Congressman: Government ‘will shut down’ as spending deadline approaches
SUMMARY: There are only two days left for Congress to fund the federal government, but Representative Michael Guest believes a shutdown is inevitable. If legislation is not passed before October 1, the start of the next fiscal year, a shutdown will occur. The chances of both chambers passing the necessary bills by the Saturday deadline are slim. The Senate has introduced a bipartisan bill to fund operations until mid-November, while the Republican-led House has passed a bill to fund veterans and military construction expenses. Guest believes a stopgap resolution is necessary to keep the government operating while negotiations continue.

SUMMARY: Aberdeen, Mississippi city councilman Nicholas Holliday is suing Monroe County and the sheriff's department for alleged Fourth Amendment rights violations. He filed a lawsuit after being held at the Monroe County jail for hours during a December incident. Holliday was at a store called the Gas Station when deputies conducted a search warrant, leading to the arrest of the former mayor, the owner's wife, and two employees for selling THC-laced substances. Despite no crime on his part, Holliday claims he was unjustly detained and questioned, prompting the lawsuit for wrongful confinement.

SUMMARY: Mississippi's Governor Tate Reeves is requesting federal aid from FEMA for Hancock, Hinds, Humphreys, Madison, Neshoba, and Scott counties after severe weather including 13 tornadoes struck from April 8-11, resulting in property damage and two fatalities. The storm inflicted significant damage on a number of homes across these counties, prompting the call for individual assistance programs, which could include grants for housing repairs and low-interest loans for uninsured losses. Reeves emphasized the importance of the federal support in helping the state and its residents recover from the destruction caused by the storms. Approval from FEMA is pending based upon the state meeting certain requirements.
