Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana's 2nd District in the U.S. Congress, has recently shared his views on various topics through a series of tweets. Known for his dedication to the people of Louisiana, Carter replaced Cedric Richmond in 2021 and has been actively serving since then. His recent social media activity covers issues ranging from federal funding impacts to celebrations of cultural events and legislative achievements.

On January 28, 2025, Congressman Carter expressed concern over freezing federal grant and loan payments. He stated that this action is "a direct attack on everyday Louisianians and our most vulnerable communities." Carter emphasized that the order halts essential funding already approved by Congress, impacting public programs such as the @988Lifeline, leading to job losses and widespread disruption. "Freezing federal grant and loan payments is a direct attack on everyday Louisianians and our most vulnerable communities."

The following day, January 29, 2025, he extended well wishes for the Lunar New Year to those celebrating in Louisiana’s 2nd district and across the country. He tweeted: "Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing everyone who celebrates in #LA02 and across the country prosperity, health and happiness."

Later on January 29, 2025, Congressman Carter expressed pride in being present with President Biden for the signing of the Social Security Fairness Act into law. This legislation repeals certain provisions affecting Social Security benefits. Carter highlighted resources available for more information on its implementation: "I’m proud to have stood next to President Biden as the #SocialSecurityFairnessAct was signed into law."
