Trump's trail of unpaid bills

Donald Trump casts himself as a protector of workers and jobs, but a USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found hundreds of people — carpenters, dishwashers, painters, even his own lawyers — who say Trump didn’t pay them for their work. A review of about 60 lawsuits and hundreds of liens alleging Trump hasn’t paid suggest that either his companies are bad at hiring workers and assessing contractors, or that they renege on contracts, refuse to pay or consistently attempt to change payment terms after work is complete. Trump's business has even been accused of not passing along tips to wait staff. Also not paying up? A major Trump supporter who is richer than Oprah Winfrey didn't pay state income taxes for three years.

Stanford victim continues to inspire: 'I am every woman'

The prosecutor says Brock Turner, who is scheduled to leave jail three months early, lied to the judge when he said, "coming from a small town in Ohio, I had never really experienced celebrating or partying that involved alcohol." Texts show that he partied with alcohol and drugs in high school. The victim intends to remain anonymous, for now, stating: "I don’t need labels, categories, to prove I am worthy of respect. ... I am every woman."​ Her letter to the man convicted of sexually assaulting her has inspired other survivors to share their stories. If you know someone who's been assaulted, the cast of Girls has some advice. If it's happened to you, get help online anonymously through the National Sexual Assault Hotline. You are not alone.

Obama meets with Sanders, endorses Clinton

It’s official: POTUS is "with Hillary." And so is former opponent Martin O'Malley. And, reportedly, Elizabeth Warren. President Obama formally endorsed Hillary Clinton Thursday, saying: "I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office." The endorsement dropped just after Bernie Sanders met with Obama in the Oval Office. We don’t know exactly what was said, but apparently Sanders didn't see it as a fitting time to make a graceful exit from the race — just as he didn't after Clinton made history by winning enough delegates to secure the nomination. No, Clinton's obstinate opponent has vowed to fight on, at least through the Washington, D.C., primary next week.

No Supreme Court stalemates this time

The Supreme Court is constricted these days by having only eight justices, but that didn’t stop them Thursday from deciding cases from Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico — and perhaps keeping their eye on California. The court ruled 6-2 that Puerto Rico’s ultimate sovereignty stems from Congress, so the commonwealth cannot try two men who already have pleaded guilty to illegal firearms sales in federal court. The court's margin slipped to 5-3 when it slapped a Pennsylvania judge for voting to uphold the death sentence of a man whose prosecution he had supervised three decades earlier. And 3,000 miles away, a federal appeals court upheld California’s restrictions on carrying concealed weapons — an issue that’s likely to reach the Supreme Court in the (perhaps distant) future.
