James E. Clyburn, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 6th district, has shared several updates through his social media posts on December 11 and 12, 2024. The tweets address various policy issues and recent governmental actions.
On December 11, 2024, Clyburn highlighted the benefits of Direct File, describing it as "a free, secure, and simple way to file your taxes online." He noted that over 140,000 taxpayers successfully utilized this tool in the current year. However, he expressed concern that Republicans aim to eliminate this service.
Later that day, Clyburn reminded constituents of an upcoming deadline for health insurance enrollment under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). He emphasized that "President Biden's American Rescue Plan and Inflation Reduction Act made health care plans more affordable than ever—just $10/month for most people." The deadline for enrollment was set for Sunday, December 15.
On December 12, Clyburn commended President Biden's decision to pardon individuals with non-violent convictions. He stated on social media: "I applaud @POTUS for pardoning 39 people with non-violent convictions and commuting even more." He characterized this action as a meaningful advance toward justice for communities disproportionately affected by systemic inequities.
