Louisiana leaders react to passing of President Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’
SUMMARY: Louisiana leaders reacted strongly after President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” passed both the Senate and House, now heading to Trump’s desk for signature. The bill includes permanent extension of 2017 tax cuts, no taxes on tips, \$350 billion for border security, and aims to cut $1.5 trillion in federal spending over 10 years, though it risks Medicaid coverage loss for 12 million Americans. Louisiana Republicans, including Congresswoman Julia Letlow, Gov. Jeff Landry, Speaker Mike Johnson, and Senator Bill Cassidy, praised the bill’s tax relief, border security, and educational provisions. Democrats, led by Congressman Cleo Fields and Troy Carter, condemned it for massive healthcare and food assistance cuts impacting millions in Louisiana. The Louisiana Association of Business and Industry supported it for promoting economic growth. The bill passed narrowly amid strong partisan divides.

Potential tropical storm could possibly form today on the East Coast
SUMMARY: A potential tropical storm could develop today along the East Coast, with a 70% chance of formation, possibly becoming a named storm by tomorrow. Current weather shows hot temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, feeling like upper 90s to triple digits in some areas. Light, hit-or-miss showers are passing through, with occasional thunderstorms expected later this afternoon into the evening, especially near coastal and river parishes. By fireworks time, skies should clear up. Travelers along the coast and towards the Carolinas should prepare for rain through the weekend into Monday. Rain chances will increase late weekend, but no major washout expected today.

‘I just want my wife back’: Baton Rouge veteran’s spouse faces deportation
SUMMARY: Adrian Clouatre’s wife, Paola, was arrested by ICE after discovering a 2018 deportation order during a TikTok search.

Her son faced 10 years behind bars; now she’s the one facing prison
SUMMARY: Nicholas Williams, a security guard convicted for firing a warning shot that hit a trespasser, faced a mandatory 10-year sentence but was granted probation after a judge ruled the sentence unfair. His mother, Tanya Brumfield, became involved, rallying support and seeking counseling amid the ordeal. However, she was arrested and charged with public intimidation, accused of threatening the judge—a claim she denies. Brumfield spent 11 days in jail before bail and now wears an ankle monitor while awaiting trial. Despite her struggles, she credits her actions with helping spare her son from prison and seeks justice for both.
