Fox News: McCarthy won debt fight, now Republicans need to use those strategies to win again

Forbes: Facebook Receipts Project Exposes The Company’s Efforts To Influence Government And Define Regulation
Facebook's real purpose is not to connect people, but to connect data scientists to data that can manipulate the world. The Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2015 marked a turning point for Facebook, which then increased its spending to improve its reputation. However, a recent report shows that Facebook spent nearly 10x more since 2014 on advertising and lobbying, and it's clear that the company is more interested in its future than the people using its platform. The Facebook Receipts project aims to bring transparency to Facebook's spending behind the scenes, revealing a company desperately spending money for self-preservation. It's time for lawmakers to protect our mental well-being and national security by choosing freedom rather than surveillance.

Forbes: Sophie’s Cuban Has Faced Setbacks But Is Thriving: Welcome To The Topsy Turvy World Of Restaurant Chains
Sophie's Cuban is an NYC-based restaurant chain with 11 locations, of which six are company-owned and five are franchised. The restaurant chain had to close nine locations over a 25-year period due to various reasons, including the 9/11 attack and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the restaurant chain recently opened a new eatery in Tribeca and is exploring opening one more outlet by year's end.
Sophie's Cuban is a classic immigrant success story of a hard-working Peruvian female immigrant who opened her first Cuban restaurant in Lower Manhattan in 1997. Despite its setbacks, such as the closure of nine restaurants, the restaurant chain has persevered due to the work ethic instilled in the family by the mother, who started her first restaurant at age 17 in Lima. The restaurant chain stays within New York City, catering mostly to the city's design and educational institutions and generating about 30% of its revenue through third-party deliveries. The chain is also expanding its revenue base through extensive catering services, and looking into future ventures such as a consumer-packaged product and partnerships with private equity companies for expansion.

National Review: Pharmaceutical Company Sues HHS over ‘Sham’ Drug-Price-Negotiation Program
Merck & Co. has filed a lawsuit claiming that the Department of Health and Human Services’ new drug-price negotiation programme is unconstitutional. The programme aims to facilitate affordable prices for Medicare patients and sees HHS negotiating discounts with pharmaceutical companies. If no agreement can be reached, the legislation dictates that firms must stay at the negotiating table or face fines, thereby “tantamount to extortion”. Under the statute, firms must strike a deal that sees their products offered at a 25-60% discount. If a company refuses to do so, they will face an excise tax that starts at 186% and reaches eventually 1,900% of the drug’s daily revenues.
