The week in politics (Feb. 18, 2026)

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

Also this hour: We learn about a new initiative from the University of Houston-Downtown, which will guarantee admission for HISD graduates with a GPA of 2.5 or higher.

And we preview a concert from DACAMERA on Friday featuring the string quartet Brooklyn Rider, performing a work that explores the complex relationship between Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. It’s in conjunction with an exhibit about Kahlo on display now at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
