Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick said that everyone should be happier for higher prices because Trump "saved us from World War III." Last we checked Trump started the Iran War and no nuclear weapons have been found. #txlege

New from Andrew Joseph Pegoda: In an attempt to overcomply with #Texas law, the University of #Houston will eliminate over 100 women's studies, gender and sexuality courses from the core curriculum. It won't be enough to appease extremist Republicans. https://www.texasobserver.org/university-of-houston-ends-gender-sexuality-courses-op-ed/#education #TXlege #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #women #GulfCoast #law #politics #USpol #news

University of Houston Is Gutting Its Gender and Sexuality Classes. That Won’t Stop Texas' Crusade Against Higher Ed.

College administrators wrongly hope that anticipatory obedience will satisfy a GOP-run Texas Legislature that is increasingly hostile toward education.

Last week, from Mezabahnur Masum: Texas cities are not indifferent to climate change. Instead, time after time, their careful plans for the future are blocked by #Republicans in the legislature. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-cities-climate-plans-preemption/#TXlege #Texas #ClimateChange #environment #news #politics #USpol

The Hard Ceiling over Texas Cities’ Climate Plans

From the biggest cities to smaller towns, local officials wrote serious climate plans. One law at a time, state policy has narrowed the tools to carry them out.

Featured story: The number of Texas public #schools facing closure more than doubled from 2024 to 2025, from 22 to 50. And in the first six months of 2026, #Texas school districts have voted to close even more schools—at least 55. https://www.texasobserver.org/school-closures-across-texas-not-local-failure/ #education #Texas #politics #USpol #news #TXlege

School Closures Are Escalating Across Texas. 'It's Not a Local Failure.'

State funding and policy have fallen short, advocates say, and the consequences are not confined to your backyard.

"Despite their annual visits to the Hill and efforts to share their stories with lawmakers, abortion advocates have struggled to break through in a Congress that, since Dobbs, has lacked the numbers to roll back state bans or otherwise loosen restrictions." https://www.texastribune.org/2026/07/06/texas-abortion-landscape-dobbs-v-jackson-four-year-anniversary-congress/ #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortion #txlege #UScongress #USpol

Texas abortion stories fail to sway Congress post-Dobbs

Just 2% of Texas voters call abortion the state’s most pressing problem. Advocates are reframing the issue as one of reproductive healthcare that affects families’ pocketbooks.

"Health insurance costs on businesses have gotten so high that leadership in both chambers of the state Legislature have charged lawmakers with offering solutions ahead of the legislative session beginning in January. And there’s bipartisan support to drop costs." https://www.texastribune.org/2026/07/06/texas-healthcare-cost-business-legislature/ #healthcare #insurance #business #restaurants #texas #txlege #USpol

Healthcare costs push Texas businesses to breaking point

Lawmakers and experts pin the blame for rising insurance costs on health companies consolidating and creating less competition.

"The Chronicle reviewed the websites of the 21 most-expensive or top-rated schools in the area that are not participating in the voucher program. The review found that only about half the schools had publicly posted an explanation why they chose not to join the program. Fifteen of 21 schools not participating did not respond to a request for comment about their decision." 🎁🔗: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/elite-private-schools-vouchers-21294985.php?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=copy-url-link&utm_campaign=article-share&hash=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaG91c3RvbmNocm9uaWNsZS5jb20vbmV3cy9ob3VzdG9uLXRleGFzL2VkdWNhdGlvbi9hcnRpY2xlL2VsaXRlLXByaXZhdGUtc2Nob29scy12b3VjaGVycy0yMTI5NDk4NS5waHA%3D&time=MTc3NDI2OTk4MDU3MQ%3D%3D&rid=MDcyMjg5MTAtNzRlYS00OGUyLTlmODQtNjI5ZTE0Zjg0MzRi&sharecount=MA%3D%3D#PublicHealth #education #schools #PrivateSchools #vouchers #texas #txlege
