On Monday's show: Before President Biden's announcement over the weekend, the last time a sitting U.S. president dropped his re-election bid, he was a Texan. And when Lyndon B. Johnson did so in 1968, it was amid a period of somewhat similar turmoil. We discuss those parallels with Rice University political science professor Bob Stein, who was at the contentious 1968 Democratic National Convention.
Then, former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and our own Andrew Schneider reflect on the life and career of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who died Friday.
Also this hour: What are some of the biggest mistakes Houston has made over the years? What in your view is the single biggest whopper of a screwup we’ve made as a city?
Then, columnist Dwight Silverman discusses recent developments in consumer technology, including last week's Crowdstrike glitch that messed with Houston airports, banks, hospitals, and media.
And we get an update on the Astros from Jeff Balke.
