Mayor-elect Helena Moreno's huge primary win amounts to a voter mandate. Columnist Stephanie Grace explains why.

The real life application of the Voting Rights Act can be complicated and messy, columnist Stephanie Grace writes, but the landmark 1965 law -- now facing a major challenge from Louisiana -- remains a bulwark against cynical efforts to diminish the voices of those who've been historically left out.

U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy's battles against the Trump administration's anti-vaccine policies are almost Shakespearian, columnist Stephanie Grace, because none of this would be happening if he'd hadn't supported the anti-vaxxer-in-chief, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in the first place.

Democrats and Republicans in Louisiana agree that Gov. Jeff Landry's move to send state troopers into New Orleans is a success. Columnist Stephanie Grace thinks Landry's ally, President Donald Trump, should be lauding the governor's accomplishment instead of still insisting that crime in the city is a national emergency demanding a military response.

U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins is at it again. This time Higgins is aiming his bizarre conspiracy theories at the alleged "sorcerers" who work to keep us all healthy. But there are signs that even his fellow Republicans are tiring of the Lafayette congressman's antics, columnist Stephanie Grace writes.

Columnist Stephanie Grace recently traveled to George W. Biush's presidential library and museum, intending to revisit Bush's actions after Hurricane Katrina. What she found was a monument to just how much Donald Trump has remade the Republican Party and the federal government (spoiler alert: not for the better).

As Congress rolls over for President Donald Trump and the Legislature tentatively stake out its independence from Gov. Jeff Landry, the New Orleans City Council aims make its mark as a coequal branch of government. Columnist Stephanie Grace says the results haven't always been pretty, but they're a lot better than what we're seeing in Washington.

In 2021, U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy voted to certify Joe Biden's victory and to convict Donald Trump of inciting the Capitol riot that sought to overturn it. But that was then columnist Stephanie Grace writes. Now, facing next year's daunting Republican primary, Louisiana's senior senator is all in on Trump's second term agenda and his most controversial appointees.

There may be some long-familiar names on the fall ballot, but columnist Stephanie Grace writes that a lot has changed in New Orleans politics.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise doesn't normally break with Donald Trump, but he was right to do so when it came to Donna Kashanian's case, columnist Stephanie Grace writes. But what about all the other immigrants cruelly targeted by the Trump administration?
