Across the United States, public figures and organizations celebrated Mardi Gras with messages of joy, safety, and cultural appreciation. Notably, Majority Leader Steve Scalise received widespread support and congratulations on his complete remission from cancer, marking his return to Capitol Hill. Politicians, including Rep. Troy Carter and Rep. Garret Graves, shared the festive spirit by sending king cakes, a traditional Mardi Gras delicacy, to colleagues, emphasizing the unity and joy of the occasion. The celebration was marked by the familiar call to 'Laissez les bons temps rouler,' a reminder to let the good times roll.
