Houston families hammered with inexplicably high water bills as mayor’s office delays plan
SUMMARY: Houston resident Brandon Mora received an unusually high water bill of $1,379.98, significantly more than the typical $150 his family pays. Despite using an average of 6,000-9,000 gallons of water per month, their bills showed 17,000-18,000 gallons usage, leading to high charges. Mora reached out to Houston Public Works after discovering that the meter had been damaged by rodents, compromising the accuracy of their water usage readings. After the city replaced the meter, no adjustments were made to the family’s bills and fees continued to accrue. Despite promises from Houston Mayor John Whitmire to address the issue, a plan to fix the water bill system has been delayed.

FBI says bullet struck former President Donald Trump’s ear during assassination attempt at Pennsylvania rally on July 13
SUMMARY: The FBI confirmed that former President Donald Trump was struck by a bullet in the ear during an assassination attempt on July 13, contradicting earlier uncertainty from FBI Director Christopher Wray. Trump criticized Wray's Congress testimony questioning whether he was hit by a bullet or shrapnel. Texas Representative Ronny Jackson, also Trump's former physician, supported Trump's claim, stating there was no evidence of it being anything other than a bullet. The FBI's investigation continues as they examine bullet fragments from the rally site. Trump insists the injury was caused by a bullet and pledges to fire Wray if re-elected.
