Elon Musk’s America PAC didn’t keep its promise to pay swing state voters who signed a pro-Trump petition ahead of the 2024 election, and who enlisted others to do the same, a new lawsuit alleges.

The case, a proposed national class action suit, was filed within the last week in a federal court in the Eastern district of Pennsylvania, a state that was viewed as critical to Donald Trump’s effort to return to the White House.

A related case was filed in April that only applied to residents of Pennsylvania.

Lead plaintiffs are three people who participated in the America PAC initiative while they were living in Pennsylvania, Nevada and Georgia. One formally worked as a canvasser for America PAC in Michigan and in Georgia, the complaint says.

In his efforts to propel Trump to victory, Musk spent around $300 million while also stumping at rallies and online for his preferred candidate. Musk, the world’s wealthiest person, had offered payments — initially $47 and later $100 — to those who signed a petition supporting his pro-Trump PAC. Additional payments were offered for each eligible person they referred who signed the petition.

Like a child, Trump gets excited at his favorite burgerslop being available. Its hilarious watching Amerifats getting played by their superiors

Not everyone enjoys sampling the local cuisine when visiting another country – but US president Donald Trump has taken things to a new level.

During his state visit to Saudi Arabia, his first since re-entering the White House in January, Trump has been followed around by a portable McDonald’s.

A White House official confirmed a mobile McDonald’s food truck has been brought in to Riyadh during the president’s visit.

The US president began his four-day Middle East trip on Tuesday, as Air Force One was escorted by Saudi Air Force jets, his motorcade flanked by white Arabian horses carrying US and Saudi flags, and Prince Mohammed rolled out the lavender carpet for him.

The US president returned the favour by fawning over the crown prince throughout his speech at the Saudi-US investment forum at the The King Abdulaziz Conference Center in Riyadh.

After standing before the crowd as ‘God Bless the USA’ by Lee Greenwald played, Trump began praising the kingdom and its de facto ruler.

At the Environmental Protection Agency, research at 11 laboratories has ground to a halt because the Trump administration has not approved most new lab purchases.

At the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, key work on weather forecasting has slowed to a crawl because Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick must sign off personally on many contracts and grants. And at the Social Security Administration, some employees are running out of paper, pens and printer toner because the U.S. DOGE Service has placed a $1 spending limit on government-issued credit cards. (DOGE stands for Department of Government Efficiency, though it is not a Cabinet-level agency.)

Across the federal government, Trump officials are halting a wide range of operations by declining to approve key funds. This unofficial hold on many activities has incapacitated many agencies’ divisions, even though they remain technically intact.

2025 promises to be a particularly busy year Lauren Sánchez. In addition to her marriage to billionaire Jeff Bezos, the 55-year-old former TV host is preparing to make her debut at the Cannes Film Festival, where she will be honored at the Global Gift Foundation annual charity gala presided over by Eva Longoria and Maria Bravo. At the event, held on the Croisette, the bride-to-be will receive the Global Gift Empowerment Award for her commitment to climate justice with the Bezos Earth Fund and social justice with This Is About Humanity, an organization dedicated to reuniting families separated at the U.S.-Mexican border.

Last month, Sánchez and five other women—including Katy Perry and Gayle King—took part in a space mission organized by Blue Origin, a company founded by Bezos. The expedition made history as the first female suborbital flight since that of Valentina Terechkova, the first woman in space, in 1963. Bezos and Sánchez are also gearing up for a June wedding that will reportedly count Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Leonardo DiCaprio among its guests. The couple have another Cannes connection: in 2023, they celebrated their engagement in the midst of the fest.

Those of us who are old enough remember “Baghdad Bob,” the colorful (and later iconic) spokesman for Iraq and President Saddam Hussein during Desert Storm.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, the Minister of Information, would blatantly lie about the war — in one instance insisting that the allied forces hadn’t even reached Baghdad while bombs exploded behind him and tanks rolled into the airport.

Donald Trump has his own Baghdad Bob — Baghdad Barbie? — in Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary. She has been caught in lie after lie, but continues to feed them to the American public while taking softball questions for right-wing influencers who are part of the press corps.

In an interview on Tuesday with Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, Leavitt was asked about Trump’s acceptance of a $400 million luxury jet — called “a palace in the sky” — from Qatar, a clear violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution, scholars said.

“Do you worry that if they Qataris give us something like this that they’ll want something in return?” Kilmeade asked.

“Absolutely not,” Leavitt said, “because they know President Trump and they know he only works with the interests of the American public in mind.”

The backlash was immediate on social media, where one user asked: “Did she actually say that with a straight face?” Asked another: “Is her nose growing?” Still another: “If anyone ever deserved a raise for lying, Leavitt should be the first in line.”

This is similar to the lie she told on Friday when she said: “I think it’s frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service ... this is a president who has actually lost money for being president.”

He can't keep getting away with it. Trump must be stopped. The man has no right to stop price gouging of prescription drug prices in the US, it's nothing like when I supported Biden for going after the price gouging caused by Biden revoking leases for oil drilling, this only proves trump is a fascist Nazi.
Oh, I'm trans btw

Trump signs order aiming to cut some U.S. drug prices to match lower ones abroad

President Donald Trump on Monday revived a controversial policy that aims to slash drug costs by tying the prices of some medicine in the U.S. to the significantly lower ones abroad.

Trump signed an executive order including several different actions to renew that effort, known as the “most favored nation” policy. He did not refer to specific nations, but signaled that he would target other developed countries because “there are some countries that need some additional help, and that’s fine.”

“Basically, what we’re doing is equalizing,” Trump said during a press event on Monday. “We are going to pay the lowest price there is in the world. We will get whoever is paying the lowest price, that’s the price that we’re going to get.”

White House officials did not disclose which medications the order will apply to, but said it will impact the commercial market as well as Medicare and Medicaid. They said Monday’s announcement will be broader than a similar policy that Trump tried to push during his first term, which only applied to Medicare Part B drugs.

Officials added that the administration will have a particular focus on drugs that have the “largest disparities and largest expenditures,” which could include popular weight loss and diabetes treatments called GLP-1 drugs.

Egg prices are stabilizing after a sharp run-up earlier this year, but grocery shoppers are already getting used to shelling out more for those and other pantry staples.

After peaking at $6.55 in mid-March, a dozen eggs sold for an average of $5.45 nationwide as of the week ending April 19, according to the latest data available from the market research firm NIQ. The ongoing decline is welcome news for consumers, but it comes amid higher prices for a number of pantry staples even as inflation overall has cooled.

The price surge has shifted shoppers’ expectations, and many have begun to make peace with much higher costs, however grudgingly. The average price consumers say they’d pay for a dozen eggs is $5.56, the market research firm Numerator reported last month, up sharply from $4.90 in January.

“This increased willingness to pay over the past few months indicates consumers are growing accustomed to higher egg prices, either consciously or subconsciously,” the researchers said.

And it isn’t just eggs: Many shoppers are bracing to pay more for groceries overall as they shift focus toward covering essentials.

Many are now planning to trim their spending this summer on everything from clothing and furniture to travel, according to a survey the consulting firm KPMG released in late April. Groceries were one of just two categories where shoppers said they expect to spend more.

“Tariffs have gone from background noise to front and center for consumers — and their grocery receipts show it,” Heather Rice, consumer and retail tax leader at KPMG, said in a statement with the results. “Shoppers are more price-sensitive than ever, and many are connecting rising costs directly to tariffs.”
