House, Senate unable to reach compromise on Medicaid expansion proposal during initial conference meeting
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers from the House and Senate have failed to agree on Medicaid expansion terms, stalling legislative efforts. While the House proposed coverage for those earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level (FPL) with a potential work requirement, the Senate insisted on a mandatory 30-hour work week for expansion eligibility, but only for those up to 100% FPL. The House’s plan could cover 200,000 Mississippians, with the federal government shouldering 90% of costs. The Senate’s plan would cover 80,000 and require the state to pay a larger share. No compromise was reached, but dialogues continue.

SUMMARY: Rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart made his preseason debut for the New York Giants in a 34-25 win over the Buffalo Bills, showing promise with 154 passing yards, a touchdown, and mobility. Dart led three scoring drives but noted room for improvement, especially on third-down conversions. Veteran Russell Wilson also played efficiently. Coach Brian Daboll praised Dart’s poise and confidence. The Giants, rebuilding after a poor season, hope Dart will be their future quarterback alongside Wilson. The Bills rested MVP Josh Allen, with backups Mitch Trubisky and Mike White contributing. Both teams prepare for upcoming joint practices and games.
