On Wednesday's show: From the effect the freezing weather had on the special election runoff for the 18th Congressional District, to debates and endorsements in statewide primary races, to the fallout from shootings by federal officers in Minneapolis, we discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

Also this hour: We learn about a report examining high maternal death rates among Black women in Harris County.

And we bring you the second part of our 2022 conversation with Holocaust survivor Ruth Steinfeld.
