Editor's note: This article was originally published on April 4, 2023. It has since been updated. Chelsea Torres, a 30-year-old pharmacy technician from Blackfoot, Idaho, is raising awareness about conjoined twins through her twin daughters, Callie and Carter. The twins, who are now six years old, are connected from the sternum down and share a liver, intestinal tract, and bladder, but have separate hearts and stomachs. While it was difficult for Torres when the girls were babies, she now shares photos and videos on social media to raise awareness and educate others about life with conjoined twins. “During the summer, we live at the pool,” Torres tells TODAY. “You’ll see us at the mall and at expos. We’re always out doing something.”

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Aurora, CO

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
