Then, we hear from Houston Chronicle space reporter Andrea Leinfelder, who gives us the latest developments on the updated plan for NASA’s Artemis III mission.

In the second hour of the show, Emmett Hopkins, the Transportation Policy Manager at the Climate & Community Institute, educates us on a new transportation proposal by the Trump administration, which would scale back federal support for public transportation.
Plus, we also learn about the Houston-based social service agency Alexander JFS, with their Director of Program Services, Morgan Zeringue, who also explains what impact SNAP cuts are having on the work they do.
And, as always, Ernie and Celeste discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including President Trump saying the Iran strikes are meant to prevent the country from acquiring a nuclear weapon and President Trump’s endorsements in the Texas primaries.
