On March 4th, 2025, Congressman Carter celebrated Mardi Gras with his constituents by posting a message emphasizing the importance of culture and safety. He wrote: "Happy Mardi Gras, #LA02! This is a great time to celebrate our culture and traditions while having a good time with our loved ones. Have fun and be safe, especially with the possibility of severe weather. Laissez les bon temps rouler!"

In another post on the same day at 16:47 UTC, Congressman Carter announced his participation in an event titled "#StateOfThePeople," a response to President Biden's Joint Address which he criticized for spreading misinformation alongside co-president Musk. He invited followers to join the livestream event where he would speak at 12:25 PM EST: "During the #JointAddress, @POTUS will spread misinformation and downplay the harm he and co-president Musk have already caused. Join us for #StateOfThePeople, a 24-hour livestream centered on truth and action."
