Congressman Troy A. Carter, who represents Louisiana’s 2nd district in the U.S. Congress, recently posted a series of messages on his official X account covering topics from honoring military leadership to college athletics and historical remembrance.
On September 20, 2025, Carter extended birthday wishes to a notable figure in New Orleans and national history. He wrote, “Happy birthday to my dear friend @ltgrusselhonore! Our nation, and especially the city of New Orleans, would not be what they are today without his leadership. From commanding the Joint Task Force during Hurricane Katrina to leading the security review of the U.S. Capitol after https://t.co/WexbSsfeNU”.
Later that day, Carter addressed the return of college football while emphasizing athlete protection and policy discussion. He stated on September 20, 2025: “College football is back! While we’re cheering for our favorite teams, we also need to protect young athletes. On episode 5 of What Makes America Tick?, I sat down with @YahooSports’ @RossDellenger to talk about #NIL, the #SCOREAct, and more. Catch it starting Sept. 23 on https://t.co/WWADZ8ZvTe”.
On September 21, 2025, Carter commented on national memory and historical reckoning regarding slavery in America: “.@POTUS may try to sidestep history, but we will not forget what our ancestors endured through slavery and beyond. We cannot erase our past—we must face it, learn from it, and teach it so it is never repeated.
