Stephen's legal practice concentrates on commercial litigation, construction defect litigation, and government relations.

Global LNG trade map. If prices are high the exporters benefit and folks in the importing nations pay big bucks. Have a look at which importers see their gas travel through maritime choke points. Great map to ponder when thinking about geopolitics.

Every child learns differently, and every family should have access to quality educational options. Representative Emily Chenevert has consistently championed school choice and the right of private schools to provide diverse learning opportunities free from government mandates and overreach for Louisiana students. Expanding educational freedom gives parents more control and encourages innovation throughout the education system.

Thank you @emilymchenevert !

I never thought I’d have to send this message.

A person’s character is revealed not just by what they say, but by what they choose to bring into the public arena. There are lines that simply shouldn’t be crossed, and invoking the loss of a spouse for political purposes is one of them.

Luke and I were friends up until the day he passed. John Fleming should be ashamed.

Economic growth depends on healthy consumers and healthy businesses. But with energy, insurance, and everyday costs continuing to rise, both are under increasing pressure.

Hey New Orleans, why aren’t we planting trees, 24/7/365, around the City. It’s crazy. We have an 18% tree canopy. New Orleans sits atop the subtropic zone. We’re in a marsh, a wetland. We’re an island surrounded by water. We should be the luscious, greenest city in America by far. Plant trees, lots of Oak trees, all over the city. Don’t stop! Not only are trees great flood mitigators by absorbing hundreds of gallons of water when it rains, they also bring in the shade factor, reducing the “feels like” temperature greatly. It’s summer in New Orleans. Outside of Uptown and Gentilly, maybe parts of Lakeview, not enough trees in the city.

Private schools must be able to survive w/o govt programs, but this is a tragedy. This school serves almost entirely low-income families whose kids’ needs have been ignored by state lawmakers for the past 2 years. SHAME ON THEM. #lalege #lagov https://t.co/Glw6vvMjU4

For John Fleming to post a video using my husband’s death for his own political gain is the most egregious move I have ever witnessed in any race.

I won’t stand for it and I don’t believe Louisiana will either. He should take it down immediately.

Canal Street at Rampart in New Orleans and the French Quarter. The corner where the Hard Rock Hotel under construction collapsed, killing three people. That happened nearly 7 years ago. Time stands still in New Orleans. Still no development on this coveted site. An entryway to the French Quarter. Just crazy. We’ve got to do better. Lost tax revenue

Dr. Alveda King tearing into the Southern Poverty Law Center during a hearing accusing the organization of fueling racial division in the United States while claiming to fight it.

The niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. pointing to allegations referenced in a federal superseding indictment that she says raise serious questions about the group's conduct.

“My family legacy reflects the very truth that America is strongest when we recognize our common humanity… That is why I am troubled by the conduct and messaging of organizations that claim to fight hatred, while profiteering from division.”

Climate lawsuits are seeking billions from American energy producers.

Supporters call it accountability.

Critics call it a backdoor carbon tax—policymaking through the courts—that could raise costs for consumers and weaken U.S. energy competitiveness.

The Supreme Court may soon decide.

@LAGovJeffLandry @LAGOP A dream come true! Finally free of one of the stupidest regulations draining Louisianans of their time and money with little to no increase in safety. This ritual of futility is no more!

Do you recall how bad things were?
This recall IS a stupid idea.

I remember how hard it was to get this passed and into effect years ago, but it was (and still is) a no-brainer. More prepared teachers = better educated kids. Period. Still work left to do, but these are exactly the positive outcomes envisioned. https://t.co/91u8sXLG2Z

Their sacrifice secured freedoms we should never take for granted.

From all of us at Pelican Institute, thank you to those who gave everything for America. 🇺🇸
