State lawmakers discuss ballot initiative process ahead of legislative session
SUMMARY: Mississippi legislators are set to discuss the ballot initiative process in the upcoming 2024 legislative session, following the Mississippi Supreme Court’s 2021 decision that invalidated it. The initiative process had allowed citizens to propose laws and constitutional amendments, as seen with the grassroots medical marijuana campaign. Disagreement persists between the House and Senate on the number of signatures required for initiatives, with the House advocating for 106,000 and the Senate for 240,000. House Minority Leader Robert Johnson argues against restricting voter choice on ballot issues, while State Senator Daniel Sparks expresses concern about initiatives bypassing the legislature or impacting state finances. Both chambers aim for a restored yet modified initiative process.

SUMMARY: Former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has been appointed by President Donald Trump to the FEMA Review Council, a group tasked with reforming and streamlining the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

SUMMARY: The 2025 NFL Draft concluded, but many Mississippi players are still getting opportunities through undrafted free agent (UDFA) deals and minicamp invites. Ole Miss saw several players sign UDFA deals, including tight end Caden Prieskorn with the Detroit Lions and defensive end Jared Ivey with the Seattle Seahawks. Mississippi State, despite no draft picks, had wide receiver Kelly Akharaiyi and linebacker Stone Blanton sign UDFA deals. Southern Miss and Jackson State also saw players land UDFA deals or minicamp invites, such as defensive lineman Demeco Roland (Seattle Seahawks) and running back Irv Mulligan (New York Giants).

Mississippi State parts ways with head baseball coach Chris Lemonis amid underwhelming campaign
SUMMARY: Mississippi State has fired head baseball coach Chris Lemonis after a disappointing 2025 season. The Bulldogs, currently 25-19 with a 7-14 conference record, are set to miss the postseason for the second time in three years. Lemonis, hired in 2018, led the team to a national championship in 2021 but struggled afterward with a 42-69 conference record. Athletic director Zac Selmon emphasized the need for leadership change to meet expectations. Pitching coach Justin Parker will serve as interim head coach while a national search for a permanent replacement begins. The season continues against Kentucky this weekend.
