Later that day, Carter drew attention to severe weather conditions impacting parts of Louisiana. In a post dated July 15, 2025, he stated: “#LA02 — Parts of Louisiana, including @CityOfNOLA and #BatonRouge, are facing extreme heat with temperatures feeling like 110 degrees. As these conditions persist, please stay safe and check in on children, seniors, and pets. Do not leave pets out in extreme weather.”
In another message posted on July 15, 2025, Carter commented on recent actions by the Supreme Court regarding federal employment: “Did you know that #SCOTUS is allowing Trump to fire hundreds of workers at the Department of Education? As Trump continues to fuel disinformation, it’s incredibly dangerous to give him unchecked power over our federal agencies. Firing these workers threatens the future of public”
