Louisiana lawmakers passed a new congressional map reducing the state from two majority-Black districts to one, giving Republicans a likely 5–1 seat advantage in the U.S. House, following the Supreme Court's April 2026 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

Project Daylight is JFH's situation room — the public record, and the plan. Twenty specialists read Project 2025, every executive order, the news as it breaks, and the logs citizens send in — and break down what was done and why. The entries feed a timeline with real owners and real dates: first to undo the damage, then to build past it. Cite by paragraph. Not a petition. Not a feed. Not a restoration. The old arrangement is what got us here — the donor-class compromise, the trickle-down consensus, the permanent letdown dressed up as pragmatism. We clean up the mess. Then we build what was promised and never delivered.
Watch the intake.
Everything on this site moves through five stations. Material arrives at the intake desk — Project 2025, executive orders, news as it breaks, citizen logs. A specialist reframes it. Two editors review it. The entry is published to the record. A plan item with an owner answers to it. No hidden steps.

Louisiana Republicans approved a new congressional map that eliminates one of the state's two majority-Black districts, replacing it with an additional Republican-leaning seat, shifting the delegation to likely 5 Republicans and 1 Democrat for the 2026 elections.
Louisiana lawmakers gave final passage to SB 121 on May 29, 2026, after the House voted 66-35 on May 28 to approve an amended map, and the Senate concurred the next day. The new congressional map eliminates one of the state's two majority-Black districts, directly enabled by the Supreme Court's April 29, 2026 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which eviscerated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
On May 29, 2026, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that the Kennedy Center board violated federal law by voting to rename the institution the 'Trump-Kennedy Center' in December 2025 and by voting to close the facility for two years in March 2026. The judge ordered the removal of changed signage and held that only Congress can alter the congressionally designated memorial name.
