Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana’s 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, shared his perspectives on current political issues through a series of tweets on March 12, 2025. His statements addressed various concerns including international relations, domestic policy decisions, and an ongoing investigation involving Tulane University.
On March 12, 2025, Congressman Carter criticized former President Donald Trump’s actions in a tweet: “Trump is siding with Putin, selling Teslas on the White House lawn, and gutting Medicaid to hand cash to his MAGA billionaire donors. America isn’t a reality show—it’s our democracy at stake. Democrats are fighting back! #VOTE #SaveDemocracy”.
Later that day, Carter commented on budgetary priorities in another tweet: “MAGA Republicans want a short-term CR that robs the poor to reward their billionaire buddies. America needs a real budget—not political games. Join Democrats to protect Medicaid, Social Security, farmers, education, and our economy. It’s time to govern, not grift!”.
In addition to these remarks, Congressman Carter expressed his concerns about an investigation involving Tulane University via social media: “Today, I sent a letter to @usedgov expressing my deep concern regarding the ongoing investigation into Tulane in New Orleans. I fear that this administration is using the banner of antisemitism to further a political agenda against free speech, institutions of higher education…”.
