SUMMARY: The Mississippi attorney general’s office is urging the state’s supreme court to set execution dates for two inmates on death row. Willie Jerome Manning was convicted for the murders of two Mississippi State University students and was also involved in another double-murder case, but his charges were dropped due to hidden evidence. Robert Simon, Jr., was arrested for the murders of a family in Clarksdale. Both inmates have had appeals and attempts to avoid their death sentences. The attorney general is requesting the high court to dismiss their motions and schedule their executions. They have been sitting on death row for a long time, and the state is pushing for their official death dates to be set.

SUMMARY: House Republicans have introduced a spending bill aimed at funding federal agencies through September 30, which they believe could lead to a conflict with Democrats over government spending priorities. The bill proposes slightly increased defense funding while reducing nondefense spending below 2024 levels, a move likely to be rejected by Democrats advocating for equal treatment of both areas. Speaker Mike Johnson plans to push for a vote despite Democratic opposition, confident in Republican support. The bill has President Trump’s endorsement, emphasizing unity among Republicans. Democrats warn that this partisan approach increases the risk of a government shutdown.
