Mississippi to remain without legal mobile sports betting as lawmakers can’t settle differences
SUMMARY: Mississippi residents aged 21 and up cannot legally place sports bets via mobile devices, as efforts to pass online sports betting legislation have failed for the third year in a row. A key disagreement between House and Senate leaders halted progress, despite the House passing a mobile sports betting bill (HB 1302) with bipartisan support. The Senate Gaming Committee did not pursue the bill. Proponents argue that legalizing mobile betting could tap into a $3 billion illegal betting market, while opponents, like Senate Chair David Blount, emphasize that it does not enhance tourism or investment. Mississippi remains one of 19 states without mobile sports betting.

Mississippi delegation urges Trump to approve FEMA assistance after mid-March tornadoes
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s federal lawmakers have united in urging President Trump to approve Governor Tate Reeves’ request for a federal disaster declaration after severe storms on March 14–15 killed seven, injured nearly 30, and caused significant damage across 25 counties. The National Weather Service confirmed 18 tornadoes touched down. Senators Wicker and Hyde-Smith and Representatives Thompson, Kelly, Guest, and Ezell signed a bipartisan letter supporting expedited aid and individual assistance for 14 counties. Governor Reeves emphasized the urgent need for federal help, despite ongoing state efforts. If approved, this would mark Trump’s first FEMA action since criticizing the agency and threatening cuts.
