Apartment fire leaves toddler with carbon monoxide poisoning
SUMMARY: Two-year-old Liam Keane was rescued from a burning apartment in Granbury after his mother, Felicia, detected flames shortly after 1 a.m. She attempted to save him but was unable to due to thick smoke. Fire crews arrived and successfully used a ladder to rescue Liam from the second floor. Felicia expressed deep gratitude for their efforts, stating they don’t receive enough recognition. Liam was airlifted to Cook Children’s Hospital, where tests showed he has some carbon monoxide poisoning but is otherwise okay. The family lost nearly everything in the fire, which also displaced 15 others; the cause is under investigation.
A 2-year-old is recovering at the hospital this morning after he was trapped in a burning apartment Sunday morning.
SUMMARY: Following a Republican sweep in state legislative seats, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick have made school choice and property tax reform top priorities for the upcoming legislative session. School choice, which faced opposition in previous sessions, is expected to pass with the support of newly elected candidates endorsed by Abbott. The proposed legislation includes the creation of Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) for 60,000 students and funding increases for teacher salaries. Polls show broad support for school choice across political groups. Patrick is hopeful the governor will declare it an emergency item to fast-track its passage.

Texas Republican, gun rights groups oppose Cornyn as Senate majority leader | National
SUMMARY: Ahead of the U.S. Senate’s vote for a new majority leader, several Texas Republican groups oppose Sen. John Cornyn, citing his support for gun control and a failed border bill. Cornyn, seen as Mitch McConnell’s preferred candidate, faces competition from Sen. Rick Scott, who is backed by many conservatives. Cornyn has faced criticism for authoring the 2018 ‘FIX-NICS’ Act, which critics say infringed on veterans’ gun rights. Several local Texas GOP organizations have denounced Cornyn’s alignment with Democrats and support for omnibus bills, urging Senate Republicans to choose a leader who upholds conservative, America First values, like Scott.

SUMMARY: Texas has filed its 101st lawsuit against the Biden administration, challenging various actions affecting the state’s oil industry, border security, election integrity, and other policies. The two latest suits involve joining Louisiana against the FCC and suing the DOJ to prevent the destruction of records from special counsel Jack Smith’s investigations into Donald Trump. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claims these actions are necessary to uphold constitutional rights and ensure transparency, expressing concerns that the DOJ may destroy evidence related to what he views as politically motivated prosecutions against Trump.
