@MorganLamandre and I co-authored this op-ed on the public conversations about the #Epstein files, the disconnect between survivor disclosures, and the low reporting numbers. Only 3% of survivors reported their sexual assault last year in La. lailluminator.com/2026/02/19…

The same guy mentioned “72 times” in the LSU Husch Blackwell report? #LaLege theadvertiser.com/story/spor…
BREAKING: LSU and AD Scott Woodward are finalizing an exit agreement, per Yahoo Sports' @RossDellenger. Longtime LSU athletic administrator Verge Ausberry is expected to serve as the interim athletic director.

Will the library get fixed if they name it after him? That may be the only way the library gets fixed.
I’m calling on @LSU to honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk by putting up a statue of him on campus. There is no better warrior for free speech than Charlie Kirk, and we must continue his legacy on every campus in America. 🇺🇸

Can someone in #LaLege please propose a resolution or whatever is needed to prohibit the use of digests? Digests are harmful. They do not accurately reflect the laws being proposed and they cause a lot of harm. #AbolishTheDigest

This is true. The same lawmakers who may write into law that gym memberships and country club dues are legitimate campaign expenses...refused to add child care during campaign events into the campaign law last year. #lalege lailluminator.com/2024/06/12…
But last year they didn’t want to let Senator Barrow’s bill to codify the ethics ruling that allows campaign funds for childcare expenses because of the potential for “abuse.” That makes a lot of sense. #lalege

ICYMI: Personal attorneys for @LAGovJeffLandry have helped write legislation that would allow Louisiana elected officials to spend campaign/PAC money on their home mortgages, country club dues, gym memberships and Mardi Gras krewe dues. #lalege lailluminator.com/2025/05/29…

In 2015 we changed LA law to ensure no survivor would ever be told the rape they experienced would be called a “simple rape.” Ten years later we are continuing the work we started by introducing HB 268 by Rep. LaFleur. #LaLege 1/ legis.la.gov/legis/ViewDocum…

LA law currently uses the term “pornography involving juveniles” to describe sexual abuse material of children. WORDS MATTER. 2/

Children do not choose to engage in the sexual abuse inflicted upon them and evidence of their sexual abuse is NOT pornography, it is “child sexual abuse materials.” Please support HB 268 this session! 3/3 @staradvocates @HayworthAudrey

They are trying to stiff organizations where Congress did allocate funds!
The idea that the government can make contracts and then stiff people because Congress doesn't allocate funds is absurd.

Now that we are almost finished the 30 day trial of 2025, I would like to cancel this subscription because I think the costs are exorbitant and my general dissatisfaction is wildly high. #OMB #LaLege

Louisiana would lose a significant amount of money under from @OVWJustice and @OJPOVC. We have been promised grants for critical projects, especially those necessary to support survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and trafficking. 1/ #LaLege

OMB memo sent to me appears to suggest a pause on basically all federal assistance starting tomorrow at 5. Is there another way to read this?

@AGLizMurrill, please defend Louisiana in any efforts to pause any grants related to funding we worked so hard to get. This memo sent out is extremely broad and the reach will significantly impact Louisiana. 2/2 #LaLege

#NaZiyahHarris was not grown, fast, or mature. She was manipulated, groomed, and abused.💔 Legally & ethically, children lack the emotional, cognitive, and social maturity to fully understand and make informed decisions about situations involving power, trust, and responsibility
So we took a deep dive into this Naziyah Harris case out of Detroit, and it is breaking our hearts... 💔 Na'Ziyah Harris, a 13-year-old from Detroit, went missing on January 9, 2024, after she was last seen getting off a school bus. Her disappearance and subsequent murder investigation led to the arrest and charging of Jarvis Butts, a 41-year-old man from Highland Park, with first-degree premeditated murder, second-degree criminal sexual conduct, and child sexually abusive material. Na'Ziyah was reported missing the day after she was last seen. Her social media accounts went quiet, and she did not return home from school. Butts was charged with multiple counts related to Na'Ziyah's case, including murder and sexual assault. He was also accused of sexual offenses involving two other girls, one now 20 and another now 13, from separate incidents dating back to 2012 and 2015 respectively. It was alleged that Butts had groomed Na'Ziyah since 2022, leading to her pregnancy, which he tried to cover up by looking into abortions and even searching for methods like drinking red anti-freeze. Text messages revealed Butts and Na'Ziyah had communicated on the day she disappeared, planning a meet-up. Butts was seen with her after school, and they visited Ypsilanti before returning to Detroit. Police found clothing believed to be Na'Ziyah's near the Rouge River, where Butts was located the day after her disappearance, with signs suggesting a struggle. Digital forensics, including phone records, showed Butts' movements and searches related to abortions around the time Na'Ziyah went missing. Butts was bound over for trial after a preliminary examination where numerous witnesses, including family members and digital forensics experts, testified. The judge described Butts as a "monster" for his actions, believing he killed Na'Ziyah to cover up the pregnancy. Na'Ziyah's family has been actively involved, expressing frustration over the initial handling by school officials and hoping for justice. They've also highlighted systemic failures, particularly with Child Protective Services and school oversight, which might have prevented the tragedy if addressed earlier. As of the latest updates, Na'Ziyah's body has not been found, but the case proceeded to trial based on the overwhelming evidence of her murder by Butts. "As a community, we should look at this case as a prime example of how much work we have to do when it comes to protecting our children and especially Black girls." --Judge Aliyah Sabree

I’m listening to the hearing now. I really wish there was more consistent use of “parents” instead of “mom” when talking about parental culpability. Most examples are “mom is passed out,” “mom has mental health challenges.” #LaLege 1/
A task force is looking for ways to better the state's investigation into child sexual abuse cases. A few ways are coming to light already #lalege #lagov brproud.com/news/louisiana-n…

I get that the vast majority of kids are with their moms, but this is typically because the dads abandoned them and want no part in their lives. We need to talk about these issues in ways that hold them just as accountable. #LaLege 2/2
