My mission is to positively affect the lives of a billion people with a message of hope and opportunity. Every American deserves the chance to achieve their version of the American Dream, and I will continue fighting each day to make that opportunity a reality,” said Senator Scott. This year, Senator Scott introduced 42 bills, 9 resolutions, and 16 amendments. South Carolina The Senator and his team assisted more than 6,000 South Carolinians with casework requests. Strengthening a direct line of communication with constituents remained a priority for the Senator and allowed him to send over 26,000 letters to South Carolinians in 2024. Thousands of communities across South Carolina and neighboring southeastern states have worked hard to recover from Hurricane Helene and Milton. Senator Scott pushed for Congress to demonstrate leadership and help ease the pain of those who have lost everything. That’s why he championed a bill to replenish the SBA Disaster Loan Program, providing essential assistance to families and small businesses as they continue their recovery. Additionally, Senator Scott led legislation to replenish the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s FEMA Disaster Relief Fund (DRF), which works to assist individuals, households, states, and non-federal government entities with recovery following a natural disaster.

On Thursday, Graham joined U.S. Senators Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) and Ted Budd (R-North Carolina) to urge Congress to pass disaster relief before the end of the year. “I am extremely pleased that the Senate overwhelmingly supported disaster relief for hard-hit South Carolinians and many others. My top priority was to ensure the much-needed disaster relief package was not delayed any further. “While this package ultimately did not include a debt limit deal, I was supportive of the effort and would have voted for it. “This bill funds the government, provides urgently needed disaster aid, helps our farmers, and will give some hope and relief to those who have lost so much.” #### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

These sanctions seek to prevent further Turkish or Turkish-backed attacks on the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which risk the reemergence of ISIS, threatening the national security of the U.S. and the rest of the globe. “We remain hopeful that there will be a peaceful resolution to the problems that plague Syria.” Earlier this week, Graham and Van Hollen spoke to SDF General Mazloum Abdi and reiterated their intention to introduce bipartisan sanctions if Turkey refused to extend the ceasefire. ##### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

The 1,547 page “CR” would have just made it worse. If Congress can’t agree to a bill that cuts reckless spending, then a partial government shutdown might be the only way to force Washington to get serious about its budget. We’re also talking about a very short period of time, 30 days. The Federal government needs a hard reset to help determine what is essential and what we can live without. When President Trump takes office on January 20th, we can pass spending bills that reflect a more responsible approach and the values Americans overwhelmingly endorsed in November. It is critical to get disaster relief to communities that have been devastated by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. We should do this in the most appropriate way as a stand alone measure. We support passing a disaster relief package which provides relief to these communities in a fiscally responsible manner that includes offsets, and then adjourning the 118th Congress.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://mace.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-nancy-mace-introduces-prison-rape-prevention-act CONGRESSWOMAN NANCY MACE INTRODUCES THE PRISON RAPE PREVENTION ACT 2024-12-18 2024 2024-12 Republican House SC Nancy Mace M000194 mace.house.gov mace https://mace.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper To Stop Men From Endangering Women In Prisons (Washington, D.C., December 18th, 2023) – Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) is introducing the Prison Rape Prevention Act today. This legislation bans biological males from sharing women’s prison facilities and ends taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care for inmates. This bill addresses the growing dangers posed by radical Left-wing policies which have made it open season on vulnerable women in prisons. The Left currently allows violent predators to exploit the system while wasting taxpayer dollars on dangerous gender experiments. “Let’s call this what it is: insanity,” said Rep. Nancy Mace. “Housing biological men with women in prison is a recipe for disaster. Women in our correctional facilities are already some of the most vulnerable members of society. The Prison Rape Prevention Act puts women’s safety first and shuts down the gender-bending nonsense which has made women collateral damage in a war on common sense.” The legislation also blocks taxpayer-funded gender-affirming medical care, which has been exploited by violent male inmates claiming to identify as women to gain access to female facilities. Rep. Mace blasted the practice, saying: “We’re watching dangerous men use the system to gain access to women’s spaces. These policies aren’t just misguided—they’re reckless. They’re putting women at risk, and it has to stop.” This latest effort builds on Rep. Mace’s long history of advocating for women’s safety, dignity and respect. During her time in the South Carolina State Legislature, Mace spearheaded legislation banning the shackling of incarcerated women while they give birth—a critical reform ensuring basic human dignity in correctional facilities. Her prison reform bill was signed into law in South Carolina in 2020. “Protecting women has been a cornerstone of my work,” Mace said. “I will never stop fighting for women who are too often ignored and forgotten.” Women in prisons are already at higher risk of assault and abuse.

The legislation passed the House of Representatives earlier this week. It is now headed to the President’s desk to be signed into law. “I am very pleased that the Senate has passed the NDAA for the 64th year in a row,” said Senator Graham. “This bill is a win for our men and women in uniform, giving them pay raises and better equipment. It also eliminates many of the woke programs that have been plaguing the military. From a South Carolina perspective, this bill has millions for military construction and is a big win for the Savannah River Site to sustain our nation’s nuclear arsenal.” Highlights of Provisions Included in the Final FY25 NDAA: Advocates for South Carolina. Authorizes billions for the Savannah River Site to sustain our nation’s nuclear arsenal as well as to treat and remove radioactive liquid waste. Authorizes millions for military construction projects in South Carolina for both the active and reserve components. Gives troops a much-deserved pay raise. Authorizes a 14.5 percent pay raise for junior enlisted servicemembers as well as a 4.5 percent pay raise for other servicemembers. Advances “warfighting, not wokeness” agenda. Prevents the Department of Defense (DOD) from paying for puberty blockers and other drugs for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization of minor dependents of servicemembers. Places a one-year hiring freeze on all individuals working on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the DOD. Prohibits personnel from promoting divisive critical race theory (CRT) concepts within the DOD. Requires all newly commissioned military officers to receive comprehensive training on the U.S. Constitution. Shifts over $50 million for DOD programming that promotes DEI concepts and directs it towards support for countering the flow of narcotics. #### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

In an effort to bolster our armed services, I successfully fought to raise pay for our servicemembers, revitalize defense infrastructure, and rid our military of woke policies,” said Senator Scott. “I am proud to support this year’s NDAA. As chaos unravels on the global stage, it is vital that we equip our servicemembers and military with the necessary resources to deter threats at home and abroad, while we continue to support our allies in the face of aggression.” The FY25 NDAA authorizes $182.7 billion to support our servicemembers, which is $865.1 million more than requested. The funding includes a 4.5 percent pay increase for military personnel and a 14.5 percent pay increase for junior enlisted servicemembers. The bill prohibits funding for Critical Race Theory (CRT)-related teaching, training, and promotion, including at service academies and Department of Defense schools. It also freezes hiring at the Department of Defense for one year and defunds more than $50 million in Department of Defense DEI programming — instead directing those funds toward counter-narcotics. The bill also invests in a new Joint Inter-Agency Task Force South Command and Control Facility to detect and interdict illegal migrants and narcotics. Its investments support the deployment of the National Guard to increase Border Patrol activities at the southwestern border. Senator Scott’s key wins secured in the passage of the FY25 NDAA: Senator Scott successfully secured passage of HBCU-Africa Partnership Act through final passage of the FY25 NDAA, which highlights HBCUs’ key role of strengthening ties with Sub-Saharan Africa in democracy, education, trade, and resource management. It encourages partnerships and exchanges with HBCUs to build expertise in critical sectors and directs agencies to help HBCUs secure federal grants.… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z

The bill now awaits approval by the Senate, then will be sent to the President for his signature into law. “I am grateful to have voted in favor of the bipartisan FY2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This bill represents the commitment of Congress to our service members, their families, and our national security, while also supporting funding for critical missions in my district and around South Carolina. “Congress has a duty to ensure our Armed Forces are prepared to face the threats of today and tomorrow, and the NDAA this year not only prioritizes increasing our capability but ensures that our service members are taken care of both professionally and personally. “As a 31-year veteran and father with four sons who have served overseas in the military, I am deeply committed to ensuring the Department of Defense (DoD) has every available resource to deter our adversaries, support our allies, strengthen our communities, and, when necessary, fight and win against hostile aggressors, foreign and domestic.” HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FY25 NDAA Improve Service Member Quality of Life “No service member should have to worry about making ends meet or putting food on the table. The FY25 NDAA will boost service member compensation. “Among other areas of support, this legislation will give junior enlisted service members a 14.5 percent pay raise; improve unaccompanied housing for service members; expand access to specialty medical care for service members; and provide them with direct access to specialty medical providers by waiving the TRICARE referral requirement.” Modernize our Nuclear Triad for Deterrence “This year’s NDAA reconfirms the support to modernize our nuclear triad.

We are playing Russian roulette with our national security if we delay securing our broken border. More than 200 Americans die every day due to fentanyl overdoses. That is the equivalent of another September 11 attack nearly every two weeks because of the illicit drugs that are coming across our border. Every week we delay is a death sentence for thousands of Americans. The shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan energized terrorist organizations around the globe. Now with the turmoil in Syria, the jihadist groups threatening America are growing in capability and numbers. While the recent collapse of the Assad regime in Syria was a big loss for Russia and Iran, the chaos it brings to the region can present a direct threat to the United States. First, the radical group that toppled the Assad regime has been associated with Al Qaeda in the past and its leader is a former detainee who was captured on the battlefield in Iraq and was also associated with Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the founder of ISIS. Second, Turkey views the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, a primarily Kurdish force that is guarding more than 50,000 ISIS prisoners, as a terrorist entity. These Kurdish forces helped the United States destroy the ISIS Caliphate and if they are compromised, there could be an ISIS prisoner jailbreak. That would be a nightmare for America and the rest of the world. In case anyone forgot, ISIS is responsible for and inspired some of the worst terrorist attacks the world has ever seen. On November 13, 2015, Paris, France was attacked in multiple locations, including the Bataclan Theater, resulting in the death of 130 people.

The Grant Transparency Act requires government agencies to disclose their selection methods for awarding competitive grants. Federal grants are critical to state and local governments across the country, as well as many organizations. Applying for federal grants can be a complicated process and grant applicants are often left wondering why they were or were not chosen for an award. This legislation addresses this by clarifying the award selection criteria within the grant application process. Specifically, the Grant Transparency Act of 2023 requires the Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFO) for competitive grants to have: a description of any rating system, evaluation, and selection criteria the agency uses to assess applications for the competitive grant; a statement of whether the agency uses a weighted scoring method and a description of any weighted scoring method the agency uses for the competitive grant, including the amount by which the agency weights each criterion; and any other qualitative or quantitative merit-based approach the agency uses to evaluate an application for the competitive grant. "The passage of the Grant Transparency Act marks a significant step toward leveling the playing field for local governments and organizations seeking federal grant funding," said Congressman Russell Fry. "With this legislation now signed into law, we can ensure that applicants will not be left in the dark about how their submissions are evaluated. This legislation brings much-needed clarity and accountability to the federal grant process, empowering local governments and organizations to access the resources they need to succeed. I'm proud to have led this effort and look forward to seeing its positive impact across South Carolina and the nation." The Grant Transparency Act is co-led by Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).

Nancy Mace, a survivor and advocate for women, is pushing the Safe Shelters Act to bar registered sex offenders from emergency shelters shared with women and children during disasters. This bill has been cosponsored by Reps. Anna Paulina Luna, Van Drew, Weber and Boebert. The bill builds upon policies in Florida counties like Flagler and Marion which require sex offenders to evacuate to separate facilities or dedicated shelters. Mace's bill: Prohibits sex offenders from entering undesignated emergency shelters Requires immediate notification to shelter operators of sex offender registration status Allows FEMA to designate specific shelters for registered sex offenders Establishes federal penalties for non-compliance, including potential fines and imprisonment "In times of crisis, shelters must be sanctuaries, not hunting grounds for predators," said Rep. Nancy Mace. "Women and girls are 3.5 times more likely to experience sexual violence in chaotic, post-disaster environments. Women and children deserve safety, protection, and peace of mind. Our bill will make sure disaster shelters remain a place of refuge for those in their most vulnerable state.“ "Women and children should never face the risk of being exposed to sex offenders in emergency shelters. While providing shelter during emergencies is essential, these places should be free from other dangers," said Rep. Luna. "FEMA must establish emergency shelters that restrict access to sexual predators. I am proud to co-sponsor this critical legislation protecting vulnerable disaster victims from any potential further harm. Our emergency shelters should be safe, secure, and free from harm for all who seek refuge." Read the full bill here.

WASHINGTON — After Chairman Brown’s last-minute postponement of today’s U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs markup vote on President Biden’s partisan nominees, Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the committee’s top Republican, slammed the committee’s dysfunction and lack of transparency. In his opening statement, Senator Scott also called out Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Director Rohit Chopra for ignoring his demands to pause rulemaking and pressing forward with an aggressive agenda – even after prudential regulators agreed to shelve proposals and final rules before President Trump’s inauguration. After calling for Director Chopra to resign, Senator Scott noted he looked forward to working with a new CFPB Director to increase accountability at the Bureau – while focusing on efforts to protect consumers and remove politics from our federal regulators. Senator Scott’s opening remarks as delivered: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for your service on this committee since 2007 and the last several years as the Chairman of the committee. I’ll say the cancelation of today’s markup really is disappointing and frankly sours the tone. It is another example of the dysfunction and lack of transparency that is a last gasp of a lame-duck administration. But now, we turn our attention to the Director of the CFPB, who also doesn’t seem to accept the results of the November election. As I mentioned earlier, after the November election – a historic win for Republicans and President Trump which delivered a mandate for this committee and for this Congress.

Lax sanctions enforcement has enabled certain nations, particularly in Southeast Asia, to openly disregard U.S. sanctions and sell Iranian crude to China.

After facing backlash from the Left over her recent resolution, she is doubling down with a new bill aimed at banning biological men from using women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms in all federally funded facilities. This includes public schools and universities, national parks, government buildings, healthcare facilities such as hospitals and clinics, public housing and shelters, and transportation hubs like airports, train stations, and bus terminals. This effort comes in response to mounting concerns from women across the nation who feel their safety and dignity are being compromised in the name of the Left’s crusade to erase biological women with toxic political correctness. These spaces would be required to enforce clear bathroom policies to protect women and girls. “We introduced a resolution to stand up for women, and the Left lost their minds. But I’m not here to make them happy—I’m here to protect women and girls,” said Congresswoman Mace. “I’m doubling down with this bill. We’ve worked too hard for safe spaces, and we’re not going to allow them to be erased by unhinged, loud, and far-Left extremists. Men in women’s private spaces is not normal, and it never will be.” “Let them come at us again,”Congresswoman Mace continued. “We’re not stopping.

Rep. Nancy Mace secured authorizations for local water projects in the Lowcountry in the final draft. One significant authorization assists with deepening of the Charleston Harbor. This initiative will provide a boost to the local economy, in addition to creating jobs and opportunity for SC-01. “South Carolina Ports appreciate the support of Congresswoman Mace and the entire Congressional delegation for leading these efforts and advocating for the competitiveness of South Carolina’s world-class port system. South Carolina Ports are a critical driver of jobs and investment in South Carolina, and we must invest in our harbor and port infrastructure to support our thriving economy. Our Congressional delegation’s endeavors ensure that Charleston has the deepest harbor on the U.S. East Coast at 52 feet, and that we will also achieve this depth up to North Charleston Terminal, which is the next phase of major capacity at the Port of Charleston,” said SC Ports President and CEO Barbara Melvin. "These investments are advancing our infrastructure, boosting our local economy, and ensuring the Lowcountry gets the resources it needs as the10th fastest growing congressional district in the nation. We are securing the necessary resources for our community and economy to thrive,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. Through WRDA, Rep. Mace secured: $12,178,000 increase in authorization for wastewater infrastructure and stormwater management projects in Mount Pleasant (increase from $7,822,000 to $20,000,000). $70,000,000 increase in authorization for water and wastewater infrastructure projects at Lakes Marion and Moultrie (increase from $165,000,000 to $235,000,000).

This bill instructs the Judicial Conference to review and suggest updates to federal rules, ensuring victims' personal details, when irrelevant to the case, remain protected in court. "As a survivor, I know firsthand how important it is to protect our privacy and dignity,"said Congresswoman Mace. "We deserve the strongest safeguards against having our personal lives exposed and scrutinized in court. This bill could be a huge step forward in preventing unnecessary, hurtful disclosures about a victim's past, helping ensure survivors aren’t re-victimized by the legal process itself." The Rape Shield Enhancement Act of 2024 mandates the Judicial Conference submit a report to Congress within 180 days of the bill becoming law, providing recommendations for amendments focused on: Enhancing protections to further restrict the admissibility of evidence related to a victim's sexual history or disposition, preventing such evidence from being unnecessarily disclosed or used against victims in sexual assault cases. Narrowing the scope of permissible discovery requests to limit inquiries into an alleged victim’s private records or history—such as financial, social, psychological, medical, and sexual history—unless they are directly relevant to the case. Strengthening limitations on requests for personal information of an alleged victim in criminal proceedings, only directly relevant information is accessible and restricting further disclosure beyond the defense team and relevant experts. These measures will help prevent the unnecessary spread of a victim's private information. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T22:07:06Z

In a letter on Friday, six U.S. Senators—three Republicans and three Democrats—implored the ICC’s overseer “to investigate the highly irregular and potentially illegal actions by the Prosecutor” in targeting Israel’s leaders. Sens. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), Ben Cardin (D., Md.), John Thune (R., S.D.), Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.), Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) and John Fetterman (D., Pa.) wrote to the Assembly of States Parties with “two grave concerns.” First, prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan didn’t comply with the law in applying for arrest warrants. The Senators relate how Mr. Khan misled them that he would “meaningfully engage with the State of Israel,” as required by the court’s Rome Statute, “before any action was taken.” Instead he stiffed the Israelis and announced his application for arrest warrants on CNN. Second, “there is a cloud hanging over the Prosecutor and his office” from sexual-harassment allegations, suppressed shortly before Mr. Khan requested the arrest warrants and thereafter. We’ve reported on those allegations, which have since gained steam from an Associated Press investigation. Mr. Khan has implied in response that this is all an Israeli conspiracy, which doesn’t put to rest questions of bias. The ICC staff union doesn’t trust the court’s internal watchdog to investigate and has called for “a prompt, independent and thorough investigation led by an external panel.” The Senators write, “Any action by the Court regarding arrest warrants for Israeli officials without the benefit of a completed investigation into the serious allegations hanging over Prosecutor K… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:02:12Z

These records, detailing her handling of ICE requests and the termination of the County’s 287(g) agreement, have significant public safety implications. Rep. Nancy Mace, Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, demands transparency, calling the Sheriff’s deflection of a congressional inquiry as a FOIA request a clear attempt to avoid accountability. If the Sheriff’s office fails to comply, Rep. Mace, alongside the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs, will issue a subpoena. "Documentary evidence of these facts was submitted for the record by Representative Mace at a September 25 hearing entitled, ‘The Border Crisis: The Cost of Chaos,’ held by the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border and Foreign Affairs. To better understand why your jurisdiction is refusing to facilitate custody by ICE of illegal aliens who have committed crimes—including violent crimes—we request that you provide the following information, covering the time period January 4, 2021 to the present unless otherwise indicated, by November 15, 2024," the letter continues. "If you fail to produce the requested documents by November 15, 2024, the Committee will consider additional measures, including use of the compulsory process, to gain compliance and obtain this critical material.” “Our message is simple: hand over the documents or prepare for a subpoena,” Mace continued. “Stonewalling Congress won’t fly, and I won’t stand by while public safety is put at risk. Graziano needs to answer for her actions, and we’re going to do whatever it takes to make it happen.” Read the full letter ### For press inquiries, please reach out to SC01press@mail.house.gov 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T22:07:06Z

Khan that seem to implicate his decision to apply for arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. First, in a potential violation of international law, Prosecutor Khan failed to properly engage with the State of Israel during his investigation and abruptly canceled a meeting between the Prosecutor’s office and Israeli representatives and then announced the application for arrest warrants. Second, several media reports, including an October 25, 2024 Associated Press story, found the warrant applications were announced around the same time that Prosecutor Khan was accused of sexual harassment and workplace misconduct. This raises the possibility that the Prosecutor was influenced by extraneous factors. If the allegations against Prosecutor Khan are true, the Senators have asked the ASP to hold a vote to remove him from his position. The Senators wrote, “First, Prosecutor Khan did not comply with the law when he applied for arrest warrants against Israeli government officials… we received notification that members of Prosecutor Khan’s team were scheduled to meet with legal representatives for the State of Israel on May 20 in Israel. To our astonishment, however, members of the Prosecutor’s office never boarded the plane to Israel and the meeting was abruptly canceled just a few hours before it was to take place...

The senators plan to seek passage of the legislation when Congress returns to session. On October 15th, the SBA announced the Disaster Loan Fund had run out of money. “Hurricane Helene brought a level of devastation to South Carolina we haven’t seen since Hugo. With a natural disaster of this magnitude, Congress should take the opportunity to show leadership and help ease the pain of those who have lost everything,” said Senator Tim Scott. “Communities back home and in surrounding states have come together to recover, but it will take every possible effort to get us back to where we were.” “The SBA Disaster Loan Program running out of funds risks delays in processing the loans of those affected by Helene and Milton and their ability to get their lives back on track,” said Senator Tillis. “That is why I am leading legislation to replenish this fund when Congress returns to Washington, and I look forward to working across the aisle to pass a long-term disaster aid package that will provide additional resources to help make the victims of these hurricanes whole again.” “The citizens of Western North Carolina are some of the toughest and most resilient people in this country,” said Senator Budd. “As they recover and rebuild their communities, they must be able to access disaster loans from SBA. This recovery will take many years, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to cut through the delays and provide WNC with the resources they need as quickly as possible.” “Hurricanes Francine, Helene, and Milton hit us hard, but Louisianans and Americans are resilient,” said Dr. Cassidy. “This funding is essential to help small businesses recover from these storms and support our local economies.” “We cannot allow frontline federal ag… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:55:29Z

Senator Scott was joined on the letter by Representative Danny Davis (D-Ill.). “We write regarding the administration of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Rare Pediatric Priority Review Voucher (PRV) program, particularly as it applies to innovative treatments like gene therapies,” Senator Scott and Representative Davis wrote. They continued, “However, we are concerned that FDA’s recent administration of the program may not be fulfilling the program’s promise, original vision, and intent. Specifically, we understand that FDA has made an initial decision to narrowly interpret the definition of “active ingredient” in the PRV statute, resulting in the unexpected denial of at least one pediatric PRV.” “However, the decision whether to narrowly or broadly interpret the definition of “active ingredient” for purposes of awarding a PRV is not so much a question of science as it is one of policy. Congress has not provided guidance as to how FDA should determine if two active ingredients in an ex-vivo gene therapy are the same or different, but the text of the statute and the legislative history make clear that Congress wanted to create an incentive to treat patient populations that might not warrant investment if left simply to ordinary market forces. By interpreting this statutory requirement in a narrower way than the statute requires – and one that flies directly against Congressional intent – we risk disrupting this delicate ecosystem, jeopardizing not only the availability of SCD treatments today, but also investments in complex and life-saving innovation for the future,” stated Scott and Davis. “We understand that FDA … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:55:29Z

This is especially the case with the budget of the Department of the Navy. The bad news: the current Navy budget will not make a stronger military or a larger U.S. fleet a reality. The good news: through American innovation and more agile products, we can build a bigger and more efficient Navy. However, President Biden’s proposed FY2025 budget of $257.6 billion for the Department of the Navy is well below inflation and does not provide for a more lethal Navy. As both President Biden and President Trump certified, the most direct challenge facing the U.S. Navy today is from the People’s Republic of China. Therefore, strong investments must be made now to ensure the Navy, and most importantly the United States, can meet this threat head-on. It comes as no shock to the reader that America and its allies and partners are facing an unprecedented deluge of maritime threats by the People’s Republic of China. The Chinese Navy alone has provoked a U.S. destroyer in the Taiwan Strait with dangerous maneuvers, harassed Taiwan with aggressive military exercises, entered America’s Exclusive Economic Zone in the Bering Sea, developed a jam-resistant submarine torpedo, and injured several Filipino sailors at and around Second Thomas Shoal. These developments incrementally set the conditions for a direct conflict on the open seas. Meanwhile, Washington has been lulled into complacency by decades of maritime supremacy. Most concerning, the United States lacks the political resolve to shed the Navy’s Soviet-era mentality and adapt to the new era of great power competition.

Senator Graham points out that the harassment allegations surfaced in early May, just a few days prior to Prosecutor Khan canceling his scheduled trip to meet with Israeli officials, and instead abruptly announcing he applied for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. Graham wrote,“In the weeks before Prosecutor Khan applied for warrants, I worked with a bipartisan group of United States Senators to urge Prosecutor Khan to adhere to the Rome Statute in conducting his investigation. Specifically, on a May 1, 2024 phone call, this bipartisan group urged Prosecutor Khan to respect the principle of complementarity and to engage in good faith with Israeli officials before making any decision as to how to move forward against the State of Israel.” He concluded, “It has now come to my attention through media reports that Prosecutor Khan was facing allegations of misconduct around the same time, and the resolution of this matter remains a mystery. The abrupt decision to cancel this visit to Israel, along with these contemporaneous allegations needs to be explained, and I request full transparency on the matter to ensure there is no conflict of interest. These media reports are disturbing, and I call for a release of the records pertaining to these allegations, including any decision not to open an investigation, and for an update on where this matter stands. Until such transparency is satisfactorily achieved, another cloud—a moral one—hangs over Prosecutor Khan’s abrupt decision to abandon engagement with Israel and seek arrest warrants.” To read the full letter, click here. ##### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:55:29Z

Tyler's Law, named after a 10-month-old who died due to a defective crib, addresses major gaps in reporting product-related child injuries and deaths. Currently, hospitals, coroners, and medical examiners aren't required to report these incidents to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Our bill requires direct reporting of child product-related deaths or serious injuries to the CPSC, enabling faster identification of dangerous items to prevent future tragedies. “Too many families have suffered the unthinkable because of products designed for our most vulnerable,” said Rep. Nancy Mace. “Tyler Jonathan's is not an isolated incident. Nursery products contribute to hundreds of child deaths annually due to inadequate safety standards. Parents should trust the products we bring into our homes and Tyler's Law will make sure we know when those products pose a danger to our kids.” Tyler’s Law will also hold medical examiner and coroner offices accountable. Offices who fail to comply with reporting requirements will be ineligible for Medical Examiner Coroner Office Accreditation grants under the Department of Justice’s Strengthening the Medical Examiner-Coroner System Program. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

This project is a game-changer for Charleston County and the Port, and it is critical to ensuring safe travel and continued growth in the region. I am proud to have worked with Governor McMaster, the SCDOT, Representative Nancy Mace, and Congressman Clyburn, a true champion of this project, to make it a reality. This is excellent news for our state,” said Senator Graham. "The Long Point Road Interchange Project is an investment in both our economy and the quality of life of our people that will reduce congestion, improve safety, and enhance access to the Port.

The Protect American Fisheries Act amends the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, adding economic causes as allowable grounds for declaring a fishery resource disaster. This bill has been cosponsored by Representatives Troy Carter, Randy Weber, Jared Golden, Greg Murphy, Jerry Carl, Anthony D’Esposito, Clay Higgins, and Byron Donalds. Foreign interference in U.S. fishery markets, particularly through illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, subsidized foreign fleets, forced and child labor, and dumping of contaminated seafood products, is devastating domestic industries. These predatory practices are driving down dock prices for American fishermen, threatening the livelihood of multi-generational fishing families and small businesses. "Our domestic fisheries are under assault not only from illegal and subsidized foreign competition but also from bureaucratic red tape failing to protect American industries. The Protect American Fisheries Act takes a stand against these harmful practices and the inefficiencies in our system allowing them to persist. This legislation ensures we can cut through the red tape, defend the livelihoods of hardworking American fishermen, and strengthen our coastal economies by targeting illegal fishing, predatory pricing, and foreign market distortions," said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. “I am proud to cosponsor this bill, which will strengthen protections for U.S. fisheries. By addressing market distortions, predatory pricing, and illegal fishing practices, this legislation helps safeguard the economic viability of our fishing communities.

The legislation would bring the Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster account into parity with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Disaster Relief Fund, requiring public reports on the status of the SBA’s fund. “Residents in South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton are counting on us for urgent federal assistance,” said Senator Scott. “As we work to provide much-needed support, we must also ensure that Congress and the American people are never caught off guard by funding shortfalls. My bill will mandate that the Small Business Administration publicly report on the status of the Disaster Loan Account, similar to FEMA’s transparency with its Disaster Relief Fund. This will enhance accountability and enable Congress to provide timely assistance during disasters well before funds are depleted.” Earlier this week, Senator Scott joined Senate Small Business Committee Ranking Member Ernst (R-Iowa) and his Senate colleagues in penning a letter to SBA Administrator Guzman raising serious concerns with the unacceptable failures by SBA that allowed this funding shortfall to occur. Joining Senators Scott and Ernst on the letter were Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.) and James Risch (R-Idaho). “We are committed to ensuring disaster victims across our nation, including those affected by recent Hurricanes Helene and Milton, receive timely federal disaster assistance…” the Senators wrote. “We are deeply concerned about the SBA’s handling of its disaster loan account and the SBA’s failures to provide its authorizing committees statutorily required information…Unfortunately, the SBA failed to comply, or only partially complied, with several of these provisions, and is now, at the eleventh-hour, sounding alarm bells.” Read their full letter here.

The senators’ legislation would appropriate $20 billion to the dwindling FEMA Disaster Relief Fund, which is intended to assist individuals, households, states, and non-federal government entities with recovery following a natural disaster. “Hurricane Helene brought a level of devastation we haven’t seen since Hugo. In South Carolina alone, the storm claimed 49 lives and left over a million without power. When any state experiences a natural disaster of this magnitude, Congress has a responsibility to step up and do its job,” said Senator Tim Scott. “Communities back home and in surrounding states have come together to recover, but it will take every possible effort to get us back to where we were.” “Unfortunately, this is a hurricane season no one will soon forget. The Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) is the front line for states, and our constituents, to receive support in the aftermath of natural disasters. While assessments of the full extent of these storms are underway, the DRF cannot be allowed to be depleted. I am proud to announce my colleagues and I will be introducing a bill to provide additional funding to support communities affected by the recent hurricanes,” said Senator Marco Rubio. “Americans help Americans. FEMA needs resources to help those impacted by Hurricanes Milton, Helene, and Francine. Related to this, I will continue working to make flood insurance affordable again,” said Senator Bill Cassidy. “It is alarming that FEMA has spent almost half of its disaster fund, and there are still weeks left in hurricane season.

Joining Senators Scott and Grassley on the effort are Senators Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas). The senators’ inquiry specifically hones in on the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) – which received backing from an organization whose associated entities the U.S. government has implicated for financing Hamas – and the hundreds of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters NSJP claims to support across the U.S. “It is incumbent upon all of us crack down on hidden foreign influence. […] The introduction of hostile foreign adversaries into domestic political discussion is especially of issue when it is fueling an alarming rise in antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment. The public reporting appears to indicate that NSJP and related chapters may fit into the FARA definition of ‘publicity agent,’ at minimum, and its conduct, among other activity, may constitute a public relations effort designed to impact U.S. public opinion in favor of a foreign principal, which would meet FARA’s definition of political activities,” wrote the senators. The senators continued, “Taken as a whole, these actions require further investigation from DOJ and the FBI to fully determine whether NSJP and SJP chapters should register as foreign agents under FARA and the extent of Hamas and Iran’s potential involvement.” Scott, Grassley, and their colleagues cite numerous examples that signal NSJP and SJP chapters may have an obligation to register as agents under FARA.

October 9th, 2024) – Representative Nancy Mace has introduced the bipartisan North American Grasslands Conservation Act to protect and restore North America's grasslands. The bill establishes a voluntary, incentive-based program for a North American Grasslands Conservation Plan and creates a grant program to fund conservation efforts like grassland management, restoration, and easements. It supports farmers, ranchers and private landowners, while also providing dedicated funding for Tribal grasslands conservation and promoting indigenous ecological knowledge. The bill also includes a pilot program for regenerative grazing to mitigate climate change. Co-leading the bill are Representatives Sharice Davids, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Mike Thompson. “The United States has over 125 million acres of grasslands that are threatened, and right here in South Carolina, we see firsthand how important conservation is to the health and beauty of our natural ecosystems,” said Rep. Nancy Mace (SC-01). “Our office has made a promise to preserve this beauty, not just for today but for future generations.” “In Kansas, we have grassland prairies that are well known throughout the Great Plains for their beautiful landscapes and scenic hiking trails, but grasslands once covered millions of acres across North America, stretching from coast to coast. Grasslands are vital to ranchers and producers, Tribes, and folks who love spending time outdoors. They’re critical habitats to countless species of birds, important pollinators, and treasured animals like the bison. And, they’re crucial to fighting the effects of climate change, bolstering our food security, and combating extreme weather. I’m excited for this opportunity to highlight the protection of our grasslands and bipartisan solutions that build off of successful public-private partnerships,” said Representative Sharice L. Davids (KS-03). “Grasslands are among the most endangered ecosystems in the world, with over 70 percent of America’s tallgrass, mixed grass, and … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Rep. Mace has already demanded the Sheriff’s office hand over all internal and external communications between the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office and ICE including documents related to ICE detainer requests, illegal aliens apprehended by the Sheriff’s Office, and the termination of the 287(g) agreement. The deadline for submitting these documents is October 15, 2024. According to recent data from ICE, as of July 21, 2024, more than 12,000 noncitizens with convictions or pending charges for sex offenses—excluding assault or commercialized sex—are not in custody. Even more troubling, over 20,000 noncitizens charged with or convicted of sexual assault are walking free. Additionally, a staggering 14,945 noncitizens have been charged with or convicted of murder and are not in custody. In total, ICE’s non-detained docket includes 662,566 criminal aliens, freely roaming the streets of our communities. Sanctuary Sheriff Graziano has ignored at least 51 ICE detainer requests, endangering South Carolinians by allowing criminal aliens to roam free in the Lowcountry. "These numbers are terrifying. We have tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens, some of them convicted sexual predators, free to walk our streets,"Rep. Nancy Mace said."And why? Because people like Sheriff Graziano have prioritized sanctuary policies over the safety of our communities. Charleston County is in grave danger from this leadership. We need law enforcement to work with ICE, not against them.” "Every day we delay is another day criminals are allowed to terrorize our neighborhoods."
