As the volume of veteran benefit claims continues to increase, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is planning to hire over 2,000 employees across the country - including in Houston - to process claims in the coming years.
The department is encouraging veterans and others to apply for a career as a VA claims processor. The VA says selected candidates will interpret and apply applicable laws, regulations and policies for processing disability claims.

The VA says it currently has more than 13,000 employees who processed a record-high 3.1 million compensation and pension claims in fiscal year 2026, processing them with the highest accuracy rate in three years - 93.88% - with only 3.2% of claims decisions appealed to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals.

President Donald Trump says he’s offered the job of White House press secretary to Dana White, president of the world’s biggest mixed martial arts promotion.
White, the head of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has known Trump for decades, back when Trump’s Atlantic City casinos served as a launchpad for UFC.
President Trump wrote about White's offer on Truth Social, saying he requested White to bring UFC fighters such as Islam Makhachev and Amanda Nunes as assistants.
"We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left," Trump's post reads. "Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job!"
It’s unclear whether White will accept the offer. FOX Local has reached out to UFC for comment.

“Elections matter.” 🗳️
That’s what Houston Mayor John Whitmire said as he announced a major change to how HPD works with ICE.
Under the new executive order, officers will only contact ICE about an administrative immigration warrant if the person is also being arrested for a jailable offense.
Immigrant advocates are welcoming the change but asking why it didn’t happen sooner. The police union says it was blindsided.
So, is this a turning point for community trust, or a change that should’ve happened months ago?
🎥 Here’s what you need to know.

Timing is truly everything. 😳
A local dad was driving on I-69 near Roman Forest this morning heading back up toward Cleveland when a heavy-duty metal cinch broke off an 18-wheeler and slammed straight through his windshield.
It shredded the front headrest and smashed directly into the car seat where his 1-year-old was sitting just minutes earlier before daycare drop-off. Thankfully, he and his 2-year-old in the back walked away without a scratch, but look at that damage…
