Something has changed in Texas public life: we keep needing lawsuits and fine-print statutes to stop behavior that used to be policed by basic standards, community norms, and common sense. I start with the latest example, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton suing the City of Denton over a planned “Big Gay Swim Day” at a city-owned pool and the allegation that organizers intended to offer gender-neutral changing rooms in violation of the Texas Women’s Privacy Act. We talk about what the law can block, what it cannot, and why that gap matters.

Then we shift to the greater Houston area, where authorities execute 21 search warrants tied to organized crime, illegal game rooms, and alleged money laundering across Galveston County and beyond. It’s a reminder that corruption and exploitation aren’t confined to downtown headlines. From there, we dig into the Texas App Store Accountability Act after the Fifth Circuit temporarily lets the age verification and parental approval requirements take effect, and we debate privacy claims, First Amendment arguments, and what real online child safety looks like.

The second hour turns to accountability on two fronts. A father joins me to describe what his family says happened at a middle school and why he believes administrators treated it like an internal discipline issue instead of an urgent criminal matter. We also look at questions surrounding Democratic candidate James Talarico’s personal connections and abortion lobbying ties, before ending with two warnings: a Polk County child abuse arrest that highlights the need for stronger justice and better vetting, and a Texas Public Policy Foundation critique of a massive ERCOT transmission build-out that could drive up ratepayer costs while expanding bureaucratic power.
