\t\t\t\t\t\"HelloHello Houston: Where Houston Talks!<\/p>\n

On today’s Hello Houston, we discuss the latest on the text messages and pamphlets received by Texans across the state that appeared to promote transgender advocacy resources with Toluwani Osibamowo,<\/a> an investigative reporter for The Texas Newsroom, who reported on this issue.<\/p>\n

Then, in this week’s edition of HPM in Focus, Houston Public Media’s Fort Bend County reporter Melissa Enaje<\/a> talks about the controversy surrounding a campaign ad that featured AI-generated videos of Black voters expressing support for Daniel Wong, the Republican candidate for Fort Bend County Judge.<\/p>\n

Plus, our hosts and listeners share the latest things that have been taking over all their free time as part of our regular Thursday feature, Current Obsessions. Share your Current Obsessions with us anytime by emailing us at talk@hellohouston.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And, as always, our hosts Ernie Manouse and Michael Adkison discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including new requirements<\/a> for businesses to receive tax abatements from the city of Houston, Gov. Abbott’s re-election campaign being heavily funded by Elon Musk, the Potter County Republican Party wanting all Texas ballots to be counted by hand, and more.<\/p>\n
