They won the vote—by just ONE. That’s no mandate. We stood for 30+ hours fighting cruel cuts to healthcare, Medicaid, and support for veterans, kids, and working families. This round may be over, but the fight isn’t. #WeWontQuit #KeepFighting
Today marks the 35th anniversary of the #ADA, a landmark #CivilRights law that has transformed millions of lives by prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities. Let’s celebrate the progress we’ve made, and keep fighting for equity, access, and justice for all.…
We know that #ACA premium tax credits help make marketplace coverage more affordable for individuals and families ineligible for Medicaid. It’s essential that we continue to both strengthen Medicaid and extend the ACA premium tax credits. As a result of Republican's #BigUglyLaw,…
When profits come before people, everyone loses. The Trump Administration just gave 12 petrochemical plants in Louisiana a free pass to delay life-saving pollution rules until 2028. These rules would have cut cancer-causing emissions by 6,200 tons a year and reduced cancer risks…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: ICE agents should not be wearing masks and hiding their identities. I joined my @HomelandDems colleagues for a shadow hearing to discuss the issues with Trump’s immigration system that @HomelandGOP are avoiding.
When the heat rises, so must we. This cooling center network started when our community—neighbors and faith leaders brought the idea forward to me for funding. I was proud to help secure $3.9 million in federal funding—the largest solar investment of its kind—to make their…
Proud to have secured $3.9M in federal funding—the largest solar earmark of its kind—to launch New Orleans’ cooling centers. Grateful to work with Broadmoor leaders, pastors, and churches who developed and brought this idea to me. Grateful to the Mayor & City Council who also…
This is what happens when the last Seersucker day of the year and #SneakerDay overlap!
#Louisiana, I want to make sure you have access to the information and federal resources you need. Next week, I’m hosting a town hall in #LA02 so I can hear directly from you. I’m also holding resource fairs beforehand featuring federal, state, and local agencies! Find more info…
What a surprise to visit with Mahmoud Khalil today — and to have him thank me for visiting and supporting him while he was wrongfully detained by ICE in Louisiana for speaking his mind. I’m glad he’s free and reunited with his son, but it’s sickening he was ever put through this…
Congratulations to my dear friend Dr. Joseph Bouie, Jr. on being named the 10th Chancellor of @SUNOKnights! Dr. Bouie is a proud SUNO alumnus, a Louisiana State Senator, and a proven leader who I know will bring great things to this illustrious university.
Do you know what “cracking” means in redistricting? Let me explain how Republicans are using it right now to silence minority voters in the very communities they’ve already harmed with their #BigUglyLaw. #TuesdayTidbit
History often warns us that authoritarianism doesn’t arrive overnight — it creeps in through leaders who manipulate fear, power, and national pride. We must ALL stand together against this— Republican and Democrats!
The American people deserve transparency. Why are Republicans refusing to release the Epstein files? What are they so afraid of us finding out? #Accountability
If there’s “nothing to hide,” why are Republicans blocking the release of the Epstein files? Who’s on those lists they don’t want us to see? #TransparencyNow
#RiskRating 2.0 has made flood insurance a tremendous financial burden for families and businesses in Louisiana and across the country. That’s why I’m calling on @HomelandGOP to subpoena the officials in charge of flood insurance at @fema to release the details they've been…
