RESULT: Sid Gautreaux, the GOP sheriff of Louisiana's most populous parish (East Baton Rouge), has been reelected.

He manages a jail known known for brutal & deadly conditions. Read about it: https://t.co/c8mVi0mb02

There was no Dem challenger on the ballot in this blue parish.

Louisiana's next gov will be Jeff Landry - a man who has pledged to bend NOLA to his will, withheld disaster prevention funds bc city leaders said they wouldn't prioritize punishing ppl who had abortions, + called the consent decree a "hug a thug" policy:

I'll be here tomorrow evening to cover the results.

At @HellGateNY, we let two New Yorkers caught up in a horrific situation tell their stories.

One is a New Yorker who grew up in Kfar Aza, a kibbutz that was hard hit by the Hamas assault.

The other is a New Yorker whose family is trapped in Gaza.

Crime is down, but fear is up: Why is L.A. still perceived as dangerous? https://t.co/Vu8FLOMhvZ

[Richard A. Webster @RichardAWebster]

Jarius Brown says he was beaten by 2 DeSoto Parish deputies. 1 deputy admitted to the beating and cover-up. The 2nd has been indicted. But Brown can't sue bc Louisiana is 1 of just 3 states that demands such lawsuits are filed within a yr. @veritenewsnola https://t.co/awf8DS16uc

my takeaway here is basically that hochul and adams want us to die. she failed to pass any meaningful housing policy, rents climb ever higher, and when we inevitably stumble and lose that housing, we can simply go fuck ourselves -- they hope we just disappear.

[Craig McCarthy @createcraig]

Gov. Kathy Hochul has formally sided with Mayor Eric Adams in his attempt to roll back the city’s “right to shelter” rule in the face of the migrant surge overwhelming the Big Apple, The Post has learned.

FWIW if you’re finding American cable channels a bit useless / talking head’ish right now, Aljazeera English has a lot of correspondents on the ground and is streaming live for free on YouTube

sorry i don’t know if CEO quotes have ever pissed me off more

[Nick Pinto @macfathom]

The tumult at New York Public Radio continues, with a round of layoffs, strategic shifts, and a persistent budget deficit. @HellGateNY takes you inside the contentious all-staff meeting where the CEO tried to reassure staff: https://t.co/yNrg6YJ2J8

[Max RN @MaxRivlinNadler]

If you want to know how badly Rikers Island is deteriorating and how a federal monitor has lost all hope the Adams administration wants it to become safer at all, you need to read @macfathom's searing piece on the latest monitor report.

unsurprising, but repulsive.

[trip eggert (@tripeggert on Bluesky) @tripeggert]
