Texas Standard for December 7, 2015
The Oval Office: When it’s used as a bully pulpit, it often signals a turning point. Was last night’s message such a moment? Plus: Why has Texas become a hotbed for anti-Islamic rhetoric?

And: Texas is front and center this week before the nation’s highest court. All that and more, on today’s Texas Standard:
