Episode 4 – Congratulations, Graduate!

May 18, 2023

This week: Congratulations to Christion, who is now a proud graduate of the University of Houston. We ask what the heck the Texas Legislature is doing other than banning books, trans people, drag shows, and whatever else will get Greg Abbott a guest spot on Fox News (answer: it doesn’t involve passing a budget). Speaking of budgets, Nancy & Christion talk about the debt ceiling, the impending state takeover of HISD, and whether race-based slates might form between mayoral candidates and the at-large positions on Houston’s City Council. And of course, how you can get involved, prepare yourself for the upcoming city elections, and get involved.
