Dear Amy: My friend “Cynthia” and I have become much closer recently, as we have both gone through divorces and shared our experiences (I’m a guy).Cynthia recently moved back into the area after living a few states away, and we have been able to go out a few times.I am enjoying finally being on my own after a very mentally and emotionally draining divorce.I have been very open that I will not be sleeping around, and I have stated that I am interested in pursuing a long-term relationship with her, with the idea that we can begin exploring moving in together sometime next year.I have recently come across a TikTok page of Cynthia’s that (basically) is filled with videos airing out every small disagreement we’ve ever had, not to mention presenting me as a guy who “won’t commit” because I want to take my time working toward moving in together.These videos get thousands of views, and some of the comments (mostly very negative ones at my expense) include references ...

Home Rule Act of 1973, which gives D.C. residents the ability to govern their local affairs.The bill does not spell out exactly how Congress would take over the powers that now reside with Mayor Muriel Bowser and the 13 members of the D.C.
