Due to weather conditions, the opening of today’s Jazz Fest will be delayed by one to two hours. Please stay tuned for more information. See you this afternoon!
@anniekarni@mikiebarb the one question missing today was HOW are Republicans on the Judiciary Cmte blocking Democrats from replacing Sen. Feinstein; it’s procedural, but I was left wondering how they’re able to do this.
“New Orleans is the primary driver of those wrongful convictions—Orleans Parish, where the city sits, holds the title for having the highest exoneration rate per capita of all major counties in the country”

#Vote today for @LeonRoche4Judge
This election is critical to our judiciary - we need competent, trial-tested, experienced judges in criminal court - especially given our record as a state and city on incarcerations and wrongful convictions and exonerations.
@britainforsyth@SarahHuckabee Firstly, Happy Birthday 🥳🥳🥳

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I kept waiting for the “skit” to end with a live audience applause 🥴🥴🥴🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
🎓🎉 Congrats to New Orleans senior Dennis Barnes who has set a NATIONAL RECORD with offers from 125 colleges totaling more than $9 million in scholarships - more than any other college bound senior in U.S. history. https://t.co/QODn2iYTYB

For our next Secretary of State in Louisiana, I’m for whomever is for expanded access to our elections; extended early voting days (adding Sundays), and same-day voter registration!
Rep. @MattWillard97 is standing up for working families by fighting to increase. HB 162 by Rep. Willard would benefit more than 500,000 Louisiana families, most with children. #LaLege#LaGov
A quick thread.
When I started learning about the history of Reconstruction in New Orleans I found it was (relatively) easy to find histories of male political leaders, Black and White, like Oscar J. Dunn and Anthony P. Dostie
A party that considers "Defund the police" an abomination but "Defund the library" acceptable is not hiding its desires for authoritarianism. https://t.co/ZYqpEs5Slp
For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.
The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇
I’m thankful for @NPR for covering news today - they’re lots of important developments and many or more important than this wall-to-wall coverage of a criminal’s arraignment.
Also, have we learned NOTHING from 2015-16?!???
Hoping for more @AriMelber@JoyAnnReid@chrislhayes
