I asked Gov. Jeff Landry how involved he was in bringing Will Wade back to LSU: "Let me just say, I helped wherever I could. Will and I are very close. I was sad that we didn't pick him up last year (in 2025). It was something that irritated me. LSU missed an opportunity. It’s why there was a big change in leadership over there (in the athletic department)."

If you want to understand Louisiana's big elections this year, the deepest, most extensive coverage you can find is on @NOLAnews and @theadvocatebr. You can get 12 months for $12 bucks (and give a virtual hug to our hardworking journalists!)

You've probably seen the ads flying around that accuse Julia Letlow of supporting DEI, but what does that actually mean? @tegbridges explains where this is coming from and why her Senate opponents are seizing on it. nola.com/news/politics/elect…

If you care about LSU football, you should end your day by asking "Hey Google, what did @whalexander_ write today?"
Dude's on an absolute heater.

Last night, Edwards brought the Baton Rouge Metro Council a 2026 budget that includes hundreds of layoffs and double digit % point cuts to almost every agency.
But BRPD and fire - who together account for about half the budget - are unscathed.

Can strongly recommend sitting down with a cup of coffee and really spending some time with this story.
Just absolutely essential reading if you care about LSU.

As Jeff Landry, Brian Kelly, Scott Woodward, etc. keep making news, there's a long history of Louisiana governors meddling in LSU football. Bobby Jindal, for example, told LSU's former chancellor in 2011 he had to do whatever it took to keep Les Miles:

Emilia D’Albero trained like an athlete. She sculpted and sliced until her hands ached, then bought a second fridge.
Her sport? Cheese.
She won the Mondial du Fromage, one of the world’s top cheese competitions, in September. wapo.st/46PrbF0

The warden was nice enough to give me The Advocate photographer Javier Gallegos access to nearly every inch of Baton Rouge's jail this week.
Javi put together a gallery showing an unprecedented look at the conditions inside the decrepit facility.
