AUSTIN (KXAN) — Congressman Lloyd Doggett and advocacy group warned Texans of the potential dangers in some children’s toys Monday. 

Six House Democrats from Texas called on the Biden administration to exercise federal authority against GOP Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s declaration of an “invasion” at the U.S.-Mexico border.

CBS Austin spoke to United States Congressman Lloyd Doggett about the recent midterm elections, the upcoming legislative session, former President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential run announcement and more.

If – sorry, when – you went to cast your vote in the 2022 midterm elections, you may have considered the bond propositions in one of our local school districts, including Austin, Dripping Springs, Lake Travis, or Pflugerville. But there's one thing you may not know: If the federal government doesn't raise the ceiling of the Texas Permanent School Fund's $117 billion Bond Guarantee Program, millions of bond dollars will be consumed by high interest rates instead of school renovations. In place of a response from the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service, lawmakers are hearing crickets.

Open enrollment for health insurance on the Affordable Care Act marketplace began Nov. 1, and a trio of local political leaders joined staff at the Foundation Com­munities Prosper Center in South Austin to encourage Texans to get covered between now and mid-January.
