. Our vote is our power.

Make no mistake: the rhetoric we hear from Trump is the same rhetoric we heard after Reconstruction and during Jim Crow. If we’re not careful, we’ll stray too far from the great promise of this country. We cannot move backwards.

When I received the Medal of Freedom from President Biden, all I could think about was my parents. All the sacrifices they made put me in a position where I could do my part to help further our pursuit of a more perfect union.

When @POTUS told me that I’ll be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, I said I hope I live long enough to prove myself deserving of it. I send my congratulations to the 18 other well-deserving recipients of this distinction. It’s a great honor to be in your company.

Good news: The Biden Admin's new rule will require airlines to offer cash refunds when they cancel or significantly delay flights or if they lose your bags. This is @POTUS ' latest action to expand consumer protections, eliminate junk fees & lower costs.

With South Carolina’s budget surplus and $1.8 billion in unobligated funds, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to repair some of our longstanding faults. One of them is the state's persistent underfunding of S.C. State University. My latest⬇️
