It’s a historic day in Denver - the first time we’ve closed an encampment by moving people into housing. Our first #MovingDay proves the best way to address the issue of homelessness is by focusing on the cause, not the symptom. 🧵

Denver officials have just released a 22-page “Newcomers Playbook: A Guide to Welcoming Newcomers into Your City”. This is a guide that tells other cities how to follow the Denver model of bringing illegals into a city. I wish I was joking, but this is reality. We need to vote

I met with @MikeJohnstonCO recently; he had tears in his eyes as he spoke about family & friends impacted by gun violence. And again when he spoke about his colleagues recalled by the @NRA after they worked to pass sweeping, lifesaving gun reform in #COleg . This is his priority.

I’m proud of what Denver is doing to get people off the streets. This is about moving people out of hopelessness and into hope.

Welcome to Denver, @TurkishAirlines ! We're thrilled to announce @DENAirport 's 26th airline. The flight to Istanbul is now the longest direct flight out of Denver. Turkish Airlines will connect us even more to the world, and it'll have a great economic impact on Colorado.

Huge thanks to @SenRhondaFields and @RepEpps for their courage and leadership in bringing forward the assault weapons ban. This is a common sense gun solution that can keep Coloradans safe; this morning we know the work is not done, and we remain committed to marching forward.

So proud to partner with United Airlines last week to open the largest flight training center in the world, right here in East Denver! United already has 10,000 employees who call Denver home, and now more than 20,000 pilots will come here every year for training.
