Wicker: ‘I did not get briefed’ on possible coup in Russia
SUMMARY: US Senator Roger Wicker has claimed that he and his committee colleagues were not briefed about a recent international conflict in Russia. The conflict involved Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin of the Wagner Group, a private network of mercenaries, who turned against Russian forces and appeared to be threatening an armed rebellion. Prigozhin eventually backed down after negotiations with President Vladimir Putin. Wicker expressed concern that intelligence officials and leaders in the Biden administration kept the committee in the dark about this issue, which falls under their scope of influence. He believes Prigozhin was trying to oust Putin but failed. Wicker speculates that Prigozhin is now in Belarus.

SUMMARY: Mississippi is set to implement new traffic regulations banning “squatted vehicles”—cars with front bumpers significantly higher than rear fenders—after Governor Tate Reeves signed House Bill 349. The law, which goes into effect on July 1, 2023, will first involve warnings, followed by fines ranging from $100 to $300 and potential license suspension for repeat offenders. The legislation, propelled by safety concerns, will direct collected fines to support driver's education programs in secondary schools. Mississippi joins other states like North Carolina in prohibiting these vehicle modifications.

SUMMARY: During Hurricane Preparedness Week, Mississippi was allocated nearly $5 million to upgrade evacuation routes. This funding, part of the federal PROTECT Grant, will enhance contraflow systems on I-55 and I-59, used exclusively for hurricane evacuations. The grant allows for extending contraflow routes and adding gates, signage, and mile markers to improve traffic flow on these highways. MDOT emphasizes the necessity of efficient evacuation strategies for coastal safety. The project, still in the design phase, is expected to start in 2025, with aims to bolster safety and efficiency during natural disasters.
