Gov. Reeves issues State of Emergency following Friday night’s severe storms
Governor Tate Reeves has issued a State of Emergency in the counties affected by the mass storms on Friday night, which resulted in at least 23 deaths and four missing as of Saturday morning.
According to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), at least 13 of the 23 deaths happened in Rolling Fork while three people died in one home in Carroll County.
Monroe County, home of Amory, also suffered significant damage with two people being killed.
“I would say 40 percent of homes in the town or are in the community are damaged to some sort,” Amory Mayor Corey Glenn told Fox & Friends.
Reeves released the State of Emergency around noon, later adding that President Biden has asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assist responders and aid with recovery efforts.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.

SUMMARY: Joe Biden’s presidency aimed to “restore the soul” of America post-Trump, but despite bipartisan legislative successes and international alliances, he struggled to change the political landscape. Four years after defeating Trump, Biden faced electoral defeat as Trump made a political comeback. Polls show only a quarter view Biden favorably, even lower than Trump during his presidency. Although Biden touted achievements in infrastructure and economic recovery, rising costs and inflation eroded public support. As he prepares to leave office, questions persist about his legacy and the permanence of the political shift towards populism, leaving Biden’s ambitions unfulfilled.
