Congressman Troy A. Carter, representing Louisiana's 2nd district, has shared a series of tweets on March 22, 2025, expressing his views on various political and social issues. The congressman is known for his advocacy in education and democracy.

In a tweet posted at 19:52 UTC, Congressman Carter reflects on the notion of survival as a strategy, stating "Heard a middle-aged white dude say, 'When in debt, get a side hustle ‘til times get better.' Funny how our survival turned into strategy. From the stoop to the Senate, the block to the boardroom—we’ve been the blueprint. NOLA don’t just set trends—we shape policy."

At 20:45 UTC on the same day, he emphasized the importance of the Department of Education and its establishment by Congress. He stated "The Department of Education was created by Congress—through the will of the people. It won’t be abolished by a wannabe king or a billionaire with no mandate. We stand for the Constitution. We stand for our children. We stand for democracy."

Later that evening at 22:39 UTC, Congressman Carter addressed what he perceives as threats to democracy from former President Trump and Elon Musk. He tweeted "Trump and his unelected billionaire co-conspirator Elon Musk are attacking our democracy—but we’re fighting back. 100+ court filings. Congressional action. Community mobilization. This is a battle for the soul of our nation—and we won’t back down."
