As a former small business owner myself, I understand the passion, dedication, and hard work needed to run a small business. This #SmallBusinessSaturday, let’s support our local entrepreneurs by “shopping small” this holiday season.

The #EPA has moved to abandon the soot rule. You have got to be kidding. This move is beyond irresponsible. It is dangerous. It is an attack on the health and well being of our people. For the Trump administration to walk away from lifesaving soot standards is pollution letting at its worst.

Former Sheriff Mike Cazes devoted his life to protecting and serving the people of West BR Parish, faithfully leading as sheriff for five terms. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose legacy of service and compassion will long be remembered in Louisiana and beyond.

On #RuralHealthDay, we recognize the vital role rural providers play in keeping our communities healthy. Everyone deserves access to quality health care—no matter where they live. That’s why I will always stand against cuts to #Medicaid that would devastate rural hospitals in states like #Louisiana.

I voted to release the Epstein files because the American people deserve to know the full truth about the Epstein criminal network and how this convicted sex offender was able to operate for decades. Today’s vote is a victory for transparency, accountability, and—most importantly—survivors.

Don C. Hubbard is a towering New Orleans civil rights leader whose work helped desegregate our city and open doors that had long been closed. From CORE activism in the 1960s to decades of community leadership, he pushed New Orleans toward justice with courage and conviction.

While Republicans took a 43-day vacation, I stayed with #HouseDems working for you in both D.C. & #LA02. I spoke with constituents about the shutdown, the importance of #ACA tax credits & #SNAP benefits, fought for voting rights as #SCOTUS heard arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, & much more.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Jim Bernhard, a giant of Louisiana industry and a powerful force for progress in our state. Jim was more than a business leader. He was a visionary who built opportunity where others saw obstacles.

I was proud to join Dillard University for the ribbon cutting of their new off-campus residence hall. This beautiful new facility will house more than 200 students and represents another step in Gentilly’s continued renewal since Hurricane Katrina.

Tonight, I voted NO on the disastrous Republican budget because it abandons the very people we were sent here to serve—working families, seniors, and children who depend on affordable health care.

Did you know that 80 percent of voters, including 82 percent of swing voters, believe the Trump administration should prioritize domestic issues over the Argentina bailout? The American people are focused on the issues that affect their everyday lives like affordable health care and groceries.

I’m grateful that #SCOTUS has denied the request to revisit the landmark marriage equality decision. Every person deserves dignity, respect, & the freedom to marry the person they love. This ruling reaffirms that those rights are not up for debate. This is a win for equality, democracy, & love.

On episode 7 of “What Makes America Tick?” I sat down with my friend @seiu.org President April Verrett. We discussed the power of labor unions in supporting workers, breaking cycles of generational poverty, and dismantling structural racism.

We’re now nearly 40 days into the #RepublicanShutdown, and Donald Trump and #MAGA Republicans are doubling down on the harm by fighting a federal court order to pay November SNAP benefits in full. They are weaponizing hunger for political gain. YOU deserve better!
