'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.

"Not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslims": Mace's July 27 post draws 53,500 likes
On July 27, 2026, at 7:04 PM ET, Rep. Nancy Mace posted on her personal X account, @NancyMace: 'Not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslims.' The post drew roughly 53,500 likes and 7,440 replies. It is the latest entry in a pattern of Mace statements about Muslims and Islam that runs from a June 2026 H-E-B endorsement through a November 2025 'Stop Muslim radicals' fundraising email to her own Muslim Brotherhood legislation, alongside her repeated line that opposing 'radical Islam' and Sharia law 'isn't Islamophobia.'

"If you think your child is trans, your child should be removed from your home to safety": Mace's July 26 post
On July 26, 2026, at 2:55 PM ET, Rep. Nancy Mace posted on her personal X account, @NancyMace: 'If you think your child is trans, your child should be removed from your home to safety.' The standalone post, carrying no article or event, drew roughly 8,300 likes and about 400 replies. It is one of a cluster of Mace statements about transgender people posted across late July 2026, and sits atop a record that runs from her November 2024 Capitol bathroom resolution through her September 2025 'straitjacket' remarks.

'It hasn't happened yet, has it?': Mace, smiling, calls out Trump's broken 50 percent electricity promise on camera
Stopped outside the Capitol by a MeidasTouch reporter and asked what her constituents are saying about affordability, Rep. Nancy Mace rattled off rising groceries, electricity, mortgages and rent, then finished the reporter's sentence about President Trump's pledge to cut power bills: 'By 50 percent. It hasn't happened yet, has it?' She smiled and turned away. The clip, posted July 22, 2026 and shared across X by @Acyn, landed two days after Trump's own self-imposed deadline to halve electricity prices passed with residential rates up about 18 percent instead.

"How self-loathing are they": Mace asks "how many Jews voted for Mamdani," doubles down when Piers Morgan calls it "an extraordinary charge." Israel's UN ambassador, asked twice, declines to agree.
On the July 22, 2026 episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Rep. Nancy Mace reacted to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's call for the federal government to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu by asking "how many Jews voted for Mamdani," calling Jewish New Yorkers who backed him "self-loathing," and saying she is perplexed by "this guy coming to America eight years ago from Kampala." Mamdani moved to New York in 1999, at age 7; eight years ago matches his 2018 naturalization, not his arrival. When Morgan called her words "an extraordinary charge," Mace repeated them. Later in the same episode Morgan put her quote to Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon twice; Danon declined to agree both times.

"Not Chopping Their Dicks Off": Mace's Entire On-Camera Answer on Military Healthcare. Her Amendment Was Later Stripped Anyway.
Rep. Nancy Mace celebrated a House vote restricting TRICARE gender-affirming care coverage by posting "Our military should be focused on troop readiness, not chopping their dicks off", then yelled at a Democratic colleague on the House floor and followed up by attacking her nose on social media.

One day after quitting the race, Nancy Mace endorses Ralph Norman and snubs Trump's pick for Graham's Senate seat
One day after ruling out her own Senate bid, Rep. Nancy Mace endorsed Rep. Ralph Norman for the South Carolina special election on July 21, 2026, breaking publicly with President Trump, who had endorsed Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham Nordone on July 17. Norman accepted the endorsement while pledging to 'stand with President Trump,' the same president whose candidate he and Mace are now both running against. Filing opens today and closes July 28, with the primary set for August 11.

Two threat sentencings in one day: the woman who sent kill texts went home until prison. The teenager who posted one tweet sat in jail 14 months.
On July 21, 2026, both pending threat cases against Nancy Mace ended. Shayla Addison, who sent five kill texts, a bomb-threat email, and two Instagram comments and had a record of nearly identical threats, was never jailed pretrial and got 27 months. Samuel Cain, a Greenville trans teenager who posted a single tweet that agencies reportedly could not tie to any weapon or plan, had already served roughly 14 months without bond and left with house arrest, five years of probation, and a permanent internet ban. Mace posted through all of it.

"When was your gender revealed?": Mace's five minutes with the Smithsonian's American History director
Nancy Mace spent her five minutes at the House DOGE subcommittee's Smithsonian hearing demanding yes-or-no answers from Dr. Anthea Hartig, the PhD historian who has led the National Museum of American History since 2019. On video, verbatim: 'what is a woman,' 'when was your gender revealed,' and a diary she called 'featuring a six-year-old' that the museum says was written by a 13-year-old.

"I'm not chasing another title, I'm chasing justice": Nancy Mace rules out the Senate race, and with it, public office
On July 20, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace announced in a 64-second video on X that she will not enter the special election for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's Senate seat. 'I want to be straight with you. I'm not running for the US Senate, not because I'm backing down from a fight, but because the one I'm already in matters right now.' The announcement came three days after President Trump endorsed Graham's sister, interim Sen. Darline Graham Nordone, for the full term. Combined with her June 10 decision not to seek re-election to the House, Mace is now set to leave public office when her term ends in January 2027. This dispatch reproduces the video statement in full, verbatim, alongside the separate written statement she posted with it.

"If you're running for two offices at once, you've already told us who you are": Nancy Mace objects to sitting House members seeking the Senate, without naming Russell Fry
Fifty-nine minutes after Rep. Russell Fry announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate on July 20, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace posted a standalone statement on X, without naming Fry: 'If you're running for two offices at once, you've already told us who you are. That's not about politics anymore - that's about power.' She grounded the objection in House math, warning that a sitting Republican House member who wins the Senate seat in November vacates his seat until next May, narrowing an already thin majority, and writing 'I will never hand Hakeem Jeffries that gift.' Mace is not on the November 2026 ballot herself: she lost the June 9 Republican gubernatorial primary, did not seek reelection to her House seat, and has said her House term ends in January 2027.

"I would be an idiot not to at least look at it": filing for Lindsey Graham's Senate seat opens Tuesday, and Nancy Mace has seven days
Candidate filing for the special election to fill the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's seat opens Tuesday, July 21, 2026 and closes one week later, July 28. Rep. Ralph Norman formally entered the race July 18, defying President Trump's endorsement of interim Sen. Darline Graham Nordone. Businessman Mark Lynch has also declared. Rep. Nancy Mace has not filed, has not announced, and has not closed the door, telling Fox News on July 12, 'I would be an idiot not to at least look at it.' This dispatch catalogs the filing calendar, the interim appointment, Nordone's July 18 tribute letter to her brother, Trump's 'RUN, DARLINE, RUN!' endorsement, the Emerson College poll showing Mace at 10 percent, and her own July 12 statements verbatim.

"The one I'm already in": Mace's Senate withdrawal was a statement about the case, made under a gag order that has never been lifted
Rep. Nancy Mace's July 20, 2026 announcement that she will not run for the Senate was, in both the video and the written statement, an announcement about litigation. She said she was leaving the race 'not because I'm backing down from a fight, but because the one I'm already in matters right now,' told supporters she has 'unfinished business,' and dated that business to the day she 'stood on that House floor.' That was February 10, 2025, when she named four men and told them they had 'bought yourself a one-way ticket to hell.' Three of those men are parties to Berg v. Bryant, where a gag order barring comment on the case was extended indefinitely in December 2025 and, on the documentary record, has never been vacated, dissolved, or found expired. It has also never been enforced. Mace contends it is unconstitutional.

"If you import the third world, you will become the third world": Mace's Third World Immigration Moratorium Act
On July 15, 2026, four days after Lindsey Graham's death and as she weighs a run for his Senate seat, Nancy Mace introduced the Third World Immigration Moratorium Act, a bill that would bar entry of aliens from 39 designated countries plus holders of Palestinian Authority travel documents, codifying President Trump's travel-ban proclamation into permanent statute. Her press release framed it as moving to 'slam the door,' and her own words went further: 'If you import the third world, you will become the third world.' This dispatch catalogs the bill, the full country list, its exceptions, and Mace's verbatim statements from her office's announcement.

Mace honors Lindsey Graham after months of public clashes: 'We did not always agree'
After Sen. Lindsey Graham died at 71 from what his office described as a brief and sudden illness, Nancy Mace posted a respectful Instagram tribute calling him a South Carolina giant and acknowledging, 'We did not always agree.' The post landed against a recent public record of friction: during her 2026 governor campaign, Mace demanded that President Trump remove Graham from the Situation Room over Iran, attacked him as sending 'someone else's kids to war,' and months earlier fired back after Graham backed Tim Scott's rebuke of her Charleston airport conduct. The longer arc stretches back to 2014, when Mace challenged Graham in the Republican U.S. Senate primary and finished fifth.

Townhall says Mace is 'already talking' about taking over Graham's Senate seat
Within hours of Sen. Lindsey Graham's death, Nancy Mace was already publicly and privately linked to the scramble for his Senate seat. Axios reported she was 'strongly considering' a run. Fox aired her saying she would 'be an idiot' not to look at the opportunity. Then Mace posted a Godfather clip with the line, 'Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in...' Townhall, writing from conservative media, framed the speed more harshly: 'Just hours after' Graham's passing, 'vultures' in South Carolina politics were already scheming for the empty seat.

'I would be an idiot not to': how Nancy Mace's answer on Lindsey Graham's Senate seat changed across one Sunday
Sen. Lindsey Graham died late Saturday night, July 11, 2026. By Sunday, Rep. Nancy Mace was on CBS, Fox, CNN and her own X account, and her answer on whether she would run for his Senate seat kept moving. She led with grief ('we're stunned'), posted a Godfather meme at 9:43 AM ('they pull me back in'), told Fox 'I'm never going to shut the door' and 'I would be an idiot not to at least look at it,' told CBS 'I would be remiss if I didn't at least consider it,' and by that afternoon told CNN 'we can't afford to lose any seats in the House, I'm not pursuing it' before adding 'there will be time to decide.' Every line is verbatim from her July 12 appearances, reproduced here so readers can judge.

'Just needs a little filler in her face': Mace mocks Charlize Theron amid Ozempic rumors, months after telling Politico she was 'totally broken'
After Charlize Theron drew a wave of Ozempic speculation and health-concern commentary for looking noticeably thinner at the July 8, 2026 Paris premiere of 'The Odyssey,' Nancy Mace joined the pile-on. Replying on July 10 to a post mocking the actress, Mace wrote: 'Just needs a little filler in her face. She'll be fine.' The line lands against a record Mace built herself. In a February 2026 Politico profile she said she got nine tattoos 'in rapid succession' as 'the pain that I need to feel' and called herself 'totally broken,' and her own former consultant testified under oath that during that stretch she was 'drinking too much, and losing a ton of weight.' Her office has said how she chooses to heal 'is her decision alone.' This dispatch places her public words side by side and takes no position on anyone's health.

'You really believe that?': NewsNation's Leland Vittert fact-checks Mace in real time as she goes '100% deep state' on the UFO files
On July 10, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace went on NewsNation's 'On Balance' to talk about the Pentagon's latest UFO file release, and host Leland Vittert spent the segment pushing back on her. When Mace claimed 'three-letter agencies' are blocking UAP documents, Vittert pressed: 'Come on, you really believe that?' and asked whether she really believed that over 80 years these agencies 'have managed to keep secrets from everybody, and nobody has ever spoken out.' Mace answered, 'I 100% think the deep state,' and said it hides information 'not only from the American public, but from elected officials.' Earlier she called one released video 'a cluster of balloons,' said 'I'm not an expert in this,' and later conceded she had 'seen no proof' of aliens. Her words and the host's skepticism are reproduced here in full so readers can judge.

Pro Se: Nancy Mace has lost her lawyers again, this time in her own defamation suit against Eric Bowman
On July 6, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace filed a Motion to Lift Stay in her own defamation case against Eric Bowman, and she filed it pro se, representing herself. On the coversheet she crossed out the entire 'Plaintiff's Attorney' block by hand, wrote 'N/A,' and wrote 'Pro Se.' The motion states she 'is now proceeding pro se in this matter, as reflected in the Notice filed June 30, 2026.' It is the second time in this cluster of cases she has gone without counsel. The three attorneys who filed and briefed the Bowman case for her, local counsel Andrew B. Moorman, Sr. and the two Washington lawyers she brought in pro hac vice, William M. Sullivan, Jr. and Alex G. Anderson, are no longer her counsel of record. A separate notice filed the same day names all three and asks the Clerk of Court to remove them. The complete eight-page motion, and the counsel-withdrawal notice, are reproduced below. Allegations on every side are contested and unproven; Bowman denies Mace's claims and has moved to dismiss, and Mace denies Bowman's.

"Plans to give you hope and a future": Mace posts a Sunday scripture verse, and the reply thread answers back
At 9:00 AM on Sunday, July 5, 2026, Nancy Mace posted Jeremiah 29:11 to X, a serene verse about the Lord's plans 'to prosper you and not to harm you.' The reply thread answered with a pile-on: hypocrisy jabs, scripture thrown back at her, 'MAGA Jesus is not Jesus,' and a handful of amens. Scripture posting is a documented, years-long habit for Mace, and Sunday morning is one of its most consistent slots. This dispatch catalogs the post and the public reaction, lays out the competing readings of why she posts these verses, and takes no position on Mace's medical or psychological state.

'There's no other route': Mace's own cited Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship lays out a third option she didn't mention
Three days after the Supreme Court struck down Trump's birthright-citizenship executive order in Trump v. Barbara, Mace told followers a constitutional amendment is 'the only way' to fix the issue and that 'there's no other route.' The ruling she was citing includes a third path she left out: Justice Kavanaugh's separate opinion arguing Congress could rewrite the existing citizenship statute without touching the Constitution at all, though the majority and legal commentators dispute whether that route would actually survive review.

You don't know anything about MKUltra, which is the purpose of this hearing.
At a June 30, 2026 House Oversight hearing convened specifically to examine the CIA's MKUltra program, Rep. Nancy Mace spent roughly the first two of her five allotted minutes questioning the hearing's non-MKUltra witness about Anthony Fauci, COVID-19 origins, and vaccine side effects. When the witness told her, eight separate times, that the subject was outside her expertise, Mace told her: 'You don't know anything about MKUltra, which is the purpose of this hearing.' Only then, with most of her time gone, did she turn to the witnesses who were actually there to discuss MKUltra.

Was this the voyeurism Nancy Mace was talking about?
Nancy Mace posted that voyeurism is a real issue. The clearest test of what she means is her own May 20, 2025 House Oversight hearing, which she titled 'Breach of Trust: Surveillance in Private Spaces,' where she held up a poster-sized still she said showed her own body and called it nonconsensual hidden surveillance. Maceopedia asks the narrower public-record question her hearing never answered: was that a hidden camera in a private space, or footage from a room with open windows facing a public or shared space? The two are not the same factual claim, and voyeurism turns on the difference.

In an X thread, Mace says the amount should be higher. The public-record receipt says the earlier number was tied to photos.
After Maceopedia resurfaced the Berg-call line about '150K each,' Rep. Nancy Mace replied that the amount 'should be more' and connected the thread to 'what was done to me and others.' The public-record receipt matters because the recorded call discusses a civil lawsuit, photos, and money, not an adjudicated criminal finding.

Remember when Nancy Mace read a CNN guest's "kissy emoji" text into the congressional record?
A look back. On September 19, 2024, Rep. Nancy Mace used part of a House Oversight Committee hearing to enter into the official record a screenshot of a text she said Vanderbilt professor Michael Eric Dyson sent her after they clashed on CNN: "Shh don't tell anybody. We look good together," with a kissy emoji. Dyson denied hitting on her, said it was a joke, and called Mace "a bigot and racist." The clip is circulating again.

"We don't have any faith in our justice system": after the loss, Mace recirculates a February Epstein documentary
On June 18, 2026, nine days after conceding fifth place in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, Nancy Mace recirculated a clip from Tommy G's February 25, 2026 YouTube documentary on the Epstein files, paired with a post declaring a 'two-tiered system of justice' and 'no faith' that co-conspirators will ever be jailed. The clip is nearly four months old; she surfaced it days after framing her defeat as the price of her Epstein-files vote. This dispatch catalogs the posts as public artifacts and takes no position on Mace's medical or psychological state.

"Radical transgender experiments": Nancy Mace's "TRANS MICE Act" goes to war with the transgenic lab mice scientists use to study cancer
On June 18, 2026, Nancy Mace promoted her 'TRANS MICE Act' on X, declaring that 'animals should not be used for radical transgender experiments' and calling it 'ideological cruelty.' The bill, H.R.4512, is real. So is the problem: the mice are transgenic, not transgender. Transgenic mice are genetically modified rodents used to study cancer, endometriosis, infertility and other diseases. Scientists and the research-advocacy group Americans for Medical Progress say the studies have nothing to do with gender identity. The post went viral as a self-own; the photo Mace attached is a standard transgenic research mouse.

Mace calls deporting 'Somalia-first' Ilhan Omar the best '250th birthday present to America'
On June 15, 2026, six days after finishing fifth in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, Nancy Mace posted on X and Facebook that 'there would be no better 250th birthday present to America than seeing Somalia-first Ilhan Omar deported.' Omar, a sitting U.S. representative, has been a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2000, and fact-checkers note U.S. citizens are not subject to deportation. The post is the latest in a running Mace-Omar feud that runs back through her September 2025 censure push and her May 2026 constitutional amendment. This dispatch catalogs the post as a public artifact and takes no position on Mace's medical or psychological state.

‘You tanked yourself’: in a viral Facebook reel captioned ‘Called it,’ Michelle Shara narrates Mace's fall from ‘leading the race’ to ‘bringing up the rear’
A Facebook reel by Michelle Shara, viewed more than 358,000 times, pairs footage of Nancy Mace addressing a Greenville County Republican Party meeting with Shara's own deadpan voiceover. Over the clip, Shara needles Mace about collapsing from an early front-runner to a fifth-place finish in the June 9, 2026 South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary: ‘last time we saw each other, you were leading the race. How have you managed to tank your campaign so badly that you were just bringing up the rear?’ The one-word caption, ‘Called it,’ frames it as a prediction come true. The harsh lines are Shara's commentary, not Mace's words.

'Buried the hatchet': after finishing fifth, Mace concedes the governor's race and endorses Alan Wilson, the rival she spent months branding a 'p*dophile protector'
On the night of June 9, 2026, after finishing fifth in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary with about 11.4% of the vote, Nancy Mace conceded and endorsed the man who advanced to the June 23 runoff, Attorney General Alan Wilson. 'I want a law-and-order governor, and that law-and-order governor is going to be Alan Wilson,' she told supporters, saying that 'in the last couple of weeks, Alan Wilson and I have buried the hatchet.' The endorsement reversed a year of attacks: as recently as November 3, 2025 she had called Wilson a 'p*dophile protector' on X. Wilson has rejected those attacks, his office said Mace 'drastically mischaracterized' prosecution data, and nothing in the exchange is a finding about either man's conduct.

On primary morning, Mace recast a volunteer's megaphone grab as a 'physical assault' by Pamela Evette's 'employees'
On June 9, 2026, the day South Carolina Republicans voted in their gubernatorial primary, Rep. Nancy Mace spent the morning posting about something that had happened the night before outside a rival's campaign stop in Greer. Across three accounts, before 9:15 a.m., she called it a 'physical assault' by 'one of Pamela Evette's employees,' a 'violent' act, and grounds for Evette to 'drop out of the race.' The Greer Police Department incident report describes the same event more narrowly: a man 'ran up to' a protester 'who was holding a megaphone and ripped the megaphone out of his hands,' then handed it to the officers already standing there. The charge was misdemeanor assault and battery in the third degree, citation issued on scene. Evette's campaign said the man, Blake Kirsch, was an unpaid volunteer on its finance committee, not a staffer, and condemned the conduct. Local stations led with 'volunteer' and 'megaphone snatched.' Mace finished last in the primary that day.

Under a gag order barring 'any comment about any aspect of this case,' Mace uses her televised concession speech to talk about 'predators that got away in my case'
On the night of June 9, 2026, after conceding the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, Nancy Mace told her Charleston election-night crowd, and a live television audience, that she had talked to Attorney General Alan Wilson 'about my case' and would help his administration ensure that 'predators that got away in my case … we finally put criminals behind bars.' Mace is a third-party defendant in Berg v. Bryant, where a November 26, 2025 gag order bars every party from 'making or publishing any comment about any aspect of this case' or about any party or person connected to it, and a January 12, 2026 civil-contempt motion over her earlier public statements remains pending. Both orders are reproduced in full below. Mace contends the gag order is unconstitutional; all underlying allegations are unproven and contested, and no court has ruled on the June 9 remarks.
