The week in politics (Sept. 3, 2025)

On Wednesday's show: We seek insight from area experts on the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

Also this hour: In this month’s installment of The Full Menu, Houston food writers discuss their favorite area restaurants that they should have told you about sooner -- the ones that maybe defy any category but deserve a little attention.

And Japan Festival Houston returns to Hermann Park this weekend, and the festival’s chairman joins us to share its history and to preview highlights from this year’s free celebration.
