For 7 months @Cigna hasn't reimbursed routine therapy for my son who has special needs. For 7 months, they have stonewalled me about why, even though the therapy is clearly covered in my policy. For 7 months, I have sat on hold, shuttled from operator to operator. At my wit's end

Today I had the honor and privilege of recognizing House Bill Clerk Peggy Fields. Peggy’s career in public service has been nothing short of remarkable and she has truly made a difference—in the halls of Congress and on behalf of all the people we represent. Thank you, Peggy.

If being in every Jackass movie, xXx, Police Academy 4 and Sharknado 5 doesn’t qualify me to present at the Oscars, then your taste in movies needs readjusting.

@asvokos Me toooooo

@asvokos 1) yes, I love it. 2) honestly, Sam kind of looks like you, and I thought about that every episode.

Hannah Catton was telling them her body was in rebellion. Almost a dozen physicians told her otherwise: She was young and healthy, so it was probably nothing — just a little too much stress. washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/02…

@asvokos @kiaraalfonseca The one-hour commute to no one knowing whether I make it in on time or not definitely didn’t help… but yeah, I have yet to find an alarm or other motivator that makes it easy to wake up early.
