Pretty high praise from two of the best SC journalists ever 📰❤️

I think about "The Summer Day" by Mary Oliver every summer... it's perfect reading for the long, hot days of August. "Tell me, what else should I have done?" poets.org/poem/summer-day

Must-read!

Shared a bit about how @WSJ investigated the Nancy Guthrie case in @EmmaTuckerWSJ's The 10-Point this morning. Subscribe here: wsj.com/newsletters/the-10-p…

Thanks, @nytliz. @jaredmitovich and @HannaCritch are incredible investigative reporters

Trey Gowdy on Lindsey Graham. "He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but with a plastic fork in his mouth in Central, SC."

In a special episode of BITBR out today, we remember a consequential figure in SC and American politics. Joel is joined by AP News political journalist Meg Kinnard for a thoughtful conversation reflecting on the life, public service and legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.

As county attorney, Graham once had to temper expectations for a committee wanting to eradicate kudzu: “He knew the reality of the art of what was possible,” SC Sen Pres Tom Alexander said. “That’s been a hallmark of my friend Lindsey Graham all these years.” #scpol

It was my honor to talk all things #Murdaugh with @NateNewsNow and @MattJohnsonNEWS. See you both at the retrial? April 5, 2027, venue TBD...

The pilgrims of true crime — from professional journalists to podcasters of various quality — will converge on Lexington SC on Monday to flyspeck Alex Murdaugh’s clothes — and more thestate.com/news/local/crim…

“Why would anyone underestimate this woman?” (Followed by big round of applause)

In a ballroom at Caesar’s Palace (with thousands of others) to hear Blanca Simpson and @AnneTEmerson #murdaugh #crimecon

By noon, more than 26,000 people had voted, surpassing the highest single-day early voting turnout ever recorded for a primary election in South Carolina. By 3 p.m., an estimated 44,600 ballots had been cast. The previous record was 23,000 primary ballots cast in 2024. #scpol

Hey everyone. I know you're hurting. Wanted to share what I just wrote about Kyle Busch. nytimes.com/athletic/7299097…

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race. Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.

Always love talking with @smerconish and @tccannon124

i am absolutely obsessed with this steve kerr tidbit and need the more dedicated swifties to get on this ASAP

New trial for Alex #Murdaugh. SC Supco places responsibility on Becky Hill: "Hill's shocking jury interference was accomplished outside the presence and knowledge of the outstanding trial judge and superbly competent and professional counsel for the State and the defense."

An amazing evening hosted by University of South Carolina School Of Journalism and Mass Communications featuring journalist and author, Valerie Bauerlein. Former Chief Justice Toal who presided over the Murdaugh evidentiary hearing sat in front me.

The gang’s all here! Wonderful evening @UofSC Buchheit Lecture with Valerie Bauerlein. #murdaugh
