Yet he pushed hard for big shifts in 2025, like making more young suspects face adult crimes and rewriting tax rules. Four changes were voted down by mor
Late spring usually means warmer weather and fewer sniffles, but this year a surprising number of people in North Texas are still getting the flu. Health officials say cases are rising when they normally drop off. One man, Jeremy Gomez, thought his allergy was flaring up at first. His voice changed,
