Surreal to watch a Firehawk attacking a fire from my house in #Boulder. Very grateful for everyone who voted for the two bills we ran a few years ago to buy these for the state to have better rapid response before fires grow out of control. #bluebellfire#copolitics#coleg
Not exactly "mission accomplished," but positive news nonetheless: Colorado air quality protections cut greenhouse gases by 70%, new study from environmental group shows https://t.co/RLEyuVqKAr via @coloradosun
In case you missed it live, a full recording of my rapid-response livestream regarding news surrounding the proposed imminent and sudden dismantling of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is now available. https://t.co/NzpLIPcAYW
Psst: Notice where this wind/weather data is coming from. It's coming from NCAR.
One tiny blip of the kajillion things NCAR does to improve/advance weather forecasting.

NCAR is crucial to cutting-edge meteorology and improvements in weather forecasting. It's far, far bigger than a "climate" research lab. This is self-sabotage by a wildly ignorant and malicious administration cutting off their nose to spite their face. Find a better scapegoat.
50,000 residents are without power today because @XcelEnergyCO shut the grid down due to extreme fire risk. We're days away from the anniversary of the Marshall Fire. And because @GovofCO won't release convicted felon @tinapeters from prison, he's closing Boulder's @NCAR_Science in retribution. NCAR is not "climate alarmism"--it's critical public safety, a bulwark against China and national security threats, and an innovating economic engine for American industry. This is an irresponsible embarrassment that puts us at risk.
Political assassinations become more frequent and normalized when our rhetoric becomes more vile and dehumanizing. If we want it to stop, we must all do better. All of us.
Everything you wanted to know about the upcoming CO special session. Which is probably very little, but this is a great summary by @JesseAPaul and @brianeason

One time a bunch of us held a candidate debate for a congressional race and @andreagibson asked one of the questions. It made the candidates cry.

Andrea Gibson, a master of spoken-word poetry who cultivated legions of admirers with intensely personal, often political works exploring gender, love and a personal four-year fight with terminal ovarian cancer, has died at 49. https://t.co/9GktOeLAO2
My god this is heartbreaking. Melissa was such a good-hearted public servant.
Live Updates: Minnesota Lawmaker Is Assassinated in Act of ‘Targeted Political Violence’ https://t.co/5cmaFBAszf via @NYTimes
I wish my friend @Paul_Lundeen only the best in his next chapter, but this is a big loss for Colorado. I'm going to abstain from the obligatory "we disagreed at times, but..." because it's irrelevant. Simply put, Paul is a good man, dedicated public servant, and wise observer of life. Thank you for your partnership and service, Paul. #coleg #copolitics
Today saw a horrible act of violence at a weekly gathering of Boulder Jewish community members. Let’s all hope the victims will be okay with a fast recovery. We all must commit to being more careful about our rhetoric and how it can lead to people doing horrible things to others.
Those macaroni penguins didn’t see it coming.
“Among the most puzzling parts of the world hit with the blanket 10 percent tariffs are the Heard and McDonald Islands, remote volcanic islands. The ecologically pristine islands are home to vast numbers of macaroni penguins, Antarctic fur seals and the endangered black-browed albatross, but no humans.”
