In terminal do:

ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*pusser*.list

and/or

grep -i pusser /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

on any found filenames, do:

more /etc/apt/sources.list.d/found_filename_here.list

Edit that output into your question, and then send a comment to @heynnema, and I'll take a look for you.

Update #1:

I asked that you put the output of the above commands as an edit of your original question, as trying to read that data in comments is difficult.

But right now you should be able to do the following...

sudo rm -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:stevenpusser.list
