No, Rep. Newell. No more "except for Orleans Parish" carveouts. If attorneys can bring their phones into the building, so can the public. It's 2026, people need their phones with them. Not to be met with this bizarre, unevenly-enforced rule at the door. @DIXONMCMAKIN #lalege
HB183 which would prohibit courts from banning cell phones from entering courthouse buildings was deferred as more information is gathered. The bill is needed in Orleans Parish. Court Watch NOLA reported on this problem. Thank you, @DIXONMCMAKIN for bringing the bill. 👏 #lalege
👏 Way to go, Memphis. Proud of New Orleans, state, and federal governments for taking some similar steps and seeing impressive results, too. Have to keep them in place — and keep going. Particularly with a problematic DA and judges. These initiatives work. #lalege #lagov
Memphis was one of the most dangerous cities in America. It’s now becoming a model for how to fight crime when you have a terrible DA. From the peak: - Murders down 47% - Carjackings down 48% - Robberies down 51%. - Vehicle theft down 80%. What changed: 1. State troopers took
👏 HB211 passed the House 70-28. @d_villio Unfortunately, despite persistent homelessness-related safety/quality of life issues in New Orleans, almost every Orleans rep voted against it. #lalege 📰 Lawmakers advance bill criminalizing homeless encampments fox8live.com/2026/04/09/lou…
Sen. Duplessis: How disrespectful to not seek out New Orleans politicians' input. Also Sen. Duplessis: You said "low-hanging fruit." That sounds racist. Good grief. #lalege

As @McmathPat 's SB 43 moves through the House, I asked LDH Secretary Bruce Greenstein his thoughts on psychedelic drug treatments for mental health issues like PTSD. This, after @POTUS approved a national framework for the treatment. #lalege @WAFB
"If a judge chooses to hand down weak sentences to known violent actors... to turn violent offenders loose... I am going to call them out individually, publicly, clearly & directly." 👏 @LAGovJeffLandry. Will New Orleans leaders make this same commitment? Why not? #lalege #lagov
Did anyone else catch this Baton Rouge shoutout today from Justice Amy Coney Barrett during oral argument on Trump v. Barbara? "What happens to Indians who are actually not on the reservation but maybe born say in Baton Rouge?" She's definitely from Louisiana! #SCOTUS #lalege
Sen. Bill Cassidy says he has delivered for Louisiana as he campaigns to win a third term. Many political pros don't think he can win #lalege #lagov theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne… via @theadvocatebr

A Michigan state representative. What do you think, #lalege and @LAGovJeffLandry?
I’m working on a bill to force Michigan courts to make public their fail to appear rates and how many fugitives each judge is responsible for releasing back into neighborhoods. Then we can get you this data @JohnnyFSE

"The only person that could have saved this girl was that judge [Leon Roche]." @SHAYOCONNORWDSU reported dozens of probation violation notifications were ignored by Judge Roche which, in turn, allowed Thursday's French Quarter mass shooting to take place.
We don’t have to live like this. The way @CityOfNOLA has been handling homelessness is inadequate. Must also have an enforcement mechanism to uphold safety and quality of life standards. Pass HB211. #lalege
For those opposed to this, please take a look at my front door. I look forward to your response.
Don’t want JBE to run again; change the rules. Don’t want Cassidy to win; change the rules. Don’t want a Clerk of Court to take office; change the rules. See a pattern here? That’s about as Kingfish as it gets. #LaLege
Rep. Bayham after his gubernatorial term limit bill failed to pass. #lalege
The Arkansas Senate just passed HB1005, the Department of Education budget which fully funds Education Freedom Accounts, and the bill will now head to the Governor's desk. Thanks to Governor Sanders and the legislature for funding this program for nearly 50,000 Arkansas

Both house and senate members are in the senate chamber for a memorial to Allyce Trapp Alexander, a lobbyist who sadly died of cancer at age 31. Lawmakers are passing a resolution in her honor. She was one of the nicest people who worked in this building #lalege #lagov

A slide at the hearing shows how many Orleans assistant DA positions are being funded by the state relative to the number of cases filed here; compared to DAs in other parishes and their performances (gold box emphasis mine). #lalege

Blake is right. @NOLACityCouncil has a Criminal Justice Committee that *should* be taking notice of these eye-popping issues in the DA's office — and holding the DA accountable. Their meetings, however, are more like show-and-tell sessions. Certainly not probing like #lalege.
He's used to manipulating left-wing ideologues (incl. the @NOLACityCouncil), or 2-3 jurors on a panel he can pick off with the race card, and ran into a group which was completely unphased by it. Pointing at us and claiming this hearing was "because of tweets" also bombed.
SB207 would increase the time limit to 10 years for prosecution of public corruption crimes committed by elected officials or public employees. It passed the Senate 24-12. Every Orleans senator voted against it. #lalege
Four #lalege members are running for city positions. Royce Duplessis (Mayor), Delisha Boyd (City Council at Large), Matthew Willard (City Council at Large), and Jason Hughes (City Council District E). All run on public safety. Here's how they voted on crime session bills.

The gun went off *in the classroom* in February; he was only put on an ankle monitor. He failed to charge it, so Commissioner Jermaine Guillory downgraded him to phone monitoring. Now he’s a person of interest in the mall shooting. More deadly judicial failures. #lalege #lagov

The Louisiana Legislature has NO right to remove officials elected by the people. Legislation that seeks to eliminate an office after the people have already spoken at the ballot box is not just misguided. It is a direct affront to the very core of our democracy. Read my full

Property insurers and reinsurers are making healthy profits, years into a crisis that has hammered south Louisiana communities. That also means that reinsurance costs are falling. Will home insurance premiums drop as a result? My story: #lalege #lagov
🎡 Good work, @NOPDNews. But Garcia was arrested for second degree murder in 2022 and burglary with a firearm in February. He was free to allegedly commit this murder yesterday in Bayou St. John. What will it take to get killers off our streets? @LAGovJeffLandry #lalege

Louisiana's second-largest home insurer cut rates this month, citing lower reinsurance costs. But a closer look reveals Louisiana is stuck in a pattern of high costs--and most homeowners continue to see rates go up. #lalege #lagov
