AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Attorney General Fight in Washington: The U.S. Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as attorney general in a razor-thin 50-49 vote early Saturday, with Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy casting the deciding “yes” while Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted no—prompting immediate backlash from Democrats and a sharp Trump attack on Murkowski. Heat Safety in Louisiana: State health officials confirmed eight heat-related deaths this summer, warning older residents to take precautions and noting risks beyond heat, including Vibrio and Cyclospora. Local Crash Update: Louisiana State Police said a 44-year-old Marrero woman, Joleen Walls, died Friday night in a single-vehicle crash after her SUV left the roadway and overturned; impaired driving and speed are suspected. Gas Prices Watch: The national regular gas average fell to $4.06, while Louisiana reports show some parish-level lows around the high $3s to low $4s. New Orleans Charity Concern: The Red Dress Run drew thousands in the French Quarter, but organizers say unregistered participants reduce funding for local nonprofits.
