On Monday's show: The Texas House has its own version of a school vouchers bill that would tie the value of education savings accounts to public school funding. We learn how it would work differently than a plan in the Senate and how the two houses might work out conflicts between them.

Also this hour: Three years into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, how does it all end, and what does it mean for Houstonians? We ask a pair of local foreign policy experts.

Then, Apple has announced plans to build an AI server manufacturing facility here in Houston. Columnist Dwight Silverman explains what the facility will be doing and updates us on other developments in consumer technology.

And the Astros got their first look at the automated ball/strike system as Major League Baseball tests out a new challenging system in spring training. Jeff Balke lets us know how it went.
