The 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is one week from today. Even though it has been two decades, New Orleans is still recovering. I joined @WWNO’s “Sea Change” podcast to talk about the lessons we’ve learned and where we still need to go. Our city is nothing if not.

Today we recognize our senior citizens, or as I like to call them, seasoned citizens. They’ve given so much to our communities and deserve our deepest appreciation. Yet Trump has cut Medicaid and wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and other programs they rely on. I’ll keep

The Mississippi River is vitally important to Louisiana’s economy and way of life. We need to protect it. I was proud to lead a letter with @RepEzell urging the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy & Water Development to provide at least $7.5 million to fund the study that makes.

I joined @HomelandDems in sending a letter to @Sec_Noem demanding accountability for the disastrous rollout of #FY25 Homeland Security preparedness grants. These vital programs are meant to help communities prevent terrorist attacks and other disasters, but the Trump admin’s.

It was an honor to join @Amtrak in launching the Mardi Gras Service Line! I’m proud to have helped craft and pass the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw with President Biden that made this possible. This is a major step forward for Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. Let’s ride! 🚆

Medicaid fraud isn’t the poor — it’s insurers cashing checks for the dead. Trump’s Big Ugly Law rewards the rich while punishing the vulnerable.
