Over $521 million going to Mississippi farmers impacted by discrimination
SUMMARY: Congressman Bennie Thompson announced that over $521 million will go to Mississippi farmers and ranchers affected by discrimination, thanks to the Discrimination Financial Assistance Program (DFAP) by the USDA. Established under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the program received $2.2 billion to aid individuals facing discrimination in federal farm lending. Mississippi has the highest number of recipients, with over 43,000 individuals nationwide eligible for aid, including current and prospective farmers. President Biden emphasized the importance of addressing historical discrimination in farm programs, reflecting on his commitment to ensuring equity in support for farmers and ranchers.

SUMMARY: Carly Madison Gregg, a 15-year-old, is currently on trial in Rankin County for allegedly killing her mother and attempting to murder her stepfather in March. Charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder, she faces up to two life sentences after rejecting a plea deal. The case has garnered national attention due to its shocking nature. It was revealed that Gregg shot her mother after a disagreement, and later shot her stepfather upon his return home. Despite claims of mental health issues, prosecutors argue her drug use indicates willful misconduct. The trial, ongoing this week, involves significant legal controversies and expected testimonies.
