Low-income Americans are often hit the hardest when it comes to rising #inflation.
Folks are realizing their paycheck doesn’t go as far as it used to. No one should have to choose between food and rent.

We must keep pushing for a better and more just America without denying the tremendous progress that has already been made.

Celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth with 1993 Miss South Carolina and 1994 Miss America winner, Kimberly Clarice Aiken — who used her platform to highlight homelessness across the U.S.

I joined @MikeCrapo and some of my fellow @SenateGOP colleagues in urging the IRS to bring relief to American taxpayers by addressing delays and backlogs.
South Carolinians deserve to have their returns processed accurately and efficiently.

Even @senrobportman knows the deal.
The truth of the matter is that this RAMpant #inflation cost the Bengals the Super Bowl.

This astronomical #inflation has American families dealing with rising prices and empty promises from this administration.

It was good meeting with @WaffleHouse’s CEO Walt Ehmer today.
He let me in on a company secret — the best way to have your waffle is tossing it on the griddle for a little extra crisp.

Education is the foundational pillar when it comes to the issue of fairness in America today.
If we want to level the playing field for kids across this nation to succeed, we must expand access to quality education.

The Senate has an obligation to fully vet all nominees to ensure they meet the highest ethical standards. Ms. Raskin repeatedly failed to provide clear & comprehensive responses to @BankingGOP’s questions.
Until she does, the committee shouldn't proceed w/ a vote on Ms. Raskin.

It’s simple — the future of America depends on how we educate our students.
We must ensure our nation’s children are protected from further learning loss and isolation.

It's ludicrous that we even have to discuss the possibility of federal $$ funding crack pipe distributions. I’m proud to join my colleagues on a bill to ensure the Biden admin does not fuel dangerous drug addictions at the expense of American taxpayers.

Growing at the fastest rate in 40 years, inflation has American households spending an additional $270 a month.
This is taxation.

Seeing the unprecedented rise in crime across America pains me.
🚫 This isn’t about Republicans vs. Democrats
🚫 This isn’t Black vs. White
🚫 This isn’t law enforcement vs. communities of color
We must remember — to serve one, you must serve the other.

Growing up in Charleston, SC, I understand the importance of local law enforcement agencies to their respective communities. We’ve got to do everything we can to make sure these brave men and women are fully equipped to do their jobs effectively.

Approximately 150,000 South Carolinians are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.
Today I held a @SenateAgingGOP hearing with @SenBobCasey on how to ensure they receive the care they need.
Listen to my opening remarks 👇🏽
