On Tuesday’s Houston Matters: Federal workers in Houston are rallying against the government shutdown. We hear from one of them. And we meet the 17 recently elected black female judges in Harris County whose group photo went viral.

Also this hour: A local professor of psychiatry is among those lobbying Congress to reclassify schizophrenia as a brain disease. We learn what such a change would mean. Then, we discuss some renewed proposals to establish term limits for the U.S. House and Senate.

And author Edward Burger, who’s president of Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, presents some real-world exercises to improve decision-making and problem-solving skills in his book Making Up Your Own Mind.
