Nov. 1, 1966 — On All Saints Day, at the Pontchartrain Hotel on St. Charles Avenue, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, joined by House Majority Leader Hale Boggs and Senate Majority Whip Russell Long, announced that the City of New Orleans had been awarded the league’s newest franchise. Unknown publicly at the time was that Rozelle had cut a secret deal with the two powerful members of Louisiana’s congressional delegation. In return for Boggs and Long’s support for legislation containing an antitrust exemption that would allow the NFL to merge with the American Football League, the Commissioner ensured that the Crescent City got its own professional football team. #LaLege #WhoDat

A new poll shows voters are focused on what hits their wallets hardest: health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs. 66% want candidates committed to lowering premiums. That's the priority voters are sending. votersforcures.org/in-the-ne…

EVERY Senate Democrat just joined 94% of House Democrats in voting AGAINST banning congressional stock trading. @repBryanSteil’s Stop Insider Trading Act is the accountability the American people demand. But every Democrat blocked it from becoming law.

An awesome way to start the week speaking to the Monroe Chamber of Commerce about the amazing development and opportunities taking place across our State! For too long, Louisiana was a State with tremendous potential, but we weren’t seizing it— those days are over, and the growth in North Louisiana is a testament to this!

If Biden never dropped out, you would've been hearing 9 to 5 on your TV screen. Shame this never ran.
BREAKING: Country music legend Dolly Parton has died at 80. The Tennessee icon behind "Jolene," "9 to 5," and "I Will Always Love You" leaves behind a career spanning nearly seven decades, crossing music, film, and business while becoming one of the most beloved figures in country music. Parton's death comes after she recently opened up about ongoing health struggles while insisting she was still working and looking ahead to new projects.

China now runs nearly a third of all drugs in development and just passed the U.S. in clinical trials. MFN price controls don't fight that threat — they hand Beijing the win by starving American biotech of the revenue it needs to compete. breitbart.com/politics/2026/…

One of my favorite DeSantis Covid moments: 🤣
Ron DeSantis still doesn’t get enough credit for what he did during COVID. Despite enormous pressure from Fauci and his political and media partners, DeSantis ended masks, resisted lockdowns, and opened schools Proved Fauci had no idea what he was doing

Laotian national Tou Lue Vang was convicted of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota.  He was set to be deported until @GovTimWalz issued him a pardon. Then, I revoked his legal status. @ICEgov has removed him from the U.S. and he will never endanger another American.
