The Pelican Institute calls Louisiana landowners “outside agitators” for fighting CCS eminent domain. Their CEO came straight from Americans for Prosperity — the Koch network group that spent $70 million trying to stop Trump and backed Nikki Haley. 93.9% of their funding comes from outside Louisiana. RedState calls CCS a boondoggle. DeSantis calls it a scam. Trump put it on a DOE kill list. The Koch network calls your neighbors outside agitators for agreeing. You decide who is really fighting for Louisiana.

Cleo Fields, Jeff Landry, and your tax dollars. Cleo has a 30 year pattern you need to know about. 1997: FBI video catches Fields accepting $25,000 cash from Edwin Edwards, the governor later convicted of federal racketeering, who tells Fields to make sure “everyone is careful how that’s handed out.” Fields is never charged but quietly does not seek reelection. He spends the next 28 years bouncing between the state Senate and private practice, amassing an estimated $38 million net worth on a government salary that never exceeded $20K as a state senator. January 2024: Landry takes office as governor. Cameron Henry becomes Senate President. Fields is immediately handed the chairmanship of Senate and Governmental Affairs, one of the most powerful committee seats in the legislature because the chair controls which bills get scheduled. Fields had quietly supported Landry over Shawn Wilson in the gubernatorial race, helping Landry win the primary. That chairmanship put Fields in direct control of the redistricting process, where he helped draw his own congressional district. November 2024: Fields wins that congressional seat. 2025: His first year in Congress, Louisiana’s Republican legislature appropriates $500,000 to the Louisiana Leadership Institute, Fields’ personal nonprofit. Then Fields is caught buying up to $300,000 in Oracle stock days before Trump’s TikTok executive order made Oracle’s role public. Fields sits on the House Financial Services Committee overseeing capital markets. No charges filed. 2026: Landry signs SB 121 eliminating Fields’ district entirely. Same session, the legislature passes two enrolled bills sending an additional $1.1 million to Fields’ nonprofit. Rep. Jack McFarland chaired the Appropriations Committee that produced HB 1 and authored HB 312. The HB 312 line item contains zero purpose language. Just the name and the number. While this money was moving, the Louisiana Leadership Institute broke ground on a $3 million amphitheater. Total state funding across two sessions: $1.6 million to a sitting congressman’s personal nonprofit. This is the uniparty taking care of itself, protecting itself, and operating like a business, and we are the ones funding it. #lalege #lagov

Auditor finds Orleans Parish School Board exceeded General Fund budget by 75%+, violates Local Government Budget Act, has control gaps on cash collections and IT access. Ethics policies and investment portfolio limits also need updating. Management responds with corrective plans. Fiscal discipline and transparency must improve. App.LLA.state.La.US/PublicReports.…

🚨Today, I'm proud to announce the successful passage of my landmark 24-bill legislative package. Thank you to all the members of the @LouisianaHouse and @louisianasenate who were instrumental in carrying and fighting for these bills throughout the legislative process. Together we are bringing transformative change by holding criminals accountable, protecting our kids from predators, giving voice to victims, and safeguarding the tax dollars of the hard-working men and women of this State. ⚜️ #lalege aglizmurrill.com/Article/528
