Guess who’s coming to dinner? The mother of a transgender boy gets a long awaited RSVP from Ken Paxton. We’ll meet her today on the Texas Standard.

Set asides for higher ed students- the Lt. Governor wants to get rid of them claiming it would cut the cost of college across the board. Do the numbers add up?

Cleared for takeoff: new rules set to open up the skies between Mexico and Texas. Fasten your seatbelts, deal seekers.
