Memphis man found guilty of murdering former Southaven football player
SUMMARY: Mark McDaniel has been convicted of second-degree murder for the December 2022 shooting death of former professional football player Christian Saulsberry at a house party in Walls, Mississippi. DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton described the act as reckless and cowardly, emphasizing that Saulsberry was a promising young man whose life was senselessly cut short. McDaniel became intoxicated at the party and, after a confrontation with the host, retrieved a firearm and fired into the crowd, fatally striking Saulsberry, who was merely an innocent bystander. McDaniel is set to be sentenced on December 17, 2024.

Hyde-Smith casts doubt on validity of Signal chat snafu as Wicker calls for investigation
SUMMARY: The publication of an article by Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, claiming he was inadvertently added to a secure Signal group chat discussing military plans against Houthi terrorists, has sparked controversy in Washington. While officials confirm the mistake, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth denied that any war plans were shared. The Atlantic subsequently released chat messages detailing aircraft types and airstrike timings. President Trump initially denied any classified information was disclosed, but later stated he was unsure. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith questioned how Goldberg acquired the information, suggesting possible unethical methods. A bipartisan call for an investigation into the matter is underway.
