On June 19, 1865, news of the emancipation finally reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. Today, we celebrate the progress our nation has made—and acknowledge that the fight for equality is far from over.

The Republican budget won’t just kick people off their health care, it also puts at least 338 rural hospitals at risk of closing. One of those is West Ascension Parish Hospital in #LA02. No billionaire tax break is worth risking the lives of Louisianians. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Conflict serves no one. Israel remains a close and valued ally. Iran’s continued sponsorship of terror threatens global security and innocent lives. America must lead through diplomacy, reject terrorism, de-escalate tensions, and pursue lasting peace for all in the region. —TAC #peaceinthemidleeast

As a Member of Congress, I believe deeply in the power of the 3 C’s: Congress, Courts, and Community. Today, the Courts pushed back on Trump’s executive overreach — protecting Cali’s authority, defending due process, and preserving state sovereignty. The rule of law prevails. —TAC

The Seersucker Suit, popularized in New Orleans by Joseph Haspel, Sr., has been a staple of Louisiana culture and wardrobe for over a century. Proud to celebrate #NationalSeersuckerDay and carry on a classic Louisiana legacy!

This is not just an abuse of power — it’s a warning shot to anyone who dares to serve with integrity. A sitting U.S. Senator, assaulted and handcuffed for doing his job. Him today. You tomorrow. When law enforcement is weaponized, democracy is endangered. Silence is complicity.

Today marks 9 years since the hate-fueled attack at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. We remember the 49 lives lost and honor their stories. In a time of deep division, it’s more important than ever to protect one another and stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ family.

“A governor should be able to handle it, and frankly, if they can’t handle the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn’t be governor.” This is how President Trump feels about communities that have been devastated by natural disasters.

For 13 years, #DACA has transformed lives, strengthened communities, and enriched our country. Now, as it's under attack in the courts, Dreamers face the risk of losing their ability to work and the threat of deportation. I stand with immigrants—this #DACA anniversary and every day.

This is it. After today, no one will be able to say they didn’t realize something was in the bill when they voted for it. This is the last chance for my Republican colleagues in the House to do the right thing for seniors, children, our veterans, and every American they were elected to represent.

At today’s #Homeland hearing, my Republican colleague spoke about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion like they were dirty words. I had the opportunity to ask our witnesses whether they believed it was harming their operations. I won’t let diversity be demonized. youtu.be/6FC3zkSmweY

Did you know that Donald Trump is still targeting public radio and television? @pbs.org and @npr.org are trusted institutions that educate our children, inform the public, and preserve history. They should not be used as political pawns.

Our rule of law doesn’t have a party. Our Constitution doesn’t have a race, gender, or political agenda. It belongs to all of us — and I’ll keep fighting to protect it from abuse, overreach, and tyranny. — Rep. Troy A. Carter, Sr.

Men: Don’t wait until it’s too late. This is bigger than pride — it’s about staying alive. I led a #CBC Special Order Hour to confront the silent crisis in men’s health. From cancer to mental health, we must end the stigma. 💥 Watch. Share. Save a life. youtu.be/iTFH2E-VZqM

Trump has declared more “emergencies” in 100 days than any modern president — not to respond to crises, but to bypass Congress and push his agenda. If everything’s an emergency, nothing is. I’ll keep fighting to defend our Constitution and the rule of law. @reptroycarter

Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” isn’t about tax relief—it’s about erasing Obama’s ACA and Biden’s clean energy wins. 11 million lose health care. 🌍 Green jobs are on the chopping block. 2.4 trillion added to the deficit. This is sabotage, not sound policy. Join us as we fight back. —TAC

Gun violence impacts everyone, but it disproportionately devastates the Black community. t’s past time for action. Words alone won’t stop a bullet. The cost of doing nothing is measured in lives lost. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP09...

The New Orleans Job Corps Center is a lifeline for hundreds of students and staff, helping them build careers in health care, construction, culinary arts, and more. Trump’s cuts to #USDOL are a direct blow to our city’s future. This is shortsighted. www.wdsu.com/article/new-...

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is a disaster—now the CBO confirms it adds $2.4 trillion to the debt and leaves 11 million uninsured. It’s not a plan, it’s a scam—and I’m fighting it every step of the way. #PeopleOverPolitics
