Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana’s 2nd district, has been vocal on various issues through his recent social media posts. His tweets address concerns about proposed government funding bills, the use of continuing resolutions in Congress, and an upcoming event discussing current political administrations.

On March 11, 2025, Congressman Carter expressed his opposition to a proposed government funding bill by House Republicans. He stated that the bill "betrays the American people" and emphasized his readiness to support a bipartisan agreement. However, he made it clear that he would not back any legislation that "cuts veterans' benefits, strips away health care, and evicts families from their homes." "House Republicans have proposed a government funding bill that betrays the American people. I am ready and willing to support a bipartisan agreement, but I will NOT support a bill that cuts veterans' benefits, strips away health care, and evicts families from their homes."

Later on the same day, Carter addressed the concept of a "Continuing Resolution" (CR) in another tweet. He explained its role as a temporary measure used when Congress fails to pass a full budget. He pointed out the recurring issue of Congress scrambling to keep the government open instead of making responsible long-term decisions. "What is a “Continuing Resolution” and Why Should You Care? Ever wonder why Congress is always scrambling to keep the government open? A continuing resolution (CR) is a temporary fix when Congress fails to pass a full budget. Instead of making responsible long-term decisions,…"

In another tweet posted shortly after, Congressman Carter announced an event where he will be hosting with Representative Gregory Meeks on Instagram Live. The discussion aims to address issues related to what he refers to as the "chaotic Musk-Trump administration" and their policies. The event is scheduled for March 12 at 10 AM EST. "Tomorrow I will be hosting the @WTFshow2025 with @RepGregoryMeeks to talk about the chaotic Musk-Trump administration and their dangerous policies. Join us on Instagram live tomorrow at 10 AM EST!"
