Unfortunately, a lot of vendors get caught up in situations like this with wealthy individuals or companies who don't pay their bills. Trump famously doesn't pay his bills & bankrupted vendors.
A Bay Area restaurant owner says Elon Musk’s SpaceX owes him $70,000 for two dinners he catered in Palo Alto. “That’s not even a penny for them,” he said. sfchronicle.com/food/restaur…

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just highlighted how Donald Trump's policies just created the largest jump in inflation since May. This is the WORST possible news for Republicans ahead of the midterms. Spread it everywhere.

@Lancegooden I hear you and your wife like to pay for a 3rd party to join you in bed, using taxpayer dollars and campaign funds, and this especially occurs in Las Vegas. Is it true?

I am Ruth “Truth” Torres, I give my word. I was told this by a Texas GOP consultant who stated they personally know Lance & his wife, they came up to me, gave the info & told me to look deeply at expense reports & that they wanted me to win. I wouldn’t have even known to ask.

Households in the contiguous United States will pay thousands of dollars more for energy through 2040 because of federal policy changes since President Trump returned to office, according to modeling released Friday by a nonpartisan think tank. abcnews.link/iqA2Txc

$227 million stripped from Texas schools to fund Greg Abbott's corrupt voucher scam. $68 million from Houston ISD alone. Our kids suffer while Abbott's donors get rich. When I'm Governor, I will end the voucher scam and save our neighborhood schools.
Nearly half of the 80 school districts in the Houston-Galveston region may lose a combined $68 million in funding after some 8,000 students left for Texas vouchers. houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

.@GregAbbott_TX is the person most responsible for TX public schools being gutted to give taxpayer $$ to wealthy private school families & crooked voucher vendors. Abbott's hostility to public schools alone disqualify him to continue as TX Governor. houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

Abbott absolutely HATES public schools in Texas. He has worked for years to utterly and completely destroy those schools. He has sold his soul to Tim Dunn and Jeff Yass and is now OWNED by those billionaire Christian Nationalists.

Property taxes have gone up 85% under Greg Abbott. I have never, not once, voted to raise Texans’ property taxes.

You are correct. The choice is absolutely clear.
The choice could not be clearer. Ken Paxton has fought for life, parental rights, school choice, the Second Amendment, public safety, border security, religious freedom, and protection from foreign threats. James Talarico’s record tells a very different story. On issue after issue, his positions are simply too radical for Texas. Look at the record. Compare the choices. Defend Texas. Pick Paxton.

Chris Murphy: "On April 30 -- a Thursday -- Reynolds, one of the biggest tobacco countries in the country, makes an $8 million donation to the president. Two days later on Saturday, they have lunch with the president and tell him they want a change in FDA rules, especially regarding flavored vapes. The presidents calls the FDA commissioner and secretary of HHS, and three days later, on Tuesday, new guidance is issued that paves the way to the sale of flavored vapes. That is not a coincidence."

Gina Hinojosa on Greg Abbott refusing to debate her: “He’s hiding from his record. It is indefensible. He’s been in charge for 12 years now and I just went through the stats: the most uninsured, the most bankruptcies, the most people disconnected from their electricity. That is his record, he owns it and he’s hiding from it and he’s hiding from the voters. He would be a fool to debate me at this point because his record is trash”

Why did the media not cover the Ashley St. Clair statement in any depth? Should have been front page headlines, but appears to have been deprived of any oxygen. Maybe one day…

The DOJ indicted “Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver in one of the largest-ever crypto tax fraud cases. Those familiar with the case said the evidence was “rock solid” and that prosecutors were confident of a conviction. Then Donald Trump won a second term. propublica.org/article/bitco…

In a time when America looks more like 1938 Germany than any Norman Rockwell painting, this reminder is especially apropos.
