An email saying your Social Security Statement is ready? Don’t fall for it.
I got one this week. The link doesn't lead to a statement—it goes to a bogus SSA website designed to download software that could give scammers remote access to your computer.
Here's more:

Look what is in a towaway zone between a library and a playground. I reported it, but no hope it will get fixed. It's hard for drivers and short people (like kids! Or me!) to see each other around a pickup truck...which is why parking there isn't allowed! @charlesallen @LAppiah
Dpw ticketed it again. That clearly is not a deterrent for this driver, and does not make the crosswalk safe for everyone using it between @dcpl and @AppleTreeInst, @AmidonBowenVIBE, @gocodough, the new arts center, Safeway, etc.
I will take off work if @lappiah, @DC_OCA , @charlesallen, or any other DC government employee with the ability to call a tow truck will spend a day walking around with me (or we could do a weekend!). I bet we could find cars with unpaid tickets totalling over $100k.
There are at least three tow eligible vehicles on the single block of Delaware Ave SW north of I street (more between the circle and Randall rec). @LAppiah and @charlesallen and @MayorBowser may say they care about traffic safety but this would not happen if they actually did.
If @charlesallen or any other @councilofdc folks drop by the art center opening in SW today, be sure to also check out the 900 block of Wesley Pl, which has many tow-eligible vehicles that have not been acted on by @dcdpw

This proposed plan is absolutely unacceptable.
Here’s what the plan actually does: 36 holes of public golf cut to 18. No more mini golf. No more park. More running / cycling road. No more playground. No more introductory course. Nobody has said a word about the Cherry blossoms.
Who is this actually for? Not the kid learning to golf. Not the family in a walk. Not the birders.
This was never about the public. It’s for the elitists who want a private showcase, and one man’s ego.
People have asked why I care so much about getting scofflaw vehicles off the road: today one rear-ended me. It had over $6k in unpaid tickets, no insurance, and registration that expired over 2 years ago.
We all pay for DC's lack of traffic enforcement: some of us just in time, money, and frustration, and others with our bodies and lives.
When @RobertWhite_DC @BrianneKNadeau @charlesallen and others say that traffic enforcement is regressive, they forget that low-income people are most physically and financially at risk when they are hit by bad drivers.
Error in @HillRagDC article about candidates: confuses the Rhonda Hamilton running for mayor (who lives in NE) with the ANC Commissioner in SW by the same name. @ekogorek
The bill allows a "promoter or organizer of a District-licensed special event" to hire off-duty DPW staff for parking enforcement. If I organize a Follow Traffic Laws event and pay a reimbursable detail, will they only ticket or can they boot and tow too?
D.C. is empowering colleges and business districts to write parking tickets.
Here comes a big fight over the cost of D.C. traffic tickets, at a time when Metro gets more expensive, groceries go up and inflation appears just about everywhere. axios.com/local/washington-d…
Why is the captioning on @nbcsnl so bad on the Peacock replay? It's not live then; it shouldn't be hard to get it right!

One extra cruel twist here: DHS froze green applications for 75 countries. Refugees and others who should have green cards by now but don't are among those who are losing eligibility for Medicaid (and, in Jan., marketplace).

Within blocks of home I just found 7 tow-eligible vehicles that collectively owe over $20k. If DC had a 311 code to report these, plus weekend towing, adequate tow lots, and tow trucks with plate readers, we'd be closer to vision zero and it would free up spots for other cars!
I reported the one that was too close to a hydrant and @DCDPW actually came out! And...just gave it another ticket instead of towing to improve fire safety. This on the 300 block of G SW, same block with a fatal apartment fire a few years ago. @dcfireems @charlesallen
