Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Chargeback, then let them know it’s a duplicate.
The credit card company will get really pissed if it continues and will eventually remove the companies ability to use their services.
I had to do this with Verizon.
We’ve already seen how willing companies are to stand up to Trump, even if he is in the wrong.
I’m totally sure T-Mobile or the Credit Card company would be willing to defend this in court…
It is hard to describe how powerful VISA is.
I might have missed something, what does T-Mobile have to do with this?
I'm pretty sure TACOmobile is using Tmo's towers, sort of like how Mint Mobile does. There's a term for it that I'm drawing a blank on, hopefully someone else knows and replies
Edit: I still don't know why the commenter included T mobile, it's definitely a broad shot against an otherwise mostly uninvolved party. TACOmobile is the one doing the billing as far as I know.
Edit part deux: Or it's a superPAC or other donation collector taking the money right now maybe? Either way, not Tmo
I believe the term you are looking for is MVNO, Mobile Virtual Network Operator.
I mean, there are only two other companies with which to do that here so there’s a 1/3 chance it’s Tmo to begin with. But yeah, I’m still not sure what they would have to do with the credit card charges for Trump Mobile, as opposed to Mint, Tmo owns Mint.
That's exactly the term (phrase, I guess) I was searching for, thank you. I also missed the news when Tmo bought Mint, so double thanks there.
One of the comments above said they were the parent carrier offering MVNO services to Trump Mobile.
This company will be long gone by the time that happens.
