Mississippi Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann in 'good spirits' after collapsing Wednesday
Mississippi Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann collapsed Wednesday morning while the State Senate was in session.
According to videos of the incident, Hosemann appeared to be standing at his podium in the chamber. He is then seen leaning forward, then falling onto the ground before several staffers and senators rush to his aid and request emergency service.
A live-streamed video of the Mississippi Senate, which has now been deleted from the Mississippi Legislature's YouTube page, shows a staffer mouthing for someone to call 911.
Lieutenant Governor Office spokesperson Hannah Milliet told the Clarion Ledger, part of the USA TODAY Network, that Hosemann is 'doing well.'
'Lieutenant Governor Hosemann is doing well and in good spirits," Milliet said. "He appreciates all of the medical staff and is eager to return to work."
Hosemann has been the Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi since 2020. He was previously the Mississippi Secretary of State between 2008 and 2020.
State leaders react to the incident
Following Hosemann's collapse, state leaders, including Mississippi House Speaker Jason White, wished him a speedy recovery.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with Lt. Governor @DelbertHosemann for his health and speedy recovery,' White said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves and his wife, First Lady Elee Reeves, also wished Hosemann well.
'@firstladyofms and I are praying for Lieutenant Governor Hosemann!,' Reeves posted on X.

Goodbye planks! This 6-minute Pilates workout will help you sculpt a strong and stable core
Time (or a lack of it) is often cited as the reason I skip a workout. Whether it's because I've woken up later than I had hoped and have missed my allocated slot to work out, or I've decided to work through my lunch break in order to get my to-do list ticked off. When you're spinning lots of plates, something's got to give. And this year, it's my fitness regime that's often been the first thing to be ditched in favour of something else. However, in 2025, I think we can all agree that workouts don't need to be long, super sweaty, or tedious to 'count' as being effective. If armed with the right workout, you can achieve a lot in not a lot of time at all. But does a six-minute workout still hit the spot? After coming across this short and speedy abs workout from qualified physiotherapist and Pilates trainer Lilly Sabri, I decided to see for myself. After rolling out a yoga mat, I was good to go. Spoiler alert: my abs are still on fire! I'm a fan of most of Sabri's YouTube workouts because they tend to be Pilates-inspired, quick and not-so-easy, so it still feels like you're challenging your body despite the limited time you've got to do it in. And this six-minute deep core session is just that! Containing 12 Pilates moves, the idea is to complete each exercise for 30 seconds, with no rests in between. For example, some of the moves include: Six minutes can be enough time to work out — especially if it's all you've got. As I found after completing the first two exercises, my core was all fired up and feeling like it had been put through its paces. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. That's because Pilates is all about performing slow and controlled movements with the correct form that matches your breath. Doing so helps you move steadily and with precision during each exercise, which can then help you maximize the time under tension for your deep core muscles. And that it does! For example, during the Pilates roll-ups, instead of completing as many reps of this move as possible during the 30-second stint, I focused on inhaling as I was slowly rolling my torso up and my arms reaching forward and then exhaling as I articulated through my spine, vertebrae by vertebrae, back down until I was lying flat on the mat. And this was a technique that was instilled into each move. Doing so meant my core muscles were engaged the whole time, which helped me get more bang for my buck. So after completing all 12 of the best pilates exercises for my core, my trunk certainly knew it had had a workout. Due to the fact that there are no rests in between each of these moves, you are therefore engaging your muscles for a sustained period of time through a series of controlled movements, which helped me boost my muscular endurance. Plus, while the workout was over before I knew it, it provided me with some much-needed headspace before the busy day began. I'd say this workout is ideal if you're short on time, as you'll still feel the burn (sometimes in muscles you didn't know you had) even if you've only got six minutes spare. In a perfect world, we'd be sticking to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, which recommend adults complete muscle-strengthening activities on all major muscle groups two or more days a week. So, of course, a short bout of Pilates can help get you closer to this goal, but if time allows, it shouldn't be the only workout you do. Either way, whether you try out this workout on its own, incorporate it into your full-body workout, or as an abs finisher, you're bound to feel a handful of the benefits Pilates brings.

Trump's DC military parade 2025: Start times, schedule, route, map, how to watch
President Donald Trump's multi-million dollar festival and parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army kicked off Saturday morning, June 14, and will continue late into the evening, rain or shine, the White House says. The 250th Birthday of the U.S. Army Grand Military Parade will conclude a day-long festival, full of music, fireworks and a fitness competition. The pomp and circumstance also coincides with Trump's 79th birthday. "For two and a half centuries, the men and women of America's Army have dominated our enemies and protected our freedom at home," Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social in early June. "This parade salutes our soldiers' remarkable strength and unbeatable spirit. You won't want to miss it. Just don't miss this one. It's going to be good." Here's everything to know about the 250th Birthday of the U.S. Army Grand Military Parade. The military parade and festival celebrates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. On June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress voted to establish the Continental Army, organizers say, marking the creation of America's first national military force more than a year before the Declaration of Independence. With Trump arriving at the parade early, the event began at 6 p.m. ET. Trump arrived at his viewing stand to watch the parade at 5:43 p.m. ET, about half an hour earlier than originally scheduled, as evening rain and thunderstorms are anticipated. The president will watch the parade alongside some of his Cabinet members, Republican lawmakers and other top allies. It is unclear if the 7:45 p.m. end time will change as a result of the weather. Here's a look at the full festival schedule*, per the U.S. Army: *The times listed in the above schedule are in eastern time. The parade will take place along Constitution Avenue NW, starting on Constitution Avenue NW and 23rd Street and ending on 15th Street alongside the National Mall, near the National Museum of African American History and Culture. It is next to the Smithsonian Metro Station NW entrance, which will be closed, organizers say, though the Smithsonian Metro Station SW entrance will be open. Yes, the military parade is free. Tickets are not required, but those who register on the U.S. Army event website may get a good view of the procession. Prospective attendees will need to provide their full name, phone number, email and address. Attendees are limited to two RSVPs per phone number. To learn more or RSVP, visit A full list of road closures is available here. USA TODAY will stream the military parade on its YouTube channel. The livestream is also at the top of this story. A full round-up of TV broadcast plans, including CNN, NBC and Fox News, can be found here. Officials initially estimated the Army Birthday Festival and parade would range in cost from $25 million to $45 million, but the Army's latest estimate totaled $40 million, as USA TODAY's Tom Vanden Brook previously reported, citing a Defense official who was not authorized to speak publicly. Trump has said that the Saturday parade will go on, rain or shine, even though the National Weather Service's forecast, as of Friday afternoon, showed a 60% chain of rain. "I hope the weather's okay, but actually if it's not, that brings you good luck, and that's okay, too," Trump said on June 12, during the congressional picnic at the White House. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't affect the tanks at all, it doesn't affect the soldiers. They're used to it. They're tough. Smart." The last major military parade, the National Victory Celebration, was held on June 8, 1991 to celebrate the end of the Gulf War.
