from Texas Take · host Houston Chronicle
The Texas Republicans weren’t messing around. Their Trump-directed redistricting map could end the political careers of the three longest-serving Texas Democrats in Congress and shake up who represents Black and Hispanic districts. It all triggered heated exchanges in and around the Texas Capitol. We break it all down, plus give you the latest on the battle over THC products, the future of the STAAR test and another potential way Gov. Greg Abbott wants to stop property tax hikes. As an added bonus, we have a rare recording of Ronald Reagan weighing in on the evils of redistricting 35 years ago in one of his last speeches ever on the topic. Host Jeremy Wallace breaks it all down with Reporters Isaac Yu and Benjamin Wermund. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
