Governor Reeves posts SCOTUS NY worship ruling
Reeves wrote on Facebook Monday: “With all the things we can be thankful for in this season, I am especially grateful for our God-given religious liberty. That right was upheld by the United States Supreme Court last week—blocking the New York restriction on worship gatherings. Throughout this pandemic, Mississippi has never restricted religious gathering and worship. We made that clear in our court filings. God is bigger than government. The right to freely practice your faith must never be infringed.

YP – Wicker Welcomes News of COVID-19 Vaccines
Americans received uplifting news recently in our fight against the coronavirus. Two American drug companies, Pfizer and Moderna, announced that their newly developed COVID-19 vaccines were highly successful in late clinical trials and are safe for use. Pfizer’s vaccine was 95 percent effective in producing immunity against the virus, and Moderna’s vaccine posted a similar success rate of 94.5 percent. These results are the clearest signs yet that Congress’s multi-billion dollar investment in vaccines this year is paying off. Americans can be encouraged that victory against this virus may finally be on the horizon…
…These COVID-19 vaccines are a triumph of American ingenuity and scientific genius. They are a testament to what our nation can accomplish when we work together to meet an urgent need. But even as we celebrate, we cannot let our guard down. In recent weeks we have seen a spike in coronavirus cases, with deaths and hospitalizations reaching new highs. Until the vaccines are approved and widely distributed to the general public, we all need to keep taking health precautions to slow the spread of the virus – wearing masks, standing six feet apart, and washing hands frequently. Taking these steps, even with the end in sight, can save lives.
U.S. Senate considers confirmation of McNeel
Taylor McNeel’s academic, judicial, and personal qualifications are absolutely out of this world. If he is confirmed tomorrow, I am confident he would serve the Southern District of Mississippi well as a U.S. district judge. https://t.co/pMWZ9frQlz
