Louisiana GOP Sen. Jay Morris ran unopposed in 2023 and is now able to:
a) block a New Orleans folk hero from taking office
b) gut a majority-Black Congressional district
c) personally profit by selling Louisiana for parts to Mark Zuckerberg, thanks to his own legislation

The scene inside the Senate & Governmental Affairs Committee room after the feed was cut off and the hearing recessed. This all followed the exchange between State Senators Gary Carter and Jay Morris. https://t.co/WyF4mVxtOf #lagov #lalege #Louisiana @LAFirstNews

[Piper Hutchinson @ByPiperHutch]

Holding this hearing in Room F, one of the smallest committee rooms in the capitol, is an interesting choice for a hearing with such immense public interest. Historically redistricting hearings have been held in the largest room available. #lalege #lagov

[Jackson G. Voss @jacksonvoss]

Unusually hot in the Louisiana Capitol today (AC is usually blowing pretty hard), and the cafeteria is shut down (overheard someone saying that they were told by staff “we don’t want to feed all these people”).

Lots of folks showing up to speak out for fair maps, regardless

[New Orleans JazzFest @jazzfest]

These folks get together every day if you want to meet up. Have a beautiful Saturday!!

A child has died from a flu infection in Louisiana.

Under @LAGovJeffLandry, the state has stopped doing mass flu vaccinations and the rate of children who have received flu vaccines is lower than the country's. Story from @emily_woodruff_ #lalege

Not an exclusive. New Orleans-based Jambalaya News, a Spanish-speaking outlet, had this first, hours ago: https://t.co/MDdOBQ0VOU

RECORDING ICE: Officers repeatedly yelled at a man who was filming the scene on his cell phone to back up to a 25-foot buffer zone. But there is no legal 25-foot buffer zone, @[149292945786019] reports. https://t.co/iPvuPppAEa

Brian Kelly came to LSU trying to win his first national championship. He never got close.

His three predecessors won titles by their fourth years at LSU. In the midst of his, Kelly is out.
