Sending taxpayer money to private schools advances in Mississippi House
SUMMARY: A House committee advanced a bill that enables taxpayer money to flow from public schools to private institutions, sparking concerns from Democrats about the potential impact on underprivileged students. House Education Chairman Rob Roberson emphasized the need for discussions on educational solutions for disadvantaged areas. The bill allows students from low-rated districts to use state funds for private school tuition if no higher-rated districts are available within 30 miles. Critics warn it could exacerbate educational inequality and challenge the constitutionality of using public funds for private education. The proposal now heads to the House floor for a vote amidst widespread opposition.

Trump proposes U.S. control of Gaza in move that would permanently displace Palestinians
SUMMARY: During a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump announced plans for U.S. ownership of the Gaza Strip, suggesting that Palestinians should be relocated due to the ongoing conflict. He described Gaza as a “demolition site” and proposed that approximately 1.8 million Palestinians be moved to other Arab countries like Egypt or Jordan, though he maintained it wouldn’t be a forced relocation. Netanyahu supported the idea of transforming Gaza into a safer, more prosperous region. Trump’s comments sparked backlash, particularly from Hamas, who criticized the proposal as a recipe for chaos and emphasized their stance against occupation.
