Mississippi House of Representatives votes overwhelmingly to legalize mobile sports betting
SUMMARY: The Mississippi House of Representatives passed House Bill 1302, the “Mississippi Sports Wagering Act,” aiming to legalize mobile sports betting statewide with an 82-10 vote. The bill allows those aged 21 and older to place bets on regulated events via mobile devices, linking them to brick-and-mortar casinos. This legislation addresses illegal sports betting, which has cost the state significant tax revenue. The bill incorporates provisions to protect struggling casinos and establishes a fund for financial assistance. Revenue generated would be taxed at 12%, primarily directed towards road and bridge repairs, while concerns over tourism and economic impact persist in the Senate.

SUMMARY: The proposed TikTok ban has evolved significantly since Donald Trump’s presidency. The government is now exploring ways to “save” TikTok, including a sovereign wealth fund that could buy the app. While national security and data privacy concerns remain central, both Democratic and Republican officials have sought to regulate rather than ban the platform. Influencers, like Mississippi College student Miles Taylor Leverette, voiced concerns about losing livelihoods but also emphasized the need for national security. As discussions continue, content creators are diversifying their online presence to mitigate risks. The future of TikTok depends on national security concerns and international relations.
