Honored to receive the Life & Liberty Award from the @lafamilyforum in recognition of four bills I passed this session aimed at protecting children online. The online exploitation of minors is exponentially on the rise, and protecting children in the digital world must remain a priority. I’m grateful for the recognition, but even more grateful for the opportunity to do work with my colleagues to help keep Louisiana’s kids safe.

Thank you @AGLizMurrill for your exceptional work. For the last 5 years, protecting kids online has been one of my top legislative priorities. This is a huge win for Louisiana’s kids! Great job Liz!!!!
🚨BREAKING: Louisiana to receive over $180 million dollars in Meta Settlement. This settlement is an earthquake when it comes to child safety reforms and Big Tech accountability. This isn’t a payoff—it’s meaningful reform that gives Louisiana the tools we need to focus on the safety of our children in the digital world. aglizmurrill.com/Article/616

Great day for Louisiana! It was amazing to join Gov. Landry and my colleagues for the launch of the SpaceX project that will bring a $100 billion dollar investment to Louisiana and thousands of jobs.
Starbase Louisiana will ultimately have over a dozen launch towers, enabling more than 30 Starship flights per day and making it the biggest launch site on Earth! SpaceX makes sci-fi real.

My favorite bill I authored this session requires online platforms to have clear and conspicuous mechanisms to report child exploitation. People should not have to search for a way to report that children are being exploited on their sites. The “Protect Act” PLATFORMS REPORTING ONLINE TRAFFICKING, ENTICEMENT, AND EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN TIMELY will go into effect on August 1. legis.la.gov/legis/ViewDocum…

Congratulations to our future U.S. Senator, Julia Letlow! She will make history as Louisiana’s first Republican woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. We know she will represent our state with strength, grace, and conviction. Proud of you, Julia!

Joined education leaders this morning to celebrate Louisiana leading the nation in education! Check out our new national rankings!
Louisiana is leading the nation. The latest Education Scorecard shows Louisiana is No. 1 among states in reading growth, No. 2 in math growth, and the only state to surpass 2019 levels in both reading and math. Learn more: ow.ly/1XeJ50YZaxB #laed #lalege #lagov

The ruling against Meta Platforms and Google makes one thing clear: Big Tech isn’t doing enough to protect our kids. Here in Louisiana, we’re stepping up—including our lawsuit against Roblox Corporation for failing to protect children from predators. We’re not backing down until these companies do their part to keep our kids safe. foxbusiness.com/technology/j…

It’s time for America to choose: will the most powerful technology in history be used to harm children, enrich the powerful, and risk American lives? Or will we build it with the values that make America great? We can build AI the American way. We must choose a Better Future.

HB68 is a measured but firm effort to protect houses of worship and the people who gather there to deter what happened in Minnesota from happening in Louisiana. legis.la.gov/legis/ViewDocum…

Technology is infiltrating face-to-face interactions, as smart glasses gain popularity and become more discreet. One Louisiana lawmaker wants to ensure that everyone involved in recorded conversations is aware. wbrz.com/news/smart-glasses-…

Just out of court. Roblox has effectively created a park for sex predators and is both recruiting our kids to it and profiting from it. Today, they tried to avoid responsibility for the public safety hazard they have created. We will hold them accountable.

Louisiana is doing great things for kids in education and the nation is taking notice! @doelouisiana
A NYT piece is praising these three red southern states for turning their educational systems in a dramatic way, calling them the ‘best hope in schooling,’ after each rose through the ranks in math and reading metrics.

The rest of the country is beginning to realize what we have been saying here in Louisiana: our education system is drastically improving. The @nytimes just released an article saying Louisiana is one of the states with the most hope when it comes to schooling. When we empower parents and let teachers teach, our children succeed!

It was a great day with @EDSecMcMahon and education leaders celebrating Louisiana’s stellar students, academic success, and American history at @WWIImuseum
Students from across Southeast Louisiana joined @EDSecMcMahon, @CadeBrumley, @BESE_LA, and the Louisiana America 250 Commission to honor civic leadership and explore the sacrifices that shaped our country at the @WWIImuseum. #laed #lalege #lagov

What happened at a church service this weekend in Minneapolis is unacceptable. That's why I'm taking action to strengthen existing Louisiana law to ensure that anyone who tries to interrupt or intimidate people at a religious service is held accountable in Louisiana.
