- Rep. Cuellar federal indictment, Pres. Trump reaction, first plea deals, and upcoming court process
- Runtime

- Description
- There is more than one side to every story.
If you read Congressman Henry Cuellar’s 54-page indictment, it could be read in a few different ways.
For example, if you’re Cuellar’s attorney, Chris Flood, the indictment reads like a spy novel: a thrilling read, but just that—fiction.
But if you’re the federal government, you’ve written about a decade-long story with chapters and characters spanning borders with international figures and a plot filled with foreign influence, bribery, conspiracy, money laundering, and more.
Now, you’re trying to prove it—in court.
Then, after the break, what comes next?
As the government formally accuses Congressman Cuellar of these crimes, we talk to Sergio Lozano, a local attorney with experience practicing in federal court, on how the process will play out.
Finally, we honor Mother’s Day in a special way with a beautiful surprise.

- Description
- Not in my backyard.
The plans to make a stretch of land on Del Mar Boulevard open to changes—and business— is shot down by a very vocal group of residents.
The latest push for the project came when the City of Laredo hired Able City Urban Planners to discuss the possibility of an overlay project in that part of town, more than a year ago.
For residents living between Candlewood and Fenwick on Del Mar Boulevard, they’re hoping to keep all zoning requests at bay—with or without an overlay.
Eventually, Council Member Ruben Gutierrez Jr. motioned to do away with the issue at the last city council meeting and that motion passed.
However, without overlay protections, Able City Planners warn that future developments could be open to other standards already seen, for example, in nearby businesses.
Then, more than 2,000 arrests have been made stemming from protests over the Israel-Hamas war.

- In this episode of Morning Brew, I come clean on being a ‘Helicopter Mom’—but there’s a reason behind why I’ve hovered over my ‘soon-to-be’ graduating son—he started his high school year during the peak of Covid in 2020, and as his Mom, I did everything I could to keep him physically and mentally safe. Four years later, I realize I may have gone a bit too far. So, I’ve reached out to Melissa Ramirez, Director of Counseling and Guidance at United ISD, one of the largest school districts in Texas, for some tips on how to get kids ready to hit the road—or the friendly skies—to make it on their own. With any luck, maybe they’ll even learn how to boil an egg before the end of summer! Enjoy the Brew!
