@Suzierizzo1 That’s who he is. He couldn’t muster up some kindness to ask for another glass of water because he wanted more? Too much hate is being spread by people unnecessarily.

@Revkphil87 @Gianl1974 You know what KAREN, you have “PRAISE GOD IM BLESSED” in your profile while showing ZERO remorse for CANCER PATIENTS. Not all cancer cases are the same. I’m praying for that hate in your heart. My God what kind of society have we become that we can’t show an ounce of compassion.

@atrupar I’m so happy Jeffries ignored her question and talked about what HE wanted to talk about. Republicans do this all the time and get away with it. The media will not challenge the Republican’s lack of humanity but want the Dems to be the adults in the room all the time. Ridiculous

[Good Day 🙂 @angela_ford]

@GOP__Ls Wow, they’re all in siding with the devil aren’t they. I’m not talking about Trump.

@CNN_NewsNight Because we don’t center education AND voting in our country, we’re now in the midst of choosing the lesser of two evils in MANY elections this year.

@TheAfrocentricI I’ve played ball with people like her. They’re insufferable teammates.

On the tour of North Baton Rouge this week, we stopped in Ghost Town to see a house redevelopment project being led by @taneshia.flowers.

A few years ago, Taneshia called me about the challenges she was facing trying to acquire a house across the street from her grandmother. I told her she needed to take her issue directly to Mayor Broome because many of the people she was dealing with simply didn’t have the authority to help. She got the meeting, and the result was her being able to acquire the property.

I wanted to highlight Taneshia’s project because it shows what’s possible when government works with people instead of creating obstacles. It also serves as an example for this administration of how cutting red tape can help move communities forward.

Last year, Taneshia called me again after some kids in her neighborhood got into trouble for jumping a fence to swim in a BREC pool. I reached out to people whose organizations receive funding to serve that community. One response I got was, “You expect me to knock on their door?” My answer was simple: yes.

Those young people needed resources, guidance, and engagement—not arrests. It’s important people know that community members were actively trying to help those kids before things escalated.

A tour with me is never a fluff session. I’m not under contract with the Mayor’s Office or anyone else to do this. I agreed to do this tour because I’ve spent more than a decade pushing for investment in North Baton Rouge. No matter who occupies City Hall, I’m going to advocate for taxpayers in North Baton Rouge to receive the investment and opportunities we deserve.

The question for Mayor Edwards is whether his administration can execute and improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods we toured. Time will tell.

I show up because I care about my people and my community in every season. This is what consistency looks like. No matter who’s in power, I’m going to push for North Baton Rouge while highlighting both what has been done and what is still possible.

Doing my part.

@GaryChambersJr @taneshia Everyday I cannot believe Louisiana didn’t show for you when you ran for senate.

Keep fighting Gary!!

@SeeRacists It’s clear that Satan is very present in a lot of churches.

@ProCDwitKaution @ytspost Agreed. My grandmother raised 6 children, 3 boys. They would NEVER raise their hands to hit her.

[Good Day 🙂 @angela_ford]

@TopGirlKeiko @ytspost Wow, it’s not up to her to save him. I’m praying for that child. He has a dark future ahead of him if there’s no intervention.

[Good Day 🙂 @angela_ford]

@queenie4rmnola @atrupar That devil got big mad.

[Good Day 🙂 @angela_ford]

@atrupar @amsmadwoman THIS is what it looks like when you press people on facts when they constantly lie all the time. This is also the behavior his followers mimic when confronted with facts. They result to insults calling you names. Really sad to watch.

[Good Day 🙂 @angela_ford]

@PollTracker2024 We really are in weird times.

[Good Day 🙂 @angela_ford]

@1zzyzyx1 Let me add that people ignore in this conversation. Racism has no political party. The COMMON DENOMINATOR of racism is WHITE PEOPLE. Both parties had white people and racism still exists today because white people won’t stop being racist. Racism is a white people problem.

[Gary Chambers @GaryChambersJr]

Spent part of Friday showing folks from the other side of town ways we can directly improve the quality of life for tax payers in North Baton Rouge. This park is a 200 acre asset, but it has a bridge down and tires in the park.

This isn’t a new problem. The bridge has been down for over a decade. BREC hasn’t made it a priority but we are spending $50 - $80 million on the LSU Lakes, this trail is less than a mile from Southern University. We can’t continue to invest in one area of town and let the other side sit in decay.

@mayorsidedwards said he wanted people to see the things I showed him. Time will tell if the improvements happen.

I’ve been fighting for North Baton Rouge for a decade. If we don’t speak up for our communities others will define the narrative and we the people end up on the short end of the stick. Speak the truth even when it’s uncomfortable.

Doing my part and then some, always.

This is real life Civics for the People.

When should we be expecting the NYT Deep Dive into Congressman @MaxMillerOH assaulting his wife, the daughter of Senator @berniemoreno?

And the subsequent MAGA chorus demanding his ouster?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Think about all the column inches and headlines devoted to Graham Platner over the past week versus Ken Paxton and then tell me again we have a ‘liberal’ media.

[Good Day 🙂 @angela_ford]

@GOP__Ls I love how all the exposure is happening to people in our government. I look forward to more exposures. These corrupt politicians represents our laziness as voters. People allowed them to live in these seats for decades.
