AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Abortion Pill Pause: The U.S. Supreme Court kept mifepristone access by mail and pharmacy sales in place at least until Thursday, blocking a lower-court move that would have tightened rules—while Louisiana’s lawsuit against the FDA’s policy keeps working its way up. Redistricting Firestorm: The fallout from Louisiana v. Callais is still driving chaos: questions are swirling over whether Louisiana’s early voting ballots will count after Gov. Jeff Landry said the congressional races can’t proceed under maps the Court deemed unconstitutional. Landry Recall Push: In Shreveport, a recall petition drew a crowd at Government Plaza, with organizers taking signatures from multiple parishes. National Map Arms Race: Hakeem Jeffries urged more Democratic states to pursue “aggressive” mid-decade redistricting, as courts and legislatures across the South race to redraw before November. Local Governance: Gonzales introduced its 2026-2027 budget, setting up a May 26 vote after a prior budget stalemate.
