SUMMARY: In Mississippi, House Speaker Jason White plans to introduce school choice legislation in 2025 to give parents more control over their children’s education. Currently, Mississippi’s K-12 system is more traditional, with limited school choice options. White proposes several measures, including allowing public school students to transfer freely between districts, expanding the charter school system, and creating education savings accounts for private school tuition. Critics argue that such programs could strain the state budget and harm public schools. However, White emphasizes that most families prefer public schools, and the changes aim to provide more options for low-income families.

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.
