Reposting because this was a bombshell revelation and the reporter actually vetted the information to verify that the Orleans Parish clerk of the court, who's up for re-election on Saturday, lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in uncollectible forfeited bonds.
Darren Lombard, the clerk of the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, is alleged to have lost half a million dollars in court and DA revenue through failure to secure forfeited bonds. @veritenews.org verified at least $200k was lost because of the clerk's office.

New Orleans, I have a cruiser bike (foot brakes) that's been in a shed for many years that I don't have the will to rehabilitate (mainly rust and an issue with the seat that replacing the seat did not fix). Does anyone want it? Either to use for parts or to restore? Before I put it on the street

We just got our letters. We're self employed, so we have to purchase our own insurance. Between loss of subsidy and increased premiums, our insurance is going from $1330/mo to $2438/mo, with increased deductibles and copays. That's 16k/yr to >29K/yr. This isn't sustainable. Who can afford this?
Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.
I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.
If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Is voter turnout really low? Seemed like we had good momentum with early voting. Not so much on the actual day?

Very random ask: If you happen to be an Ancestry member, a small favor, please? I need a printable version of my dad's obit & that is apparently the only source (if you've got another, that would be great too!).

I hate to ask but things are dire here for our Queen Bean. She can’t breathe and we need to get her to a vet, we’re losing her and it’s hard to watch her like this. If she’s going, she shouldn’t have to suffer like this. Please, please share, donate only if able! #MutualAid #HelpSky #DogsofBluesky

Hey, #nolasbluesky #nolatwitter etc, I know seems random af, but really it's not. What's your weather app of choice? The one I was using until about an hour ago decided to resend the alert sent 20 years ago and that was just taking things too far. Uninstalled.

Hey #nolasky - Chronic illness bullshit has me home this morning, & this shouldn't be a thing, bc NOPD knows how to do crowds, but these are crazy times. If shit goes sideways and there's a bond/bail issue, I'm here.

So, since there's really no longer any public health guidance, I'll put it to you, #nolabluesky. I'm supposed to be getting on a plane to NY in three weeks. Should I still be doing that?
Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. It's also fueling surges in China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.

WOW. Listening/watching council hearing. It's a wonder the whole population of the jail hasn't just wandered out. I don't know how the council folks are staying calm & in their seats & stuff.

So we're still at 7? Those guys must have a plan beyond "get out of jail." Going to the FQ was really badly thought out.
