NEW: Gina Hinojosa is running to wipe away Greg Abbott's education reforms. But it won't be easy. Some ideas might not be possible. One of her pledges could go against state law: houstonchronicle.com/politic…

Gina Hinojosa wants to undo Greg Abbott's education agenda. It won't be easy

Hinojosa has been vague about what her plans would be as governor other than to fire Greg Abbott's education commissioner, Mike Morath, on her first day.

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. …Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

NEW: Rural Republicans blocked Abbott’s school voucher program in 2023 over fears it would hurt their public schools. Supporters said those fears were “false talking points.” Now that TX has vouchers, it’s unclear who’s right: houstonchronicle.com/politic…

Exclusive: Texas schools could lose $227M from voucher exodus, estimate shows

Large urban-area school districts have seen the most students leave. But the effect could be felt more acutely among smaller school districts, where losing a few students can be big financial hit.

New Mexico has yet to turn the ball over this season 👀 The Lobos are the only FBS team without a turnover, and their +14 turnover margin leads the nation by four. They also have a 7% chance to make the CFP, third-highest among Group of 6 teams, according to the Allstate Playoff Predictor.
