Voting Rights Fight: The NAACP launched “Out of Bounds,” urging Black athletes and fans to boycott major public universities in states it says are restricting Black voting power after the Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act—targeting schools across Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Georgia. Mississippi Spotlight: Mississippi is the first state to join a revamped federal effort to locate missing foster children, with Attorney General Lynn Fitch and child welfare officials saying 13 kids have already been found and brought to safety. Redistricting Pressure: In South Carolina, Republicans pushed toward a House vote on a congressional redistricting plan that would reshape the state’s only Democratic-held district, while Democrats argued the move is wrong.

Health & Safety: A CMS report highlights Singing River Skilled Nursing Facility in Jackson County earning a 5-star overall rating in Q1 2026.
