.@SenBillCassidy when he sees a debate invite in his email.
We’re at the Baton Rouge Press Club Senate forum. @SenBillCassidy lives down the road but refused to attend because either he’s ashamed of his record, doesn’t believe he’s accountable to Louisiana voters, or both. Either way we have to vote him out Nov. 3rd. #FlipTheSenateBlue

.@perkinsforLA has been a fighter all his life. And I know as Louisiana’s next U.S. Senator, he will continue the good fight for quality affordable healthcare, economic opportunity and more. #lapol

Even in the middle of a crisis, partisanship has brought Washington to a standstill. Arizonans want an independent voice in the Senate who can push past party politics to get things done. Can you join me on this mission and chip in $3 today? secure.actblue.com/donate/me…
Sarah Gideon too! Donate! #FlipTheSenate #BlueWave
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a giant for justice, equality, and progress—and my thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time.
The senate needs champions like Adrian. For #RBG, #JohnLewis, and the many others who lost their lives to COVID. We can change the direction of this country y’all 😅 #FlipTheSenate #BlueWave2020 secure.actblue.com/donate/pe…
America has lost one of her great jurists. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trailblazer and icon who championed equal rights in her nearly three decades on the Court. I offer my condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues and join them in mourning this loss. #RBG

Remember when this Senator/Doctor caught COVID after frolicking mask-free around Louisiana? Seems like he changed his tune😷
Just landed @Fly_Shreveport wearing a mask made by @HaspelClothing, which invented the seersucker suit in New Orleans but is now based in Baton Rouge. Lots of Louisiana connections all around.
It’s an honor to serve alongside my brothers @ChokweALumumba, @FrankScottJr, @RandallWoodfin, @LevarStoney, @stevenlouisreed, and @QuintonLucasKC. These are difficult times, but we are working through it together. Thanks to @TODAYshow for telling the story.

You tagged the wrong folks, but while you’re here, Happy #ObamaDay
Serious question. WHAT did the @blkcaucus and @DNC do for #BLM and over all these years Jobs? or FREE OBAMA PHONES or student debt or cars?
Please know, I am an #AmbitiousWoman That #AMBITION some are so concerned about led me to graduate HS at 13. Ambition led me to finish undergrad in 3 years & grad at 16. Ambition led me to start law school at SMU at age 16.....

There is only one tweet that we want anyway, @JoeBiden ⏰
You won't have to worry about my tweets when I'm president.

Mayor of Shreveport Adrian Perkins is running for US Senate in Louisiana. He is an army vet, Harvard law grad, and lifelong Louisiana resident who denied numerous lucrative big city law firm jobs to serve his hometown. #LASen #BlackBoyJoy @PerkinsforLA 💪🏾 xitter.cf/PerkinsforLA/status/12…

✊🏽 thnx Senator
It’s with a full heart that I share this news—I’m suspending my campaign for president. To my team, supporters, and everyone who gave me a shot—thank you. I am so proud of what we built, and I feel nothing but faith in what we can accomplish together.
Says the person cheering Trump and Pompeo’s provocation on #theView. As a self-proclaimed Warhawk, is this what you wanted?
May God be with the brave American men and women serving in our armed forces and their families. Pray for them all. Pray hard for them all.
