The week in politics (June 11, 2025)

On Wednesday's show: From ongoing protests over immigration policy, to some area Congressional races taking shape, we discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

Also this hour: We remember the Galveston Movement, when 10,000 Russian Jews set sail -- not for New York but bound for Texas. Rachel Cockerell talks about her great-grandfather's role in that movement and her book, Melting Point.

And former Houston poet laureate Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton and Houston Grand Opera composer-in-residence Joel Thompson have collaborated on a new song cycle being performed June 17. We preview the premiere performance of the work, A Voice Within.
