SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves signed a bill into law to criminalize the manufacture, sale, and possession of machine gun conversion devices, such as “Glock switches.” These devices convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic ones. House Bill 903, authored by Rep. Kevin Felsher, carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $3,000 fine for violations.

SUMMARY: Following the House Ethics Committee’s report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, detailing alleged payments for sex and drugs, Chairman Rep.

SUMMARY: The House Ethics Committee’s report on Matt Gaetz includes serious allegations, such as involvement with an underage girl and payments for sex. The bipartisan investigation, based on texts, payments, and testimonies, outlines Gaetz’s drug-fueled lifestyle and “transactional” relationships with women. Between 2017 and 2020, he reportedly paid tens of thousands of dollars, with one woman alleging he paid her $400 for sex when she was 17. Although Gaetz denied wrongdoing and claims exonerating evidence, he failed to cooperate fully with the investigation. The Justice Department’s lack of cooperation further hindered the committee’s findings. Gaetz labeled the investigation frivolous.
