A school district lawsuit turns into a much bigger fight over who really holds power in America. We start with the federal civil rights case filed against Houston ISD and then zoom out to the constitutional framework underneath so many modern political battles: what the First Amendment was meant to restrain, how the Fourteenth Amendment reshaped the relationship between states and Washington, and why the courts now sit at the center of disputes that used to stay local.

Then we shift to a very Texas problem with national implications: hyperscale data centers and AI infrastructure. Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is urging a pause on new projects until the state can assess impacts on the Texas power grid, water supply, land use, and rural communities. We walk through the arguments on both sides and land on a principle that cuts through the noise: the economy exists to serve the people, not the other way around.

From there, Michael Quinn Sullivan of Texas Scorecard joins us to break down the runoff election results across the state, including key statewide races and what the numbers say about voter priorities, endorsements, and the limits of big money campaigns. We also bring on Justin White from Senior Health Services to explain why Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans may see disruptive changes this fall, especially for PPO members, and what to do before open enrollment catches you off guard.
