"Hanukah is a story about light pushing back against darkness, one flame at a time," one faith leader said. That message carried added weight after a deadly mass shooting at a Hanukkah event in Australia the night before, which authorities have described as an antisemitic…...

5+ hour, 35+ min ago (244+ words) The Fertitta Center featured a family affair Saturday afternoon when Houston hosted the University of New Orleans. The Coogs, as is customary in recent years, came out on top. Houston guard Mercy Miller tallied 15 points in a 99-57 win over the Coogs' non-conference opponent, posting a career-best scoring night in his sophomore season.

The elder Miller, who briefly played for UH in the late-1980s, still sports an impressive jump shot if recent social-media video is any indication. His son followed in his footsteps Saturday, turning in a career-best game with his father on the opposing bench. It's unlikely Mercy Miller, a reserve guard for Houston, ever reaches international fame and acclaim quite like his father. He…...

Houston Mayor John Whitmire's political party of more than five decades admonished him on Sunday " barring the lifelong Democrat from receiving its endorsement in the future, according to multiple local precinct chairs who attended the meeting where a vote was held. A progressive group within the Harris County Democratic Party pushed through the measure nearly eight months after Whitmire attended a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Houston Republican. The move was largely symbolic. The party did not make an endorsement in the 2023 mayoral race because there were multiple Democratic candidates running for the nonpartisan position. If the same pattern holds true in 2027, which is expected, the party would not make…...
