Great to visit 419 Emancipation and see the work underway at this important resource for Houstonians experiencing homelessness. More than 170 individuals have already accessed services here, connecting them with shelter, support, and a path toward stability.

What a disgrace.
A Somali referee who is due to officiate at the World Cup has been denied entry to the U.S. after “vetting concerns” emerged upon his arrival in Florida over the weekend.
Omar Artan arrived at Miami International Airport on a flight from Istanbul on Saturday but was barred from entering the country following a “routine” inspection, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed in a statement to The Athletic.
Artan, the 2025 Confederation of African Football men’s referee of the year, is one of 52 referees handpicked by world governing body FIFA for the tournament.

The Main Street Promenade is open! More trees, greenery, and safer, pedestrian-friendly spaces Downtown. As we prepare for FIFA, we’re delivering lasting investments for Houston: $500M invested, 400 miles paved, major drainage and sidewalk upgrades, new parks, and 7,000 trees

This center will be life changing for many
The city of Houston is preparing to open a large service center and shelter for homeless people. It’s intended to serve the most vulnerable people on the streets — but will they accept the help?

Such a wonderful time celebrating the 20th anniversary of @theheartprogram at their annual luncheon, highlighting the phenomenal impact this organization has for adults with developmental disabilities. The HEART Program enables these adults to work and contribute their valuable skill sets within our community by providing job training and job opportunities. They truly are the M.V.Ps! #giveback

A proposed border wall in the Big Bend region would cost more than two billion dollars. It would intrude on the land of alfalfa farmers, cattle ranchers, river guides, and wealthy landowners. It would block the views along what National Geographic has called one of the most scenic drives in the country. It would impede the movement of wild animals and prevent livestock from accessing the Rio Grande, a crucial water source. It may disturb historic evidence of “the edge of the Puebloan world,” according to an archeologist who works in the region. It could disrupt tourism in a regional economy that is reliant on it. In places prone to flooding, a wall could make the problem worse. A wall would sever people from their neighbors in a region that’s long considered itself binational and interdependent.
“It is unclear what problem a wall would solve,” Rachel Monroe writes. Big Bend is Border Patrol’s largest sector by area along the Southwest border, spanning more than 500 miles of the Rio Grande, but it has typically had the lowest number of illegal crossings. Since 2023, apprehensions have dropped further, to fewer than 200 per month this year. The wall is opposed by environmental groups, local sheriffs, and a far-right pro-gun YouTuber who is the region’s Republican nominee for Congress. And yet construction appears to be proceeding apace.

Great news 🏀🩷
Houston is welcoming back a legendary name in sports. The return of the Houston Comets restores a proud part of our city’s basketball history and creates new opportunity for the next generation of women’s athletics.
