Repeal of Obamacare survives Senate vote in late night scramble
The U S Senate failed by 51 to 49 to repeal the Affordable Care Act amid a flurry of votes over a week. A 50 50 tie would have been broken by Vice President Pence. The measure would have stripped coverage from millions, with the Rio Grande Valley among the hardest hit. Senate leadership says health care is shelved for now and Congress may revisit Obamacare later.

Texas legislature urged to act for children after session ends
Bob Sanborn of Children at Risk argues in a pointed call to action that Texas faces a child welfare crisis as the legislature adjourns. He notes underfunded Pre K, stagnant school finance reforms, immunization policy clashes, and gaps in early childhood care and health services, urging lawmakers to prioritize children in future sessions.
