Gumbo PAC is a non-partisan organization focused on Louisiana politics, issue advocacy and current events. We've done this before.
Tuesday AM radar. Invest 93 spinning away over the Gulf Stream. Chances of becoming Dexter at 40%. Crossing Florida then turning up towards upper Gulf later week. Spaghetti Models consistent on idea. spaghettimodels.com
The Trump administration’s decision to unlock the money follows court challenges and an outcry from educators, advocacy groups and members of Congress, who had appropriated the funding in a bill that President Trump signed earlier this year. theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
While rising insurance rates are forcing Louisiana families out of their homes, big insurance companies are turning record profits and executives are cashing in on our pain. Our insurance crisis is their payday! #LaLege #LaGov
The U.S. property and casualty (or P&C) insurance industry, which includes home and auto, had a banner year in 2024. Profits hit an all-time high of nearly $167 billion, up 91% from 2023 and 330% from 2022. #lagov #lalege prospect.org/power/2025-07-…
Well this is jarring. John Kennedy (R-LA) is midway through a quip he's delivered a thousand times ("Jesus loves him but everyone else thinks he's an idiot") and completely freezes up mid-sentence.
@TheAtlantic: Trump and Hegseth have been on a firing spree throughout the military, especially when it comes to removing women from senior positions. #lasen #lalgov #lalege theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…
@AP: Trump’s tax and spending law will add $3.4 trillion to federal deficits through 2034, reported the CBO, a slight increase in the projection that takes into account the final tweaks the GOP made before passing the bill. #lagov #lalege apnews.com/article/medica…
@theadvocatebr: Louisiana coffee roasters are raising prices as tariffs make it more expensive to import coffee beans, adding to recent challenges for a local industry tied to the globally traded commodity. #lagov #lalege theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
But on the bright side, before you know it we’ll be able to catch speckled trout and redfish without having to leave the coastal city of Baton Rouge. #lagov #lalege apnews.com/article/louisi…
@CNN: The drawing, depicting a woman’s breasts and a “Donald” signature in the place of pubic hair, surrounded several lines of typewritten text, according to the @WSJ, which reviewed the letter. #lagov #lalege cnn.com/2025/07/17/pol…
@AP: Only about one-quarter of U.S. adults say Donald Trump’s policies have helped them since he took office, according to a new poll that finds underwhelming marks for him on key issues, including the economy, immigration & government spending apnews.com/article/poll-t…
The contrast is stark: our insurance crisis is their windfall. Big Insurance is raking in record profits from skyrocketing rates, denied claims, and massive investment returns. Meanwhile, Louisiana families and small businesses are struggling to make ends meet. #LaLege #LaGov
Louisiana is the most unaffordable state for insurance, with nearly $1 out of every $10 earned going to insurance costs! Why are Louisianans forced to pay more for insurance than virtually every other state? Here are the top 3 reasons ⬇️ #LaLege #LaGov realreformla.com/top-3-reasons-…
@TheAtlantic: Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow, according to current and former government employees with direct knowledge of the rations. #lagov #lalege theatlantic.com/health/archive…
'Weakening' of ethics investigations could help La. officials 'get away with it,' board member warns. My @WWLTV report on key ethics board changes. wwltv.com/mobile/article…
Skyrocketing insurance rates are crushing families & small businesses. Meanwhile insurers are raking in record profits & executives are pocketing millions ⬇️ A Slide Insurance exec and his wife received $50 MILLION in compensation in 2024! #LaLege #LaGov mensjournal.com/news/this-insu…
@Sedensky reports for @AP: Nursing homes already struggling to recruit staff are now grappling with President Donald Trump’s attack on one of their few reliable sources of workers: immigration. #lagov #lalege #lasen apnews.com/article/immigr…
Latest Monday EURO 12z ensemble blend showing Invest 93. Chances for Tropical Depression really increasing, and on both sides of Florida (bottom). Tropical Storm chances (top) a lot less. Land interaction appears to be key. More time over water equals more chance for something…
@TheAtlantic: Not that long ago, believe it or not, Donald Trump ran for president as the candidate who would defend the First Amendment. #lagov #lalege theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…
Could see some upper Gulf heavy rains from our low pressure. NWS New Orleans discussing some flooding scenarios later week to watch. Latest rainfall here on the CMC/ICON showing big numbers. Couple outliers but ones to keep in mind. spaghettimodels.com
