Cory Mills being evicted after failing to pay $85k in rent
Mills, 45, has been staying at a swanky D.C. apartment building that overlooks the Potomac River in the capital's bustling southwest neighborhood.
It's the same residence that D.C. police responded to after the congressman's girlfriend reported him to authorities for allegedly assaulting her, though she later recanted her complaint.
Now, the property manager claims that the sophomore lawmaker owes over $85,000 in rent, according to local court filings first reported by journalist Roger Sollenberger.
Documents from D.C.'s superior court show that the Republican has failed to pay his $20,000 per month rent on time, and in some cases, missed certain payments altogether.
Mills's office did not respond to the Daily Mail's request for comment. The congressman did, however, speak to Sollenberger, telling him the link to pay his rent was broken, the journalist wrote on X.
According to a ledger of rent payments obtained by the journalist, Mills has been late on rent 18 times, including not paying rent at all certain months.
He has also payed back some of the missing months, though he still owes the property $85,000 for 'total rent due' from March 2025 to July 2025, according to the court documents.

The files allege that Mills was first given a notice for failure to pay in January.
'I know facts are unusual and unfamiliar thing for you, but here's just the past two months where you can see I'm repeatedly asking for payment links and again as I tried with management today, it failed to process,' Mills responded to the journalist's initial report.
''Error code 108 typically indicates an issue with the Windows Installer Service, often meaning another installation is already running. It can also be related to bank connectivity problems in financial software,"' the Republican said, claiming his payment portal has been faulty.
It comes after it was revealed that Mills was embroiled in a domestic dispute with a woman who is not his wife in February. The congressman is in the midst of getting a divorce from his wife Rana Al Saadi, he has said.
Sarah Raviani, a co-founder of Iranians for Trump, phoned the police after '(Her significant other for over a year) grabbed her, shoved her, and pushed her out of the door' of his apartment, a copy of the initial incident report obtained by NBC claims.

Raviani showed 'bruises on her arm which appeared fresh', the report stated, in addition to claiming that Mills instructed her to lie to authorities about what took place.
However, Raviani told the Daily Mail in a statement earlier this year that 'no assault took place' and downplayed the incident.
She also shared that Mills is a Christian who actively attends church and regularly prays - an admission meant to bat down allegations that the congressman may not be as devout as he has led some to believe.

Son of Sam killer invited me into dark world… he was like ‘Jack the Ripper with a gun' but cowardly admission stunned me
HALF a century ago serial killer David Berkowitz began his reign of terror in New York city - shooting random women at point blank range. Today the question remains, why did the man - calling himself The Son of Sam - go on this murderous rampage? 11 11 Berkowitz, 72, who is serving a life sentence for six murders and seven attempted murders, decided to confess all in a series of taped interviews in 1980. Now journalist Jack D Jones has revealed the contents of those interviews in a new Netflix documentary titled Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes. Jones, who covered prison and had spoken to many inmates, became obsessed with Berkowitz - even visiting him at weekends during his free time. Having sat across from one of America's most notorious serial killers for hours on end, the reporter believes Berkowitz took 'gratification' from seeing victims' families grieve and, in his twisted mind, wanted to be 'a hero'. Berkowitz, though, is a slippery character who keeps changing his story. After being caught he told detectives that a 6,000-year-old demon, speaking through the dog of his neighbour Sam Carr, ordered him to commit the murders. But he told Jack that story was a 'sham' to excuse slaying 'innocent people'. Jack says: 'He was a modern Jack the Ripper character with a gun. This was some crazy motherf***er.' When the reporter received a letter from New York's notorious Attica prison in 1980 with the name D Berkowitz on it, he could hardly believe it. Just three years earlier the former US soldier had been caught by police following the biggest manhunt in New York's history. Netflix drops trailer for harrowing new true crime doc The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness The Son of Sam had targeted young women with long brunette hair, often firing at the men they were with as well. Having stabbed two young women in December 1975, both of whom survived the vicious attacks, he switched to using a .44 caliber handgun. From his first shooting in July 1976 to a final failed plan to commit a massacre in August 1977, fear spread across the Big Apple. Both young men and women stopped going out at night as the police appeared powerless to stop a killer who struck at will. When Berkowitz was apprehended, police officers found bizarre messages scrawled in red all over the walls of his spartan apartment. He was a modern Jack the Ripper character with a gun Jack D Jones To the world, this loner was a dangerous 'nut job'. But that is not the impression Berkowitz gave when Jack first met him. 'Berkowitz comes over, bounds round the table and to my surprise he stuck his hand out and says 'hi, I'm David,'" Jack recalls. 'He's the last person you'd expect to be a serial killer.' Intrigued, Jack wanted to know what his motivation was for ending the lives of so many young people. Over the weeks he says 'we formed an ongoing relationship' and slowly Berkowitz opened up about his past. Making of a murderer Berkowitz was adopted by the childless Pearl and Nathan Berkowitz, with his birth mother Betty Broder not wanting to keep a child she'd had with a married man. He told Jack: 'My parents were very nice, fair, kind, loving people, everything positive.' But he admits to being 'very mean' to his devoted adoptive mother, saying: 'I used to rip up her clothes, tear a hole in her blouse or something.' Berkowitz also used to set fires in stairwells. Berkowitz comes over, bounds round the table and to my surprise he stuck his hand out and says 'hi, I'm David.' He's the last person you'd expect to be a serial killer Jack D Jones His dad Nathan thought that rather than telling Berkowitz that his mother had given him up, he would lie and say she had died in childbirth. That, though, made the youngster feel guilty about the death of his birth mum. Then his adoptive mother Pearl died from cancer when Berkowitz was aged just 14 - and in 1974 he tracked down his birth mother. He disapproved of Betty having him out of wedlock and thinking he "was an accident", adding: 'It's like a volcano erupting.' Twisted logic Berkowitz resented others seemingly following a similar path to his mother. Often his targets would be couples making out in parked cars late at night - and in his depraved mind, 'It felt like I was getting revenge." But there might be another reason. While serving in the US Army in South Korea, Berkowitz started experimenting with drugs, including the hallucinogenic LSD. Friends felt he changed after this, and he became more of a loner on leaving the forces in 1974. It has been suggested that the Robert De Niro movie Taxi Driver, about a vigilante New Yorker, released in February 1976, could have inspired him. But Berkowitz had already stabbed two women by this point and told Jack: 'The movies didn't cause it, but they did reassure me.' Cowardly killer 11 11 Berkowitz did, however, buy himself a .44 Bulldog gun because he found it hard to kill someone with a knife. The coward didn't like to make eye contact with his victims. Jack says: 'He told me he was seeking out women he could kill. He said he had to view his victims as what he wanted them to be. 'When his intended victims asked him if he needed any help or would smile, he couldn't do it.' There were occasions where he ended up helping people he had initially targeted. He told Jack: 'I was always upholding the image of a good upstanding citizen.' In his spare time Berkowitz, who worked various dead end jobs, had helped fire trucks get to blazes. Jack says: 'His whole life he'd been practising keeping this horrible side of himself inside. David Berkowitz was looking to be a hero.' But the psychotic side of his personality took over. Donna Lauria, 18, was his first victim to die, gunned down as she got out of a car in the Bronx in July 1976. Berkowitz said: 'I had so much anger, one killing wasn't going to quench it.' Late at night he would trawl the city planning his next murder, mainly choosing couples sat in cars. After 20-year-old secretary Stacy Moskowitz was shot in the head in July 1977 her funeral was shown on television. Her boyfriend Robert Violante survived the attack but was shot in the eye, leaving him permanently blinded. Jack recalls: 'He remembered the grieving process everybody was going through. He seemed to get gratification from it.' Stacy was to be his final victim. Snared by parking ticket A parking ticket led detectives to Berkowitz, who a neighbour described as 'that nut'. They became even more suspicious on learning Berkowitz had shot a dog belonging to Sam Carr for barking. With the police closing in, Berkowitz headed to the wealthy Hamptons on the coast near New York with the intention of massacring holiday makers with an automatic weapon. But the terrible weather stopped him. Berkowitz admits on tape: 'When it started to rain and there was no one around, I got in the car and went home.' After his arrest he claimed he committed murder because Sam the Demon 'made me do it'. Berkowitz was declared mentally fit to stand trial and pleaded guilty to all of the shootings, and was sentenced to 25 years to life. In his interview with Jack, though, he admitted to making up the voice in his head line because he had to 'convince myself that I'm not the one that's doing this'. He confessed: 'It was all just a sham, to be frank with you.' Even though Berkowitz will be forever known as the Son of Sam, he does not think there was anyone called Sam behind his bloody crimes. Jack thinks that this loner was desperate for attention, concluding: 'He achieved what he wanted. A lifetime of notoriety.' It could be argued that another documentary about Berkowitz will just give him what he wants. But with his next parole hearing due in May 2026, it should also convince everyone how truly dangerous this serial killer is. Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes is streaming on Netflix now. 11 11 11 11

Costco customers give verdict on door receipt checkers
By They're often treated like mall cops and met with eye-rolls — but Costco's door receipt checkers may be doing more than just slowing you down on the way out. Turns out, the employees many shoppers love to hate are actually saving people money. Costco members are sharing surprising stories of how receipt checkers have caught errors and saved them cash — sometimes more than $40 in a single visit. One viral Reddit post praised a worker who noticed a shopper had been charged for a three-pack of houseplants at $16.99 each, even though they only grabbed two. 'At the exit when my receipt was checked, the employee hesitated and said, 'You only got two plants but you paid for a 3-pack,' the shopper wrote. 'He called someone over, refunded the extra, and I got the third plant. THIS is why they check receipts.' Other Costco members quickly piled on with their own examples: 'They've caught accidental double scans before — saved me $45 last time,' one shopper said. Another wrote:'I missed an item and was about to walk out without paying — they sent me back and let me keep it free,' another wrote. Even when mistakes slip through, shoppers said customer service is quick to fix them. Some noted these errors are easy to miss in the moment — especially during big hauls where the final total already feels high. While some still grumble that receipt checks feel nosy or unnecessary, many Costco regulars are starting to see them differently: not just as security guards stopping theft, but as a final line of defense against checkout mistakes. Employees say that's part of the point. Receipt checks help prevent shrink, the industry term for lost inventory — whether from theft, mis-scans, or human error. And by reducing that loss, Costco keeps its famously low prices intact. Legal experts also say the practice is all above board — membership terms include consent to exit receipt checks. Not everyone is a fan. Shoppers have been known to debate the practice online, with some arguing Costco should simply add more checkout staff instead of relying on exit policing. Costco is often in the news. Shoppers threatened to boycott Costco earlier this year after the chain swapped Pepsi for Coca-Cola drinks . Other customers have complained about price hikes at food courts. Slow-moving shoppers traveling around in groups is another of Costco shoppers' biggest gripes. Costco shoppers also debating new food court items or complaining about limits on gold bars. Meanwhile, a little-known policy is also going vital. Costco shoppers have long loved the chain's famous free samples — but few knew the real rules.

Taiwan cabinet: Taiwan-US tariff talks complete, pending U.S. decision-making process
TAIPEI, July 31 (Reuters) - Taiwan and the U.S. have completed talks on tariff technicalities and have reached consensus on issues including non-tariff trade barriers, with the result pending the U.S. decision-making process, Taiwan's cabinet said on Thursday. Goods sent from Taiwan to the U.S. were targeted for tariffs of 32% by U.S. President Donald Trump when he announced his so-called "reciprocal" tariffs in April, but he later declared a 90-day pause on the plan. Taiwan has been in tariff talks with Washington since the announcement. "Investment and purchase issues have also been discussed," said a spokesperson, adding that both sides have discussed a joint statement. A trade delegation led by Vice Premier Cheng Li-chun had gone through four rounds of negotiations with U.S. officials, including U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, according to a statement issued by Taiwan's cabinet. Taiwan has been seeking to strengthen its trade ties with major partners, particularly the U.S., Taiwan's second-largest trading partner after China, amid growing geopolitical and economic challenges. The outcome of the discussions could play a key role in shaping the island's future trade strategy and its position in the global supply chain, and is crucial to Taiwan's export-driven economy.
