SUMMARY: Gret Kim Martin, the Democratic candidate for attorney general in Mississippi, criticized Republican incumbent Lynn Fitch’s time in office, discussing abortion policy, campaign finance law, strategies for reducing violence, and more. Martin believes that government should not interfere in healthcare decisions, including abortion, and that Mississippi needs leaders who will fight for the state’s interests. She also addressed issues such as high rates of infant and maternal mortality, police misconduct, voting rights for felons, gun violence, and labor laws. Martin emphasized the importance of a fair and effective legal system that serves and protects the people of Mississippi.

It’s Greta Kemp Martin’s turn in the spotlight. We spoke one on one with Attorney General Lynn Fitch last week. Now the Democratic candidate lets loose with criticism of the Republican incumbent’s time in office. She talks about abortion policy, campaign finance law, strategies for curbing violence and more with 12 News’ Byron Brown. Produced by Tom Wright.

SUMMARY: In a recent “Wellness Wednesday” segment, Dr. Quinn discusses the impact of technology on health. He highlights both benefits, such as increased access to health information, and drawbacks, including reduced physical activity and disrupted sleep patterns due to screen exposure. Dr. Quinn observes that technology often distracts users, leading to time loss and decreased engagement in daily activities. He suggests a technology detox, advocating for 24-hour breaks from social media to foster mental well-being. Additionally, he notes that prolonged screen time can cause eye strain and reduce active learning opportunities, particularly among students using AI for schoolwork.
