[Ellyn Hefner @EllynHefner]

It’s an honor to serve House District 87 and I would be humbled to continue for another term. I’m looking forward to visiting with my constituents about the common sense legislation I’ve been working on at the State Capitol and how I can best serve them. #HD87

Two brothers from different OKC fire stations responded to the same emergency call, serving side by side for the community. The Bowerman brothers are proud 2nd generation firefighters, continuing the legacy of their father, Carl, who served OKCFD from 1991-2014. 🚒

Some states already lack staff to quickly process #Medicaid applications and answer calls. Researchers say they may not be prepared to handle new work rules, predicting people will lose coverage as a result. #disabilities https://t.co/GIH1iHK6Fp

As people increasingly turn to social media for health advice, a new study finds that much of the content circulating on these online platforms about #autism and #MentalHealth issues is misleading. #disabilities https://t.co/T7FnayD9vj

[Disability Scoop @disabilityscoop]

A key #autism panel that was dramatically reshaped by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is recommending that the federal government embrace the term "#ProfoundAutism," but the way they are going about it is raising red flags. #disabilities https://t.co/73sMQKng3Z

Making it difficult for parents to get what their child with a disability needs. Amongst everything else that parent has to do for a child who needs support they have to fight to get their child’s civil rights and education.

Already hard to talk to someone on the phone if you work full time. This makes it almost impossible. Call me if you want to modernize Social Security. I can point you to the gaps and barriers to help our citizens who receive this benefit.

[Disability Scoop @disabilityscoop]

The #SocialSecurity Administration is warning that some local offices are closed, running on reduced hours or handling visitors by phone only — and urging people to check before they make the trip. #disabilities https://t.co/FLkH79HEhV

#Congress mandates that millions of dollars each year go toward researching best practices in #SpecialEducation, but a new analysis warns that the vast majority of the funds could go unspent this year. #disabilities https://t.co/wpwL4FsomA

Stopped by the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum again as the Devon Tower still had the Survivor Tree logo showing. Tried to get a 180 panorama showing the gates of time at either end.
Also, a west looking shot from 9:01 gate to 9:03 and its reflection.

[OKC THUNDER @okcthunder]

With tomorrow being a day of remembrance in Oklahoma City, the Thunder and MidFirst Bank invite fans attending game 1 to visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. If they wear their game t-shirt, they get free admission through the end of April.
