Republicans' failure to renew the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits would be devastating for Houstonians' access to health care. That is why House Republicans should return to D.C. and work with Democrats to reopen the government and protect Americans' health care.

Jay Coons, an assistant professor of criminal justice at Sam Houston State University, said Dallas voters in November responded strongly to perceptions about crime — regardless of whether it’s actually declining or on the rise.

“Let’s face it: Fear sells,” Coons said.

A Year Before Trump’s Crime Rhetoric, Dallas Voted to Increase Police. The City Is Wrestling With the Consequences.

5/ Some will cheer that we’re cutting “bureaucracy,” that we’ve decapitated the CDC. The systems have failed them, leaving them angry, alone, and hungry for blood. But dismantling the CDC as a political pawn and without a vision weakens America’s ability to detect and stop the next health threat.

1/ I'm sure you've heard by now, but on Friday, about 1,300 CDC employees, including top scientists & vaccine experts, were abruptly fired.

In a stunning reversal the next day, hundreds were then reinstated. We're not sure why the administration reversed course, but the damage has still been done.
