Episode Details

Texas Governor’s race heats up as Democratic candidate Gina Hinojosa proposes $1,500 payments to every household using $17 billion from the Rainy Day Fund, while Republican Governor Greg Abbott pushes to eliminate school property taxes — a move backed by GOP voters and possibly requiring a constitutional amendment. Meanwhile, Senate race fundraising surges, with Rep. James Talarico raising a record $30 million in Q2 and AG Ken Paxton topping $9 million. Republicans also ramp up scrutiny of birth tourism, with calls for criminalizing it and a state investigation into hospitals offering “birth packages.” In a separate development, GOP lawmakers prepare to revisit a ban on THC-containing hemp products, following a Senate committee hearing that explored links between THC, mental health, and homelessness.
