I expanded Medicaid seven years ago. It has been a blessing for our state. But you still hear an awful lot of foolish talk about it. So at a recent meeting with health care leaders I decided to share some facts. #lagov

I've been contributing to Social Security from every single paycheck I had since I was 18 years old.
I am absolutely floored that more people aren't outraged that Republicans want to end Social Security after all those years of work.
YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SOCIAL SECURITY.

Just finished recording the next Lefty with “Professor” on how we elect a party chair. It’ll drop on Tuesday. In preparing for this episode though, we found lots of peripheral topics we need to share more on in the future — lots to demystify in party politics.

For context, roughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years actually occurred during the 4 years of the Trump administration. That's right. 25% of our entire national debt, all during the Trump years.

House Republicans are on a mission to end wasteful Washington spending.
From now on, if a federal bureaucrat wants to spend it, they have to come before us to defend it.

Louisiana has everything going for it, but is held back by leaders who are stuck in the past.
If Louisiana were just average, we'd all live 4 years longer and get a 33% raise.
