A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week's news, we turn to a rotating panel of "non-experts" to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:

  • Carlos Correa cashes in with a massive contract with the San Francisco Giants as Major League Baseball teams continue to spend, spend, spend
  • A bill filed for the upcoming state legislative session that, if passed, would ban any Texan under 18 from creating a profile on any social media platform

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

  • Vivian Ho, health economist at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine
  • Charles Kuffner, who writes the political blog Off the Kuff
