July 30, 2026 · Dispatch'Advice, tips, hacks?': Mace's 'week 4' carnivore post is the newest chapter in two years of public posts about her weight, her hair, and PTSD
On July 30, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace, a sitting member of Congress and announced candidate for South Carolina governor, asked her X followers for 'advice, tips, hacks' on the carnivore diet, 'heading into week 4.' The post drew more than 200 replies, many asking why a member of Congress was crowdsourcing meal-plan tips. It was not the first time. Since November 2024, Mace has posted repeatedly and publicly about her body: a roughly 30-pound weight loss she attributes to PTSD, a 110-pound frame, 'about half my hair' lost to what she called PTSD-driven stress, and a viral post about eating beans after an election loss. This dispatch collects those public posts, in her own words, with screenshots of each.

Mace says Fauci has 'no legal grounds' to plead the Fifth. The law says otherwise.
Rep. Nancy Mace issued a press statement on July 29, 2026, claiming that because Anthony Fauci holds a Biden pardon, he has 'no legal grounds' to invoke the Fifth Amendment. The statement contains a critical legal error: the pardon covers past conduct, not future perjury, which is exactly what Fauci said he was protecting himself from. Mace's position also directly contradicts her separate statement calling the same pardon 'legally questionable,' and her track record on Fifth Amendment invocations suggests the legal framing is politically, not principally, driven.

'He believed that showing up mattered': Mace issues a press release as every other SC House Republican attends Graham's funeral
On July 28, 2026, Sen. Lindsey Graham's casket lay in the US Capitol Rotunda and then was carried to Washington National Cathedral for his funeral. Every other South Carolina House Republican was there. Rep. Sheri Biggs and Rep. Joe Wilson presented wreaths at his casket. Reps. Russell Fry and Ralph Norman accompanied the South Carolina delegation. Rep. Nancy Mace, who spent two weeks publicly weighing a run for Graham's Senate seat and publicly clashing with him during his lifetime, did not attend. Her office issued a press release statement instead. Filing for the special election primary closed at noon the same day.
