SUMMARY: The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) is working to reduce the rate of stillborn infants in the state by encouraging expecting mothers to use the “Count the Kicks” mobile app. Mississippi currently has the highest rate of stillbirths in the nation, with 355 unborn babies lost in 2021.

SUMMARY: Following the House Ethics Committee’s report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, detailing alleged payments for sex and drugs, Chairman Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.) stated he opposed releasing the findings.

Between 2017 and 2020, he reportedly paid tens of thousands of dollars, with one woman alleging he paid her $400 for sex when she was 17. Although Gaetz denied wrongdoing and claims exonerating evidence, he failed to cooperate fully with the investigation. The Justice Department’s lack of cooperation further hindered the committee’s findings. Gaetz labeled the investigation frivolous.
