On my first day as your Mayor, I released my 100-Day Action Plan laying out our path forward. From public safety to education, this details exactly how my Administration plans to get to work. This is just the beginning. Read the plan: ow.ly/7pn350QotFX

Why did Council President @Darrell_Clarke decide not to run for mayor? "At the end of the day, the fire didn't burn in my belly," he said. Plus, he liked the things he was able to accomplish on Council.

It takes years of commitment to create a new playground and basketball court, but we did it at 11th & Venango in North Philly, where neighbors never gave up. Today was a day we've long worked for. Thanks to @PhilaParkandRec and @sixers for working to get this done! @PHLCouncil

Glad to hear that @sixers player @KELLYOUBREJR has been released from the hospital. While shocking, this incident is a reminder that traffic violence can happen to anyone. We must get serious about this issue to protect all Philadelphians. inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-k…

Sixers’ Kelly Oubre Jr. suffers broken rib, injuries to hip and right leg after getting hit by a car

The forward's injury does not appear to be life-threatening. But he is expected to miss significant time.

A bittersweet moment as Police Commissioner Stanford put it: the arrest of the last 2 suspects in the killing of Police Officer Mendez and shooting of Officer Ortiz. Law enforcement puts their lives on the line every day to protect us. We’re in their debt. ⁦@PHLCouncil⁩
