SUMMARY: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch is suing the Biden administration over its plan to expand Title IX to cover LGBTQ+ students. Title IX was established in 1972 to protect women from discrimination, but the Biden administration announced that it will now also prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics in federally funded education programs. Fitch, along with other Republican attorneys general, filed a legal challenge to this ruling, claiming that Title IX has been crucial for girls for over fifty years and the Biden administration's actions will undo important progress.

SUMMARY: The 2024 legislative session is coming to a close, with state lawmakers focusing on negotiations around Medicaid expansion. The main sticking point is the work requirement, with the House proposing an 80-hour monthly requirement while the Senate wants 120 hours. The House compromise covers up to 138% of the federal poverty level and includes language mandating a reapplication for work requirements once approved by the federal government. The Senate has not included this language, leading to ongoing debates between House and Senate negotiators. The session is set to end with an 8:00 PM deadline for filing conference reports.

SUMMARY: A woman accused of causing a fatal car crash due to drunk driving is facing a retrial, with jury selection currently underway. The defendant, Beth White, remained calm during the process as potential jurors were asked questions. One juror had a personal connection to a victim of a drunk driving incident, potentially affecting her ability to be impartial. The crash resulted in the death of a mother and her child, with two other children severely injured. The previous trial ended in a mistrial due to a hung jury. Over a dozen witnesses are expected to testify in the upcoming trial.
