Mardi Gras and Carnival celebrations are coming to an end, and communities are moving towards a time of reflection with the observance of Lent. These communities, and people of any faith looking to make practical changes to protect our planet, should consider embracing “Plastic Free Fridays” during this time. This simple weekly commitment is a […]
If your energy bill feels criminally high, that’s because it is. Entergy New Orleans (ENO) has inflated rates, manipulated regulators, and deceived the public—all while raking in billions. And when money alone wasn’t enough, they straight-up lied—hiring paid actors to fake public support for a gas plant that New Orleanians didn’t want. A Monopoly Playing […]
Republicans love to talk about free speech until they are the ones being criticized. Governor Jeff Landry’s involvement in the suspension of an LSU law professor, the resignation of another under mounting pressure, and the removal of Davante Lewis from the Louisiana Public Service Commission (PSC) prove that conservative free speech advocacy is nothing more […]
It should come as no surprise that the Louisiana Public Service Commission removed District 3 Commissioner Davante Lewis from his position as Vice Chairman on February 19 and replaced him with District 1 Commissioner Eric Skrmetta.

In what is shaping up to be one of the closest presidential elections in modern history, every vote matters. While Vice President Kamala Harris may already have a strong base of support among women, people of color, and progressive voters, there’s a demographic that is often neglected by Democrats—young men. To make inroads with this […]
As the 2024 presidential race heats up, it’s important to recognize that while polls and data offer insights, they don’t always capture the full picture. This analysis reflects my perspective on the state of the race, informed by available data and trends. However, much can still change before Election Day, and any attempt to predict […]
In the decades following World War II, the United States witnessed unprecedented economic growth and prosperity that significantly benefited middle- and working-class Americans. From the late 1940s through the 1970s, the American Dream seemed more attainable than ever. As wages increased, homeownership expanded, and the purchasing power of the average worker was robust. However, this […]
With his first appearance before Judge Wendy Vitter on Wednesday, August 7, Jeffrey Vappie Jr., former NOPD executive security officer and close companion to Mayor LaToya Cantrell, is squarely under the thumb of federal prosecutors. Although Cantrell has not been indicted in Vappie’s case, she is under intense pressure for her own behavior which, according […]
