I’ve been thinking about Alvin Kamara a lot lately, probably more than I should. Every time another article pops up arguing that the Saints should trade him or let him walk after this season, I read it. Most of them make perfectly reasonable points. He’s 31. Running backs don’t usually get better at this stage […]
Euphorbia Kava & Coffee Bar has never been easy to define, and that’s exactly the point. What started more than a decade ago as a small, alternative social space has evolved into something far more layered: part kava bar, part late-night coffee house, part community hub. Since taking ownership in August 2025, the new direction […]
Tomorrow, District A voters will make a choice that reaches far beyond a single council seat. With New Orleans facing a massive budget shortfall, an overreliance on consultants, and chronic service failures, this election comes down to one fundamental question: who is ready to govern on day one? Aimee McCarron is that candidate. Her grasp […]
Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor of New York City is being treated as a political shockwave. A democratic socialist running the most capitalist city in America feels like a contradiction, but this story isn’t about ideology. It’s about power and who has it, who doesn’t, and what a city owes to the people who keep […]
Editor’s note: Congressman Troy Carter’s full statement can be found here. In a dramatic late-night vote to avert a prolonged government shutdown, a small but pivotal group of Senate Democrats joined Republicans to pass a short-term funding bill; and unfortunately, it’s one that excluded key Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credit extensions. The decision effectively […]

Carter, Sr. condemned a recently-issued USDA directive that restricts grocery retailers from offering special discounts or additional support to families relying on SNAP benefits during a federal funding lapse. The order, highlighted in Carter’s statement on November 2, effectively prevents stores from […]
Editor’s note: The article previously indicated that only Holly Friedman earned the endorsement from United Teachers of New Orleans. The article has been updated to reflect both candidates were endorsed by UTNO. The Greater AFL-CIO has also endorsed both candidates. A Race Bigger Than One District The runoff for New Orleans City Council District A […]
In America, drug narratives are not shaped by science. They are shaped by corporations, political influence, and the algorithms that decide what we see online. The story of kratom proves this point. For years, the FDA has repeated the line that there is “no scientific evidence” that kratom has medical properties. That claim is echoed […]
After more than a decade as one of New Orleans’ most beloved sober social spaces, Euphorbia Kava Bar is entering a new chapter. On August 1st, Scott Ploof, the publisher and owner of Big Easy Magazine, will officially take over ownership of the Oak Street business and relaunch it as Euphorbia Kava and Coffee Bar. […]
In New Orleans, the cost of living keeps rising, but the wages stay still. Rent climbs, Entergy bills spike, insurance becomes unaffordable, and somehow the official solution is always: “Get a side hustle.” But how are you supposed to hustle when you’re already drowning?
