Anonymous I run a small pizza shop. Deliveries mostly. Late nights. Got a call at 10 PM. Woman’s voice shaking. “Can you deliver to Sunset Motel?” “Yes ma’am. What would you like?” Long pause. “What can I get for six dollars? I have three kids.” Six dollars wouldn’t cover one pizza. “We have a special tonight. Family meal. Three pizzas, breadsticks, drinks. Six dollars.” No such special. She started crying. “Really?” Made the pizzas myself. Added wings. Cookies. Juice boxes. Drove it over. She opened the door. Bruises on her neck. Three little kids behind her. Terrified. Quiet. “Thank you. You don’t understand.” I did understand. Started happening weekly. She’d call. I’d have a special ready. Month three she didn’t call anymore. Worried me. Two months later she walked in. Different person. Confident. Had a job. Apartment. Kids looked healthy. Happy. Handed me three hundred dollars. “For all the specials that weren’t real. I knew.” Tried to refuse. “Please. Let me pay forward.” That money started a fund. When someone calls from a shelter or motel desperate, we use it. Six years now. Over a thousand meals delivered. She’s a paralegal. Refers families to us constantly. Works with domestic violence survivors. Her oldest is in high school. Works at my shop weekends. “Because you fed us when we were running. Now I want to feed others.” Last Saturday she delivered to a family at that same motel. Came back crying. “That was us five years ago. Now I get to be you.”

@Uber_Support Do you have it all yet? Did you let the driver know? 2nd Time you all have done that to me. Not nice at all. Had to wake up my wife and 2 grandgirls this time. Had to call a cab in Omaha last time.

We're sorry to hear about this. We’re unable to locate the trip you’ve mentioned based on the information shared. To help us look into this further, could you please provide the date and time of the trip, as well as the email address and mobile number associated with it? We look forward to your response.

Not only did @Uber driver reserved yesterday for today, fail to show & pick me up, @UberSupport said it never happened. I sent them pic of supposed 5.0 rated driver & $79 charged to my account. Horrendous customer service & no regard for my event in LA nor my family. Refund NOW

@Uber_Support TD of unneeded stress with the overall incompetence.

@Uber_Support I have sent you screen shots several times?

@Uber_Support 03/21 at 4:15 AM 16688 Oakbrook Dr to Des Moines International Airport. The trip was reserved the night before, Ryan was the driver, my account was charged, the 5.0 rated driver did not show up, the ride never happened, I was charged $79 plus. How can you not have or find this?

@Matt_Pinner All

I got only 3 point. You?

@Uber Reserved 5 Star driver Just no showed for an important ride to airport in Des Moines and no recourse or call? Horrible customer service and no options

@ScottAMeyersLA @spencerpratt In context at time- National Guard in cooperation with local law enforcement as done in West Virginia only and Army Corp of Engineers set up FEMA like MASH Tents for triage and treatment and appropriate referral of people devastated by homelessness. paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-news-and-s…

Eradicating the homeless problem starts with; 1) Drug dealing enforcement; 2) Confiscation of openly used drugs. A dealer cannot display his product in cities contiguous to L.A., with one exception: Santa Monica, which has the same homeless problem that L.A. does. Even Rev. Andy Bales of the Union Rescue Mission said if he were the Mayor, he would call in the National Guard if he had to. But Karen Bass disparages any use of the National Guard to rid our streets of these felons who are killing about 5 human beings each day. But the dealers are un-worried about law enforcement, that is, unless their drugs kill a well-liked celebrity like Matthew Perry. It is only then that they get arrested and prosecuted. @abales

LA has spent billions on homelessness and the streets are worse. As Mayor I’ll require treatment, tie contracts to results, and audit every dollar being spent. If you want real accountability at City Hall, help us keep building this campaign. Donate at MayorPratt.com

Joe Kent’s resignation letter confirms what we already knew to be true — there was no imminent threat from Iran. There was no national security threat to our country. Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, etc… are lying to the American people. And to the world.

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, both Senators Republican Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis are saying they will vote against a motion to proceed on Donald Trump's Save Act. This is amazing.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

On behalf of the Christians of the #MiddleEast, and of all women and men of good will, I appeal to those responsible for this conflict: cease fire! May paths of dialogue be reopened! Violence can never lead to the justice, stability and peace for which the peoples are waiting.
