@Amtrak Fix your ticketing system! This is the 2nd USA Rail Pass where I checked the box for a PWD pass. My confirmation email says it. When I book a segment, I check the “Passenger has assistance requests” box. But the system doesn’t show accessible ticket for ticket takers!

@theHillisHome What time does it end?

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Last year, Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & the ACA by $1 TRILLION under the guise of "fighting fraud."

Yet Trump has issued 15 pardons to healthcare execs & others who defrauded $2 BILLION from taxpayers.

Kicking millions off their care while actual fraudsters get off free.

Although it’s only mid-April, we could be talking about our first heat wave next week. 🥵

At least a day or two of 90s are possible, and it could be more.

By Monday, temperatures are likely to rise to 80 or above. Tuesday, Wednesday and perhaps Thursday could all make runs to or above 90. If so, it would be the earliest 90s in Washington since 2013 when it reached 91 on April 10. The average first 90-degree day in D.C. is May 18.

Records may be in play for Tuesday, Wednesday and perhaps Thursday. In D.C., the marks to reach are 91 (1960) on Tuesday and 89 (1941) on Wednesday. Thursday’s record is 92 (2002).

Heat could continue beyond, but it’s a little less certain day-to-day given the distance. Overall, signs point to a mostly warmer-than-normal back half of April.

Nikki Hiltz, a transgender & non-binary Olympian, speaks out against the event’s new anti-trans policy:

“I don't know who needs to hear this but ZERO trans women competed in the Paris Olympics. Only ONE trans woman weightlifter competed in Tokyo 2021 and she did not win a medal. Can we please stop obsessing over trans people? And idk maybe focus our time, energy, and resources into real problems women's sports face?”

It's an anti-masker tactic to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.

What if we were all just relieved that there wasn't a tornado in a densely populated area...

[Capital Weather @capitalweather]

* SERIOUS severe storm POTENTIAL on Monday *

The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has placed the area in a level 3 out of 5 risk zone for severe storms on Monday, which is an unusually high level for our region this many days in advance. The exact timing of storms is still to be determined but any time between early afternoon and around sunset is possible. The storms should move through rather quickly but could pack a dangerous punch.

An unusually intense cold front will be passing through and storms along and ahead of it could produce damaging wind gusts, hail and even tornadoes.

As is often the case with potential thunderstorm events, exactly how widespread severe storms are and the places that will get hit hardest are difficult to pinpoint. There’s some possibility the storms don’t reach their potential if clouds and cool air linger on Monday, reducing available energy.

The Weather Service is urging residents carefully monitor forecasts and be prepared for a significant outbreak of severe weather.

@Amtrak PS- Your agents shouldn’t hang up on me when I’ve been on hold for an hour trying to get this sorted.

[Sarah @SarahHassmer]

@Amtrak I than you for calling me to alert me that BWI’s elevator is out, but I shouldn’t lose my seats on my trains booked via the USA rail pass when trying to find an accessible station!!
