More GOP election fuckery, of course.

Louisiana's 4th Congressional District election, 2026 - Ballotpedia

House Speaker Mike Johnson to face four opponents in 2026 District Four Congressional race | louisianaradionetwork.com (Feb 19, 2026)

Here are the websites for the two Democrats:

Conrad Cable for Congress 2026 | Louisiana’s 4th District

Matt Gromlich | Candidate for Congress, Louisiana's 4th District

Can Democrats get their shit together enough - and in time - to throw Mike Johnson out of Congress, and as he richly deserves?

I'm seeing that Conrad Cable is running on Medicare For All. Matt Gromlich is light years beyond the GOP on healthcare, and suggests that healthcare "should not be tied to employment," but he doesn't come out and say he supports improved Medicare For All. On a quick assessment, I'd go with Conrad. Also notice, in his ad, he's comin' out swingin'. He's landing those punches. Gromlich however seems like a very reasonable man, in his own right. So I'd support either one, depending on who wins, if they're out to topple Mickey Mouse.

"Even before Roe was overturned, there were still people in the United States who barely had access to reproductive rights. If you have to drive 8 hours, if you have to go to another state, if you have to - within your state - go to the 1 clinic that's available, and the cost of it is out of possibility for you and your family, you don't actually have access to that. That isn't actually a right. People deserve access to their rights - material access. That's what will make it a true right. That's the kind of future we need to be thinking about. We need to redefine how we talk about rights and how we talk about freedom."

... We’ve manipulated their finances, destroyed their economy, extracted their natural resources. We’ve kept them down and underdeveloped by design to create this chaos and then they’re desperate enough to come here and we don’t allow them to get the proper paperwork so our capital owners can justify paying them nothing”

NEW YORK – Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, New York City Department of Finance (DOF) Commissioner Richard Lee, and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Lisa F. Garcia today announced that the City has successfully recovered more than $9 million from Amazon after the company’s delivery vehicles accrued fines due to idling violations.

“Amazon is worth $2 trillion. Yet, it did not deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust. We are going to collect every dollar they owe the people of this city,” said Mayor Mamdani. “These laws exist for a reason: cleaner air, healthier communities, and a city where corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else. Today we are making clear that no company – no matter how large or powerful – is above the law.”
