After the news broke that Houston will host the 2028 Republican Convention, we began planning the op-ed that Andrew would write about it — an op-ed that would recount his experience with the last Republican convention that Houston hosted. That one, in 1992, was held in the Astrodome. Houston’s own George W. Bush nominated Dan Quayle to be his vice president.

A scientific study just published in Nature Cities shows that all the biggest cities in the U.S. are sinking -- and that Houston is sinking fastest of all. More than 40% of Houston's land mass is subsiding at least one-fifth of an inch per year, the researchers said, and the worst spots are sinking 10 times faster. With rising sea levels, that's a one-two punch for our low-lying city. What might the future of those fast-sinking parts of our area look like?

Gov. Greg Abbott recently signed into law a school-voucher program that makes Texas families eligible for hefty subsidies for private school: up to $30,000 a year for a child with qualifying special needs, and roughly $10,900 for a child without. Also, parents who homeschool will be eligible for $2,000 a year to help with costs. Supporters say that it gives Texas parents much-needed choices.

Last week, I asked you how the recent economic upheaval is affecting you — how government cuts, stock market uncertainty or the threat of tariffs is showing up in your everyday life. Here, lightly edited, is some of what I heard. – Lisa GrayStephen Greer, nervous: I’m retired on Social Security, so I have been forced to cut back on everything, especially food choices and car travel (to reduce gas usage).

Tariffs. Federal layoffs. A dire outlook for oil prices. Unnerving news in the stock and bond markets. Grocery bills that go up, up, up. Tell me, please: How is the recent economic chaos affecting you and the people in your life? Has it forced you to make a big change, like changing your career, delaying your retirement or choosing not to have another child right now? Or are you making small changes, like eating out less or clipping coupons?

In the pandemic, even when vaccine researcher @PeterHotez told me something bleak, I felt better: The problem was defined. A first step. Last night @BakerInstitute we talked about the rise of anti-science. Bleak. But defined. A first step. https://t.co/k6vptw8BhX
Excited to interview vaccine researcher @PeterHotez tonight about his new book, The Deadly Rise of Anti-Science. Sponsored by @HoustonChron @BakerInstitute @BrazosBookstore https://t.co/kTdyRuo6fr
Houston gripes, anyone? Mine is: This drought killed magnolias, which are great trees. Couldn’t it have taken out those wretched tallows? We’re grumbling at 9 a.m. on @HoustonMatters
