If HB 648 doesn’t become law, we will be sending a horrible message to our children. This isn’t complicated. Our kids deserve to know that they are loved, valued, and perfect just as God created them. #lalege

Let us not forget: one of Lake Charles’ own, Tomeu Vadell, lived through a nightmare at the hands of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. The details are as horrifying as they are unforgivable. Vadell was lured to Venezuela right before Thanksgiving in 2017 to attend a meeting at PDVSA headquarters. Once there, he and five other Citgo executives were hauled from a Caracas conference room by masked security agents. A Venezuelan judge later convicted the six executives of embezzlement and sentenced them to between eight and thirteen years in prison in a trial marred by delays and irregularities. U.S. officials have said the men were used as political bargaining chips by the Maduro regime. While imprisoned, Vadell was held in an overcrowded, windowless, basement dungeon cell with eight other men. He was not allowed outside for months at a time and wasted away, losing more than seventy pounds. His family suffered immensely as he endured brutal conditions for a crime he did not commit. As Vadell himself said, he and his family suffered greatly and continue to suffer. This is the true nature of the Maduro regime: arbitrary arrests, sham trials, dungeon prisons, and innocent people used as political pawns. Thank you to Donald Trump for standing up to Maduro and ensuring that this kind of evil no longer goes unanswered. God bless America.

I was proud to support legislation here in Louisiana banning transgender surgeries for minors here in Louisiana. Great to see the federal government following our lead. x.com/jeremystine/status/166…

This is possibly the most alarming act of treason since the Lincoln assassination. For an outgoing president to engineer a coup against a succeeding president is unthinkable in America. I knew Tulsi Gabbard would be the most effective Cabinet member.

Louisiana DOGE worked with LDH/OMV/LLA to finally run residency checks on LA Medicaid recipients. The findings: $75M/year being spent for people who don’t live in LA! We’re taking action to end these ineligible benefits on May 31. This will save taxpayers $75M a year!

Louisiana: I need your help. This Saturday, March 29th, I’m asking you to vote YES on Amendment 2. It gives teachers a permanent raise, lowers your income taxes, and doubles the tax break for seniors. Amendment 2 also limits how fast government spending can grow, protects tax breaks for churches and homeowners, and helps pay down our state debt. Amendment 2 means more money in your pocket and a stronger Louisiana for all of us. Please vote YES this Saturday, March 29.

Congratulations @TulsiGabbard!

The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order. That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.

🚨 Proud to Support Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence! 🇺🇸 Eighteen years ago, Tulsi Gabbard and I met while we were both working on Capitol Hill, and we became fast friends. We’ve stayed in contact over all these years, and I’ve had the privilege of watching her unwavering dedication to our country firsthand. Tulsi is loyal, trustworthy, and a true American patriot—qualities that make her the perfect choice to lead our intelligence community. She has always put service above self, whether in uniform, in Congress, or as a leader in national security discussions. Her deep understanding of global threats, commitment to protecting American values, and ability to bridge divides will make her an outstanding Director of National Intelligence. I have no doubt that she will serve with honor, integrity, and a relentless commitment to the truth. America needs strong, principled leadership in our intelligence agencies, and Tulsi is the right person for the job. I wholeheartedly support her nomination and look forward to seeing her continue to serve this great nation! #TulsiGabbard #DNI #NationalSecurity #Leadership #AmericaFirst #lalege

I want to congratulate my good friend, Justice Cade Cole, on his election to the Louisiana Supreme Court! @judgecadecole will stand firm in defending our Constitution and ensuring the protection of our families through his commitment to justice and the rule of law.

A big win for Louisiana and our Nation. Proud to stand alongside @TulsiGabbard and @AGLizMurrill, two leaders who have been at the forefront in fighting for women and protecting Title IX. #lalege

I am delighted that the French Ambassador to the United States, Mr. Laurent Bili, has decided to visit us in Louisiana, the most French-speaking state in our country. France and Louisiana share a language, a culture, a history and above all economic and strategic interests, particularly in the energy sector. My region of southwest Louisiana is the largest exporter of liquefied natural gas or LNG in the world and much of that energy goes directly to France. Unfortunately, recent decisions by the Biden administration have prevented us from producing more LNG and risk endangering this essential and reliable source of energy for France and all of Europe. Russia's war in Ukraine has highlighted the need for energy sovereignty and the importance of reliable and democratic energy partners for France and for Europe. In Louisiana, we will continue to develop this bilateral relationship that is economic, political and cultural. We hope to have your support, Mr. Ambassador, to convince the Biden administration to reverse these erroneous and harmful decisions for the future of Franco-American friendship. Welcome to Louisiana and Vive la France. #lalege #LNG #LNGexports @TotalEnergies @ENGIEgroup @Cheniere @TellurianLNG @sempra @SempraInfra @Venture_Global

Great news Louisiana! Blue Cross Blue Shield has hit the pause button on the proposed sale to Elevance Health. Let me extend my heartfelt gratitude to all constituents and the healthcare community for raising their voices against this lopsided proposal. This victory wouldn't be possible without your support. However, this pause is just the beginning. We believe this questionable proposal should never resurface. Let's make sure this isn't just a pause, but a stand against conflicts of interest and breaches of fiduciary duty. We demand accountability. We call upon all 1.9 million members to voice their concerns and help ensure a transparent, ethical future for Blue Cross. Join me in urging both the CEO and its board of directors to step down. Together, we can safeguard the integrity of our healthcare system. Let this be a resounding message that such proposals should never threaten our community again. Thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we can shape a healthier Louisiana. #lalege

I remain opposed to the proposed sale of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana to Elevance.   When Elevance, an out-of-state for-profit corporation acquires companies across the country, premiums go UP and service levels go DOWN.   Join me in voting NO to the sale of Blue Cross Blue Shield to Elevance….and prioritize PEOPLE over profits. #lalege

Blue Cross is seeking state approval of sale to Elevance. The fight over the deal is heating up. theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/… via @theadvocatebr @lamedsoc @JeremyStine #lalege

Thanks to @LAGovJeffLandry’s leadership, Southwest Louisiana secured a better deal to fund a new I-10 bridge. The previous administration’s failed negotiation skills resulted in higher prices for tolls. Gov. Landry’s deal proposal promises a 25% cost reduction and introduces a fair toll system with a flat rate discount for all locals. #lalege
