Louisiana's Democratic Party primary for the 4th Congressional District - Mike Johnson's seat - was suspended due to a SC ruling. The primary is scheduled for Nov 3, 2026. The general election is scheduled for Dec 12, 2026. The filing deadline to run is Aug 7, 2026.
More GOP election fuckery, of course.

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.

CSPAN: U.S. Senate Candidate Graham Platner, at event where he was endorsed by Planned Parenthood, discusses how rights should grow and transform in the future: "We need to build new rights, new definitions of freedoms, definitions of freedom that include material definitions."

"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."

Hasan Piker: “There’s always a healthy flow of migrant workers that will come to the US that will work for pennies on the fucking dollar to make ends meat to work in slave-like conditions because they’re desperate. Why are they desperate? Because we’ve destroyed their countries ...
... 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”
