If you live in House District 100, today is the last day to #VoteEarly! I'm proud to support Dana Henry for #lalege House District 100 because Dana is exactly the kind of leader we need in Baton Rouge right now.

If you live in State Senate District 3, today is the last day to #VoteEarly! I represented District 3 in #lalege for 12 years, and I know firsthand the kind of leadership needed in this expansive seat. I'm proud to endorse Sidney Barthelemy for State Senate District 3 (cont'd)

With the help of a very special four-legged guest, Artie the Bernedoodle, let's talk about furloughs for city employees. Who's exempt, how often is the furlough, and how much do we save ultimately?

Hit the Crescent City Farmers Market in City Park a little late today (10AM) and it was packed! Beautiful day to support some of our local farmers and businesses!

We also tried to catch the tulips 🌷 by the Big Lake but the warm weather seemed to do a number on them. Some are still in bloom though!

New Orleans is kicking off the country's 250th birthday!

From May 28–June 1, 2026, New Orleans will be the first city to welcome the world’s tall ships as America marks 250 years, creating the largest flotilla ever on the Mississippi River.

Happy Mardi Gras from Jake Perralta @giarrussoiii and Doug Judy the #PontiacBandit from Brooklyn Nine-Nine!

Fun fact: I owned a 1984 Blue Pontiac Firebird in Highschool and a Red 1997 Pontiac Firebird in College. I was #thePontiacBandit!

This Louisiana school custodian goes ‘above and beyond.’ Now she’s getting national recognition. Meet Donella Wagner, a beloved school custodian in St. Mary Parish. She recently was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as one of the most outstanding school employees in the country.

As y’all may recall, in 1st Mardi Gras video, I said we’re broke & enforcement was going to be spotty. Tried to remind people what about the rules and the Chads decided to Chad.

Once we’re out of the $RED this will pick up.

Sucks for #Parkways & #Sanitation though.

Standstill isn’t a time thing, it’s an element and/or breakdown issue. We’ll take a look after the parades to see where the slowdown was for the after action next month

So, let's talk about Mardi Gras. AGAIN.

From aggressive behavior to commercialized throws, I'm breaking down what the first weekend of Mardi Gras entailed, and what certain behaviors could mean for krewes further down the line.

As always, have a great Mardi Gras!
