Mississippi lawmakers likely waiting on Trump decision before expanding Medicaid
SUMMARY: Despite previous discussions around Medicaid expansion in Mississippi, uncertainty surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s administration has stalled legislative progress. Trump, returning to a Republican-controlled Congress, faces a range of questions about healthcare reforms. In past attempts, the Mississippi legislature had shown willingness to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, but ongoing debates about work requirements and federal support led to stalled negotiations. Lawmakers are hesitant to proceed without clarity on potential federal changes, including eligibility and funding models. As the legislative session begins, they plan to await Trump’s healthcare strategy, complicating future Medicaid expansion efforts.

Mississippi influencer urges change of course in what he calls ‘dangerous’ ban of TikTok
SUMMARY: Ahead of the U.S. ban on TikTok set for January 19, influencer Christopher Townsend, known as “Topher,” is among eight digital creators suing the government to nullify the law, HR 7521, passed in March 2024. The law, citing national security risks from TikTok’s Chinese ownership, threatens to shut down the app unless its parent company, ByteDance, sells it to an approved buyer. Townsend claims the ban infringes on First Amendment rights and argues for less restrictive measures, highlighting TikTok’s economic contributions and job support in the U.S. A Supreme Court decision on the matter is expected soon.
