Proposition A was on the same 2023 Houston ballot as John Whitmire - and even got more votes (83% vs 65%). Yet now as mayor, he continues to throw roadblocks up to keep its simple provision from being a reality. That council members can help shape the city debate agenda.

Houstonians are starting to wake-up to Trump pressuring Gov Abbott to redraw Texas congressional districts ahead of 2026 midterms. Small protests are starting to pop up across Harris County to raise the alarm ahead of a #TxLege special session where it’s been added to the agenda.

Gov Abbott is loudly decrying criminal bail problems in Texas, but he’s not said anything - pro or con - about recent pardons of violent criminals from the January 6th insurrection. Despite saying those actions should never be allowed to happen again just a week later. #TxLege

Citizens speaking at Texas Senate Redistricting Committee hearing (Sunday Aug 18th) were 43 to 1 opposed to new congressional maps. Not even this staunch conservative lawyer and GOP party activist was in favor. #TxLege:

Houston’s “civility ordinance” against sitting or sleeping on sidewalks comes under more scrutiny for its treatment of the homeless. One woman got more than 780 tickets, adding up to nearly $200,000 in fines, from 2016 thru 2025. Are we just kicking people around more than helping them?

NYTimes reporter @NickKristof gets a look at stockpiles of US donated medicines that are no longer reaching the poor in the developing world because of USAID cuts. Similar warehouses at Houston ports contain tons of food and meds stalled by the cuts.

“They are specifically deciding to splinter the communities of common interest, as well as just blatantly say, we are going to dilute minority voices.” Although not one of the now targeted Texas congressman, Jasmine Crocket speaks out on Texas history of redistricting. #txlege

David Adelman on Aaron Gordon: “There was no minutes restriction, but I think everybody saw Aaron was laboring. He gave us what he could give us. I thought it was unfair for me to keep him out there, to be honest. We’re going to have to decide what we’re going to do for Game 5.”
