During the global pandemic, unemployment has ballooned in the United States.

Not only do those people need unemployment benefits, which Congress addressed in the relief package created in the Democratically controlled House of Representatives, but many also lost their health insurance with their jobs.


However Congress already addressed that when the Affordable Care Act was passed. The law provides a provision for the executive branch to reopen enrollment during periods of extraordinary need.

As of Wednesday, April 1, the 2020 election is 215 days away. In addition to the President, all members of the House of Representatives and 35 members of the Senate up for reelection.

Woman Horrified After Accidentally Shattering Roommate's $249 Louis Vuitton Chocolate Purse

There are a few "roommate etiquette" rules we should all be able to agree to: don't use or take something that doesn't belong to you, at least without asking; don't eat your roommate's food; and honestly, don't touch their food, especially with your bare hands.
