#Houston if you see anyone in need of a warm place tonight, please ask them if they would like to get out of the cold. The City has opened a warming center in Midtown. They can get a ride there if you call 311 for them. Simply checking on someone tonight could save a life.

We need to move forward and finish Durham/Shepherd. We cannot leave millions in federal $ on the table and a half-finished project. At the heart of this is safety, drainage, and an economic driver for the community - a commitment to creating a safer, more resilient Houston.

This is what itโ€™s come to? We can and must do better as a state. Iโ€™ll continue to push our #LockItUpSafe partnership with @houstonpolice and gun safety advocates. We must normalize gun safety conversations. Everyone can do their part to prevent this. @MomsDemand @Everytown

Today @HoustonTX @SylvesterTurner announced over $25 million for mental health/crisis diversion programs, a new OIG oversight office, and additional #policereform measures. Residents voices were put into action and @houstonpolice has been a true partner committed to our city.

I am dumbfounded that GLO refused to give Houston or Harris County a single dollar of the $4.2 BILLION in Harvey CDBG Mitigation Funding they received to distribute to communities impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Dumbfounded.

Texans: Today is the LAST day to register to vote. All applications must be post-marked TODAY. If youโ€™re in Harris County and you need assistance tweet back and weโ€™ll connect you with a voter registrar. #vote like your life depends on it.

Good news!!! Hubby and I are no longer in #quarantine ! We will, of course, still be observing the #StayHomeWorkSafe Order (as should everyone). We must continue to #FlattenTheCurve and do our part to save others. #littlevictories #COVID19

Truly grateful to all law enforcement that have ensured the safety of all hostages at Congregation Beth Israel #ColleyvilleSynagogue . To be able to breath this sigh of relief is a gift that we donโ€™t often have, and a reminder of the reality of anti-Semitism.

. @HoustonFirst has terminated its contract with TX GOP State Convention upon review by City Attorney. The more #COVID spikes, the less our economy can heal. This was the right thing to do for the lives of Houstonians, for the workers who would have been at risk, and for TX.

Question I never thought I'd have to review as an elected official: are tigers permitted as pets within city limits? Answer: (checks notes) No. Article III, Sec. 6-51.

As Houstonians prepare for the potential for freezing temps Thursday night into Friday, have some compassion. Itโ€™s not predicted to be severe for our area, but the memories of one year ago are.

I am always intrigued by folks who say that we should only talk about local matters as if what is happening in our country doesnโ€™t impact my family, the families of my constituents, or the families of 2.4 million Houstonians.

I commend Chief @ArtAcevedo and @houstonpolice for identifying this individual, being transparent about it, and taking immediate action. I hope more law enforcement divisions around the country will follow suit.

๐Ÿšจ The Houston region has set a new record for COVID hospitalizations, with 3,978. An astounding feat at a time when vaccines are widely available. Yesterday, 790 patients (112 critical) were waiting in these 25 counties for a general or ICU bed.

Today I was able to help Ms. Nell Jean Stewart celebrate her 100th birthday! She still lives in the house she was born in- in #DistC โ€™s heart of Montrose. @AnniseParker @houstonpolice @HoustonFire and dozens of loving residents joined in a fabulous parade in her honor. @OfficerVo
