It's time again for our weekly political roundup and analysis of national, state, and local political stories.

On this week’s edition, we discuss everything from the status of the healthcare bill in the Senate, to Texas joining a ten-state coalition supporting the constitutionality of President Trump's executive order regarding sanctuary cities, to whether or not the president is actually under investigation for anything.
