New from me:

Meta has promised to pay for power for its Louisiana data centers. But regulators found that Entergy's planned $1.8 billion acquisition of a gas plant--costing regular people $8 a month--is only needed because of Meta.

BREAKING: The proposed US-Iran peace deal includes a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, per NYT.

The program is being called an international "investment fund," which the US would facilitate in the final deal.

This comes as Iran demands "reparations" to end the war.

BREAKING: The Louisiana Senate passed a disturbing anti-homeless bill that pushes homeless people into jails, forced treatment, and unpaid labor. Hours earlier, the same lawmakers voted to give themselves $1,000 to cover housing expenses, recognizing housing is too expensive.

Louisiana legislators are rapidly advancing a bill that would hide from the public how much public money is being paid to college athletes. #lalege #lagov

Reporter: “To what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal? [with Iran]”

Trump: “Not even a little bit…. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation”

The Louisiana House voted 78-14 for a bill to transfer Confederate monuments that have been removed to state parks, where they would be on display again.

@LouisianaLtGov said this is about moving monuments removed in New Orleans in 2017. #lalege

Leona Tate is testifying against racist congressional maps right now. "I walked through that mob once, I feel like I'm still walking through it. Please do not make me have to keep walking against you." #lagov #lalege #louisiana #fairmaps #redistricting

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

There have been only four Black congressmen elected to the U.S. House from Louisiana since Reconstruction.

They’re all in this photo.
