I can't believe all the stuff happening in the world, and my in-real-life. Just give us a break. It hasn't yet been a year since brain surgery! We're getting rain, and I'm getting pain at my neck and incision scar today. Come on, give us all a break

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

D.C. residents saw Pepco bills skyrocket this winter The cold weather is only part of the story.

Here is an article about how many people in DC and the surrounding area are seeing their #PEPCO bills double and more. It may be due to #datacenters. People who are on housing vouchers should not be experiencing this, of all people.

They took advantage of an elderly man with a head injury and his son with mental health issues, who is on the spectrum. I am so glad the FIL's cognition has markedly improved.

ffs my FIL's real primary care doctor says there is absolutely no evidence my FIL has metastasis from prostate cancer.. They made it up. He needs home care, not hospice, jfc

Trump gets angry at Fox News' Peter Doocy for asking about Russia helping Iran to kill Americans during his roundtable on college sports.

Trump: "What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else."

I don't know? I really don't. It hasn't affected us yet, but it's happened just a few miles away. I feel like it's a matter of time

There are a lot of people getting tax refunds, and there are a lot of people who need help! It seems like there should be a matching service ๐Ÿ˜‰. Let's hope some people start getting generous soon.

And they say it's because of the strain from data centers on our East Coast power grid! I don't know anyone who can afford this. Mine hasn't gone up yet, we are across the city

It really is hardship and she's one of many DC residents, and no one can explain the disparity. Like yes, she has 6 kids and they live in a larger home, but even with that it increased $400

D.C. residents revolt over utility bill hikes Energy costs in D.C. have surged 93.2% in five years โ€” the largest spike in the country.

The Snack Kid's mom Alexis is one of thousands of victims of predatory power bills. Her home is large and energy was $700 last month.

Our energy bill on the other side of town is about $150 and they used to live on this side of the city
