It’s election night, and I’m at Steve Scalise’s party at Drago’s. He’s not expected ‘til later but that didn’t stop me from scoping the menu bc every story is a food story at heart!!

More great reporting from @sophie_kasakove on Gov. Landry & the state police vs. New Orleans officials as troopers move unhoused people into an increasingly crowded, un-resourced area ahead of the Taylor Swift concerts. https://t.co/6bQWdyqUwP
