SUMMARY: Rep. Mike Ezell of Mississippi's fourth district, a Republican and former sheriff, reportedly slapped at CODEPINK activist Sumer Mobarak's phone during a confrontation at the U.S. Capitol. Mobarak, a Palestinian American, has since pressed charges. CODEPINK, known for anti-war activism and feminist origins, has been protesting in Washington against U.S. support for Israel amid the Gaza war. Ezell, dismissing the protesters as harassers backed by China and supportive of Hamas, vows to maintain support for Israel. Pro-Palestine protests are rising across the U.S., with the government recently approving more aid to Israel.

SUMMARY: A Mississippi judge sentenced Phillip Collins to life in prison for the murder of James Higgins, which occurred during a drunken rage nearly three years prior. Higgins was found by his daughter at his Gulfport home, having suffered a fatal stab wound. Police identified Collins as a suspect after he was the last person seen with Higgins and lied about his whereabouts. Despite Collins' claim of self-defense, the Gulfport Police Department's investigation led to his confession. Judge Lisa Dodson condemned Collins for his actions and the trauma caused to Higgins' daughter before he was taken into custody.

SUMMARY: Chad Kelly, the reigning MVP of the Canadian Football League, has been suspended for at least nine regular season games and two preseason games amid sexual harassment allegations. A lawsuit by a former strength and conditioning coach of the Toronto Argonauts accuses Kelly of sexual harassment and claims wrongful termination, seeking damages from both Kelly and the club.

The league emphasized the importance of player conduct and the need for Kelly's self-reflection. No sanctions were announced against the Argonauts.
