Ellie and Michelle are back from our totally necessary break to catch you up on everything that went wrong while we were gone. This week: the DOJ may be reviving the slush fund, and America's 250th birthday party on the National Mall goes about as well as you'd expect, but no one was there to see it. And the Supreme Court ended the term barely deciding that the constitution says what it says about birthright citizenship. But if tho...
This week, Michelle and Ellie are joined by Louisiana State Senator Royce Duplessis for a candid conversation about one of the most consequential legislative sessions in recent Louisiana history.

The Louisiana Right to Life cannot be trusted and their messaging sucks.

Louisiana's legislature held hearings until 4:30 IN THE MORNING to ram through redistricting maps that gut Black voting power — and Michelle was there for basically all of it. Ellie was not, because she's been on a journey of self-discovery and starting a new firm, which she hates talking about but talked about anyway.
This week: a racist senator yells "shut up" at a room full of constituents, a committee chair cuts the live ...
We’re going to do something different this week. On May 8th, the Louisiana Senate Government Affairs committee held a hearing about proposed new maps that would redraw our 6 Congressional Districts. Hundreds of people came to the Capitol to testify. We are going to play some of that testimony without commentary because we think everyone needs to hear it.
To keep up with what's happening with Louisiana's Redistricting Pl...
Courts are doing things. Louisiana is doing things. The Fifth Circuit is doing things. None of it is good. Pour yourself something strong and join Ellie and Michelle as they try to make sense of the week that was. The SCOTUS opinion in Louisiana v. Callais dropped this week and Alito is gaslighting us all. And a three-judge Fifth Circuit panel effectively reinstated in-person prescription requirements for mifepristone — natio...
In this episode, Ellie and Michelle talk about the conservative freakout about the declining teen birth rate, the middle finger voters in Virginia gave to Trump, Jazzfest drivers messing up New Orleans, whether Charlie Kirk was a model of success that students should be forced to emulate, and finally, Michelle backs up her thesis about Senator Jay Morris.

In this episode, Ellie and Michelle talk about JD Vance’s warning to Pope Leo, the absurd outcome of the debate over pregnancy centers providing healthcare without being licensed, and, of course, another chapter in Representative Crew’s crusade against pronouns.

In this episode, Ellie and Michelle are joined by Aubrey Allison, a content creator in New Orleans who blends culture, news and politics with humor and sarcasm in a way that is delightful. Aubrey shares how she thinks about using social media to spread information people need but making sure there’s hope core in the mix. Then Ellie and Michelle give a quick update on the pregnancy center bills.
In this episode, Ellie and Michelle run through a laundry list of batshit stuff that happened nationally and in Louisiana. How did the Artemis II launch get overshadowed by the Supreme Court’s bizarre decision on conversion therapy, the spectacle of Kristi Noem, Lindsey Graham, and Pam Jo, and Trump’s temper tantrum at SCOTUS. Back on the Gulf, The Right to Life wants to show kids propaganda videos and a racist Senator ...
In this episode, Ellie and Michelle discuss recent legislative developments in Louisiana, how the SAVE Act disenfranchises women, and why we need more secular traditions. Also, Louisiana is trying to sneak through a Baby Olivia Bill - but we’re on to them.

Michelle and Ellie unpack recent legislative developments in Louisiana including the influence of religious and unlicensed pregnancy centers, their role in propagation of misinformation, and their lack of regulation. They also discuss Ohio Republicans proposing a pregnancy registry requiring health providers to report fetal heartbeats and pregnancy outcomes. And the US Congress's Ludicrous proposal for mandatory collection of fetal...
Michelle and Ellie are back in the legislative trenches after last week’s podcast episode suffered a catastrophic recording error. So they recorded it again, because there’s wild stuff this legislative session in Louisiana. Lawmakers are trying to do everything from changing the definition of abortion to giving parents unfettered rights- including refusing to treat their children with cancer. Seriously, that’s a b...
In this episode, Michelle and Ellie analyze recent and proposed Louisiana bills, focusing on regulation of pregnancy centers and MAGA legislator’s absurd response to Minneapolis protests. They also discuss the broader implications for civil liberties and healthcare access in the state.
