Eric Flores scamming Republicans, dangling $5000 checks, redirecting to a donation page to retire a campaign loan Flores made to himself
https://prospect.org/2026/09/17/repu...eceive-voters/The text from Eric Flores, the Republican nominee for Texas’s 34th Congressional District, is brief. It says, “Attachment: $5,000 Check … Pres. Trump just authorized it,” a reference to the financial windfall that Donald Trump promised for every adult in America if the GOP retains power in the midterms. It is followed by a link to access the “portal” to “submit approval ASAP.”But like many text-based scams, the link does not follow through as advertised. Instead, it goes to a donation website for Flores.
It’s unclear who is behind the website; in one section, it says that it is paid for by Eric Flores for Congress and another says it is paid for by WinRed, the Republican National Committee’s fundraising platform, and “Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.”
Either way, the donated money will not necessarily be used for electing Flores, who is in a toss-up seat in a district that was made more favorable to him by the Texas gerrymander. The money will primarily help retire his campaign debt. According to FEC records, Flores loaned himself more than half a million dollars to get through the primary in the race to defeat in bent Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez.

A 2022 Supreme Court ruling allowed federal candidates to fundraise unlimited amounts after the date of an election to pay back a personal loan; previously, candidates could only raise funds over $250,000 within 20 days of that election. The Texas primary was March 3, over six months ago, and no funds were listed as repaid by Flores’s campaign as of June 30. Candidates can even charge high interest rateson these personal loans and actually make money off the deal; whether Flores is charging interest is not yet listed with the Federal Election Commission.
Flores, a former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Texas, Army veteran, and multimillionaire whose campaign material claims he “is guided by his Christian faith and an unwavering commitment to his neighbors,” did not respond to a request for comment, including to explain how the text is not deceitful.
bigotry against South Asians is rampant
https://www.npr.org/2026/09/17/nx-s1...kh-south-asianA Punjabi Sikh truck driver in Wyoming said he was followed into a rest stop bathroom and stabbed repeatedly in an attack that has stoked fear across the greater South Asian community.
In an interview with NPR, the driver Singh said he was shaken by the violent encounter from earlier this week, which he described as unprovoked. Singh asked to only be identified by his last name due to fear for his safety.
" I don't know why this happened," he said from his hospital room. "I don't know why they attack[ed] me.
