The company that’s financing 80% of the $27 billion data center in Richland Parish is in a bit of a pickle.

There’s a hearing in the #lalege Senate Jud. B committee Tuesday morning to debate a bill by Sen. Katrina Jackson-Andrews to ban sports prop- and micro-bets.

Here’s why we think it’s an idea worth considering👇

This is one of the best ideas ever. We need a mass movement to name them the Kenner Bruhs. @PelicansNBA
Rod Walker@RodWalkerNola
Not naming them the Kenner Bruhs seems like a missed opportunity for the #Pelicans G league team in Kenner that will be called the Laketown Squadron.

HB750 by Rep. Vincent Cox, to make it just as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up for one, passed unanimously out of #lalege House Commerce Committee this morning.
On to the House floor!

Tired of getting stuck in “subscription traps”? Us too. Monday, Rep. Vincent Cox will be presenting HB750 in #lalege House Commerce Committee. Inspired by the federal Unsubscribe Act, which is co-sponsored by @SenJohnKennedy, this Click-to-Cancel bill would end those traps.

Louisiana congressman Clay Higgins touts surveillance of his political opponents
Rep. Clay Higgins@RepClayHiggins
Media: “Congressman Higgins, you’re a MAGA Republican, so why did you say that the No Kings rallies were a success?” Me: “Because we were carefully observing Ma’am. Liberals gathered predictably, weather cooperated, crowds were thin but they tended to linger and pose… it was pretty much a flawless operation. We have millions of digital images, billions of identifying data points. Height, weight, shoe size, tattoos, gait… all of it. AI eats that stuff. Success.”

🎉Yesterday, HB712, by @DeeBoydBroker, passed the #lalege House 87-1.🎉
It waives the $25 driver’s license or state ID fee for unhoused Louisiana residents.
Getting an ID can be a major barrier for unhoused people seeking jobs, housing & education. 712 lowers that barrier.

Just put everything back in the jungle primary. The party labels don't really mean so much here. In fact they add a layer of confoundment to our politics. #lalege

Senate votes 35-0 for Sen. Alan Seabaugh bill to return the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education elections to the open primary system. Removing BESE from closed party primaries estimated to save $5.4M each BESE election cycle. SB49 heads to House for debate. #lalege
