SUMMARY: The content discusses the failure of Governor Abbott's school choice agreement in Texas and the lack of progress on education priorities during the special session. The governor's attempt to pass his school choice initiative was met with resistance from the speaker and lieutenant governor, leading to the unraveling of the agreement. Furthermore, the article mentions the lack of support for school vouchers in the House, making it unlikely for a deal to be struck. The discussion also touches upon other unresolved issues such as border security and teacher pay raises. The governor's inconsistent bargaining tactics and inability to manage the legislature are highlighted. The possibility of salvaging the $1.5 billion security bill is suggested as the session deadline approaches on Tuesday.

This Week in Texas Politics saw another political meltdown as school choice legislation fell apart at the Capitol. FOX 7 Austin's Rudy Koski and our panel of political analysts unpack this and more in an extended segment not seen on air.

SUMMARY: House Democrat Angie Craig has joined calls for President Biden to exit the presidential race, as many Democrats doubt his capacity to serve another term. They fear his refusal to acknowledge poll warnings could harm down-ballot races, with critical votes expected to be decided by slim margins. Concerns are especially high in the House, where Democrats see a chance to regain control in November. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is set to meet with top House Democrats, while Senator Mark Warner is working to persuade Biden to step aside. Conversely, Senator John Fetterman supports Biden and criticizes calls for his withdrawal.

SUMMARY: During a deadly shooting at a Fort Worth car wash on July 4th, a bystander's intervention might have prevented further casualties. The altercation began when 27-year-old Canard Murphy, who had prior domestic violence issues, fought with a relative of his 11-month-old daughter's mother at a gathering. Murphy pulled out a rifle and started shooting, killing three innocent bystanders: two young girls and 42-year-old Terell Win. Murphy was ultimately shot by an unknown person, causing him to drop the rifle, and another individual secured it. Murphy faces multiple capital murder charges and is currently hospitalized, delaying his booking into jail.

Court documents obtained by FOX 4 reveal more about what led to a Fort Worth shooting on the Fourth of July that killed three people, including a 4-year-old and 1-year-old.
