Goodness, about what
I just saw this when looking for my name and where I was quoted in the Saints articles - dying to know more if you remember!
“This is disgusting,” said state Rep. Mandie Landry. “As a taxpayer and Catholic, it doesn’t make any sense to me why the Saints would go to these lengths to protect grown men who raped children. All of them should have been just as horrified at the allegations.”

Lately, SCOTUS' approach to abortion-related speech is that anti-abortion advocates have First Amendment rights and abortion providers/proponents do not. So "crisis pregnancy centers" can lie to patients, but real doctors cannot refuse to give patients anti-abortion propaganda pushed by the state.

This was the moment! They blew it, of course.
Same with ESAs (education scam accounts). They want to defund schools, send the money to themselves, and destroy teacher unions.

According to a secretly recorded conversation between Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill and journalist Lauren Windsor, LARTL is responsible for writing legislation for the state. A screenshot obtained from an anonymous source shows LARTL Executive Director Benjamin Clapper in a group message with several lawmakers in 2022. Clapper wanted to discuss changes to the abortion law with at least Rep. Laurie Schlegel, Rep. Sharon Hewitt, and Sen. Katrina Jackson, though other lawmakers were in the group chat. Also present in the group chat was someone named Gene Mills, which may be Director Gene Mills of the Louisiana Family Forum, though his messages were redacted.
I love when I request needed public info, like communications between a state Senator and an anti-abortion lobbyist, and I'm only allowed to see 24 of 109 documents.
What are they talking about that I can't see?👀 Are they writing more of our anti-abortion policies? (see third pic; my reporting)
That is exactly what they were doing.
I didn’t realize you were from Louisiana!
Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.
Smashed records.

Trump White House told the three Democratic-selected members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to resign by tomorrow or be fired. Ousting them would paralyze the independent, bipartisan watchdog agency.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
Trump's right hand man (literally) just casually giving the Nazi salute... twice.
Scam #lalege
I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.
I brought my nephew to the #Mufasa movie; the messaging was great. Overall, it shows kids how strong we all are when we stand FOR & WITH each other.
Now we’re watching Shrek Forever After for the first time. Fiona leading the resistance! I nearly cried. 🏆
Balance to the hate they see in the news.
This is insane.
Sheriffs never say die.
My current burning question on insurance: how is it that an annual deductible and an annual out-of-pocket maximum are two different things? Makes no sense whatsoever.
All five this year were from republicans!
This is insane.
Epic graphic skills too 💁🏻♀️
(lots of people furious about this! It’s shameful!)
Mine still does this. He is 14!
You’re not wrong. If we don’t change we will never dig out of this hole (of our own making in part).
Republicans are so good at the long game. (This applies in Louisiana as well.) Astounding. #lalege
Crazy this would be 221-214 if insane Louisiana politics hadn’t created a new Dem seat.
My Twitter feed was useless. Hi!!
