Second Reading: The tricky politics of agenda management as the Texas Legislature reluctantly returns for a special session

| By: James Henson

With adopting the new Congressional maps ordered by Donald Trump and response to the July 4 floods at the top of the agenda, James Henson and Joshua Blank talk about the politics of agenda management as the Texas Legislature prepares to return to the Capitol next week for a politically-fraught special session.

(Note/correction/addendum: the roll call of agenda items for the legislature omitted two items related, "police personnel records" and "protect women's spaces," due to a combination of a printing error and haste. Apologies. - JH)
