Holder gambles and loses in Texas Supreme Court races | Texas
SUMMARY: Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s efforts to influence Texas elections by targeting three Republican Texas Supreme Court justices with millions in funding failed, as voters re-elected incumbents Jimmy Blacklock, John Devine, and Jane Bland. Holder, backed by notable Democrats, aimed to alter Republican dominance through the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), but Texas voters decisively rejected his agenda. Criticized for his controversial tenure, Holder alleged that the justices prioritized ideology over impartiality. Following the election results, re-elected Justice Blacklock emphasized the need for judges to uphold laws as written, reflecting a clear choice by Texans for stability in their judiciary.

MD Anderson introduces cutting edge tool to 'liquify,' destroy liver cancer tumor in lieu of surgery
SUMMARY: More than 40,000 people will be diagnosed with liver cancer this year, which is a leading cause of cancer deaths globally. Traditional treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, but new technology called histotripsy is emerging. This innovative technique employs high-powered ultrasound beams to liquefy liver tumors without surgery, focusing on targets as small as a BB. Surgeon Eric Lou at MD Anderson, one of the few Texas centers offering this treatment, explains it causes minimal damage to surrounding tissue. Histotripsy is non-invasive and can be repeated as needed, with hopes of future applications for other tumor types.
More than 40,000 people will hear the words “you have liver cancer” as it’s considered the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. However, doctors have developed a new tool to fight it that won’t involve surgery!
