@ChaseSupport Hi Chase Bank (Support) -- I tried to use my card today at a place I've used it multiple times in the past (at least once in the last 3 or 4 weeks), & it was declined twice. I'd like to find out why. Can you please help me??

[M.B. Manthe 🇺🇦 @heathmocha]

... price will go upe once we no longer have the "bundled w/ home insurance" discount? Can we find out tonight, or should we just wait until Sat. to call & ask about it? (We called 1 number & they were closed, but since you were helpful, I'm asking 1 more question.) Thanks.

Hi again @progressive -- First, thanks again for the new contact number. I found someone who WAS helpful.
2nd, we're probably switching to another company for homeowners' insurance anyway, but keeping the auto coverage w/ Progressive. How can we find out how much our auto...

Hey @progressive -- We have our homeowners' insurance (& auto) with you, with AAA insurance as our agent. We just renewed it for the coming year, but the cost for 2025 is a 70% (SEVENTY PERCENT) increase from 2024. The underwriter is ASI, Am Strategic Insurance. We've called...

@progressive Phil, you've given me a number that I haven't already called, and thus a shred of hope that someone there might actually have the info we've been seeking. Thank you for that! And please wish us luck.

... AAA insurance, AND Progressive, AND another number that's linked to ASI, *multiple times* trying to find out WHY THIS HUGE INCREASE in our premium. The 2024 Homeowner Declaration Page shows line-by-line "Limit" & "Premium" amounts in 2 columns. But the 2025 Declaratn...

...cost breakdown anymore." The thing is, those 🤬🤬🤬 had to come from SOMEWHERE, & with that big a jump, we're not gonna just take your word for it that the numbers are fair & correct. We're ready to switch to another co & already have a quote, but srsly, why can't anyone...

[M.B. Manthe 🇺🇦 @heathmocha]

...tell us WHY our premium went up so much?? It's such a big jump that most of the ppl we've called have been like, "Wow, that *IS* a lot." No 🤬 kidding it's a lot! So this is basically a last-ditch attempt to get a clear answer since phone calls haven't worked. ...

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Whenever a politician claims that God is on their side, all they are doing is reducing God to a mere tool of manipulation in order to get people on their side.

It is blasphemy. It is using God’s name in vain.

Christians should be the loudest ones opposing such behavior.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Do someone who knifes you and someone who blames you for being attacked have the right to go to a bar afterwards and write out your future on a napkin? No? That’s the scenario when Putin and Trump talk about a "deal" for Ukraine.

The Secretary of Agriculture announced yesterday that the Admin is about to ask Congress for hundreds of billions to bail out farmers because of Trump’s tariffs.

The further attempt to sensationalize the matter by arresting Judge Dugan - instead of simply asking her to appear - was wholly unnecessary and certainly appears to be designed solely to intimidate. Very unfortunate. 15/
