Alcaraz Slams, Democrat Flips Texas, Kangaroo Chaos, and a Death's Impact

Democrat Christian Menefee won a special election in Texas on Saturday, narrowing the Republican's already slim majority in the U.S. House. Menefee, the Harris County attorney, defeated Amanda Edwards, a former Houston City Council member, in a runoff election to fill the seat of the late Rep. Sylvester Turner, a former Houston mayor, who died in March 2025, according to CBS News and ABC News.

The seat representing the heavily Democratic Houston-based district had been vacant for nearly a year. Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott did not schedule the first round of voting until November. Menefee and Edwards were the top vote-getters in a 16-candidate, all-parties primary. They advanced to a runoff because no candidate won a majority of the vote, CBS News reported.

In other news, Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open to complete a career Grand Slam, according to CBS News. Alcaraz became the youngest man ever to complete a career Grand Slam after beating Novak Djokovic to secure the Australian Open. The top-ranked Alcaraz dropped the first set Sunday as Djokovic went out hard in pursuit of a record 25th major title, but he rallied to win 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5.

In Virginia, local law enforcement responded to a report of a kangaroo blocking traffic on a major highway in central Virginia on Saturday morning, according to Fox News. The Nelson County Sheriff's Office said deputies were dispatched to the intersection of Thomas Nelson Highway and Oak Ridge Road near the unincorporated community of Arrington after receiving the report. "You never know what you are going to see on a weekend in Nelson County!" the sheriff's office said.

The New York Times reported on the death of Alex Pretti and its impact on public sentiment. According to the report, Alex Pretti's death galvanized public sentiment against the federal government's tactics and forced a retreat by the Trump administration. Gun-rights groups turned on the White House, and Republican senators called for investigations. One poll found that support for abolishing ICE had nearly doubled among independent voters, the NY Times reported.
