JACKSON, MS—Shortly after Texas made national news by lifting its mask mandates, Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi also announced a complete lifting of his statewide mandates, reminding everyone that Mississippi is a state in the country that exists and has people in it.
"Today, we are lifting all COVID mandates in the great state of Mississippi," said Reeves. "Yeah -- Mississippi! Remember us? Yep, we're still down here! Y'all should come to visit sometime, maybe. We have excellent Walmarts, and we have that huge river, too. Oh yeah-- and FREEDOM! We got freedom too!"
Leftists were prepared to criticize Governor Reeves for "literally killing people", but they first had to Google whether Mississippi was a real thing and if there were actual people living down there.
"We thought Mississippi was just a fictional place from country music," said New York Times editor Lisa Flambeaux. "I've never seen it in person. Maybe it's just under an invisibility shield, like Wakanda."
Local residents claim to not be worried about COVID spread in light of the mask mandates ending and are looking forward to getting back to normal life, getting sodas at the gas station or catching snapping turtles or whatever they do down there.
"Come on down and find out!" said Governor Reeves.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
