Engaging employees in policy that matters to them is critical. Last night, these front-line paramedics @DHParamedics testified for over an hour educating the CO House Judiciary Committee on how a bill would impact their clinical practice. @DenverHealthMed @DenverEMed

In this crazy world, I am always impressed and inspired by the hope and advocacy of our youth. Thousands of people showed up at the CO state Capitol yesterday to protest, many of them young teenagers facing unthinkable hardship for themselves and their families. #50501protest
Flew from Denver to New York yesterday on American Airlines. Flight attendants tearful on the early morning flight, seated in their jump seats, talking with passengers. Such a sad, tragic day in history. 🇺🇸

On scene with @Denver_Fire while they work a 2-alarm fire made more complicated by high winds. While the fire fighters work to keep the fire from spreading, we are on scene working together to ensure the families and pets get any care they may need.

Today, Floridians with @wvswfl protested Republicans’ creepy obsession with people’s genitals and dumped underwear on their heads as they debated several anti-trans bills. One fell directly on the bill sponsor @RachelPlakon’s head 😂
