#310 2025 Legislative Wrap-Up Part 2

The State of Freedom

This episode unpacks the firestorm that's been brewing in Louisiana’s legislative halls. Danielle Walker and Chris Alexander dig into the latest bills on free speech, election integrity, campaign finance, and the quiet creep of government overreach. From foreign money in campaigns to censorship threats and behind-the-scenes power plays, no stone is left unturned.

Want to know who’s pulling the strings behind constitutional amendments? Curious about the failed ban on foreign campaign donations or why ethics board meetings might finally go public? This conversation gets gritty, direct, and unapologetically citizen-minded. Plus, hear what bills you didn’t see coming—and why your voice might be the last line of defense.

Listen in for sharp insights, fiery sound bites, and a call to action that’s impossible to ignore. Louisiana politics just got personal.
