Republican State Rep. Brian Harrison is calling on Texas Governor Greg Abbott to call a special session to strip powers from the governor’s office before newly-elected Gina Hinojosa can take office. Harrison first introduced a bill to limit the governor’s power in 2022, but it stalled in committee.

VIDEO: 'She was my world': Friend remembers Deep Ellum Halloween shooting victim as hunt for suspects continues ... DALLAS - As police continue to search for suspects in connection to the three Halloween shootings in Deep Ellum, one victim's friend remembers approaching the scene the night of the deadly incident. Oshshanae Rose tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey she was taking an Uber to Deep Ellum to meet her best friend, 28-year-old Unique Benjamin, on Halloween night. "As I arrived, I just saw a whole bunch of people running, and people screaming and cars backing up, police yelling and the lights," Rose tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey. Prior to Rose's arrival, three separate shooting scenes had broken out. Benjamin was one of four people shot and killed on Halloween night in Deep Ellum. 21-year-old Kaniesa Scott, 25-year-old Anthony McCleary, and 20-year-old Isaiah Boling were also killed in the violence. Rose says she has been best friends with Benjamin for a decade, and was back in town for Halloween after moving to Chicago. "She was my world, like, we did everything together," Rose said. "It felt like I knew her forever." Benjamin's location on Rose's phone is now stuck in Deep Ellum, where she was killed on Halloween night. "My friend was so sweet, she didn't deserve this." Untruan Train Grant is one of several Deep Ellum community members trying to figure out ways to curb violence. "I want people to understand that Deep Ellum is not a breeding ground for crime." Grant says teens who can't get into the district's bars flock to Deep Ellum. His street team Learn With Train aims to steer them away from the neighborhood. "Deep Ellum is an entertainment district that’s for adults," Grant tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey. "We find out a lot about some of these kids. Some of these kids are homeless. Some of these kids are just trying to look for fun." One man who flashed a gun on the night of the shootings has been arrested, but police have not arrested any shooting suspects. Dallas Police released images and video of a suspected shooter earlier today. Federal authorities have announced Operation Deep Cover, a safety initiative aimed at giving Deep Ellum more resources following the shootings. @FOX4

"I look forward to working with him for all 31 million Texans." Texas Senator-elect James Talarico says he's ready to work with President Trump, pointing to several issues where the Democrat believes they can find common ground. Talarico gives Trump credit for doing a better job securing the border than the previous administration, while pushing for comprehensive immigration reform that includes more legal pathways and a path to citizenship for longtime undocumented immigrants. He also wants to work with Trump on cutting housing regulations, building millions of new homes and legalizing marijuana, even acknowledging that his own party has contributed to some of the red tape. | @AmericaNewsroom Download the Fox News app for live updates on midterm election coverage: foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS/z2jy…

"I don't think you should listen to anything a politician says. You shouldn't trust anything a politician says." "Including you?" "Yeah." Democratic Senator-elect James Talarico offers an unexpected response when @DanaPerino presses him on whether he still opposes proposals associated with Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates following his election victory. "What you should do is look at my record. That is what you can trust. Because actions, in my view, speak a lot louder than words." @AmericaNewsroom
