The week in politics (Aug. 13, 2025)

On Wednesday's show: We discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

Also this hour: The state has begun buying land for new state parks thanks to a new source of funding. We learn where those parks might be and how the state is making that determination from Texas Tribune reporter Alejandra Martinez. 

And we get to know Afrobeat and hip-hop violinist Demola ahead of his performance this weekend at 713 Music Hall.
