Justice Department Unveils Expanded Indictment Against SPLC.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) faces updated allegations from the Department of Justice (DOJ), accusing it of misusing millions of dollars in tax-exempt funds to pay informants inside extremist groups.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), alleging that $4.1 million in tax-exempt funds were improperly used to pay supposed informants embedded in extremist organizations. These informants allegedly engaged in activities such as recruiting members and purchasing materials for cross burnings and Ku Klux Klan robes, raising significant legal and ethical questions.
📺 DETAIL: The indictment accuses the SPLC of defrauding donors and banks by funneling funds through shell accounts to insiders who were members of the same extremist groups the organization claimed to be fighting. While the SPLC pleaded not guilty to the original charges, this updated indictment addresses prior legal flaws, such as the inclusion of misleading but non-false statements, which the Supreme Court ruled cannot constitute bank fraud. The SPLC’s legal team has criticized the DOJ’s handling of the case, claiming the organization’s informant program saved lives and prevented violence. However, the DOJ argues it is effectively funding the extremism it claims to combat to create a need for its activism.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in April. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”
🎯 IMPACT: The case raises serious concerns about the SPLC’s financial practices and its transparency with donors about the true nature of its activities, undermining its credibility. The updated indictment could set a precedent for how nonprofits are held accountable for their financial dealings and operational ethics.
📺 FLASHBACK: The SPLC was originally charged in April with 11 counts of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Another Muslim Rape Gang Sentenced in England.

Fifteen men in Bradford, England, have been sentenced for the sexual abuse of a teenage girl over a four-year period.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A group of Muslim men in Bradford has been sentenced for the sexual abuse of a teenage girl, which took place between 2007 and 2011. The 15 men were convicted of 88 counts of rape, with sentences ranging from eight to 17 years each.
📰 DETAIL: The victim, who was between 14 and 18 years old during the abuse, was identified by police in 2015 after multiple missing person reports. A full investigation was launched in 2016, leading to the charges and subsequent trials. Reporting restrictions on the gang were lifted only after all trials and sentence hearings concluded on Wednesday, allowing the details to be made public. All of the predators are ethnically South Asian men, with their names given as Hannan Miah, Asif Budhia, Abdul Basith, Burhan Uddin Ali, Muhammad Yasir, Mohammed Nadeem Ali, Jameel Ahmed, Amjad Hussain, Ashfaq Ahmed, Aftab Ahmed, Anwar Aziz, Yousaf Bhatti, Faisal Rashid, Omar Taj, and Shahinul Haq.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The men involved have taken more away from me than what I can ever describe in words,” said the victim, adding, “My childhood has been taken away from me, the impact from what I suffered during my teens will always live with me, and I will carry that every day and learn to navigate my way through life with that.”
🎯 IMPACT: While much of the media is painting the sentences as significant, describing the gang as having been sentenced to “188 years in prison,” no one member of the gang will serve anything like that long in custody. Robert Jenrick, Member of Parliament (MP) for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, noted that “Jameel Ahmed committed 4 rapes, yet could leave prison in a little over 5 years.” He added: “Sentences for rape gang perpetrators are routinely pathetically short. Britain is broken.”

Record-High UK Illicit Cigarette Market Exposes Failed Tax-and-Ban Strategy.

A new report reveals that nearly half of all cigarettes consumed in the United Kingdom are now sourced from the illicit market, fueling organized crime and leading to significant tax revenue losses.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A KPMG report commissioned by Philip Morris International reveals that 45 percent of cigarettes consumed in the United Kingdom in 2025 were non-duty-paid, with 32.3 percent being counterfeit or contraband.
🎯 IMPACT: The illicit cigarette market cost Britain’s Treasury an estimated £4.46 billion (~$6bn) in lost tax revenue. The country has the highest taxes on tobacco products in Europe, and the second-largest illicit market, behind only France—where such taxes have risen rapidly in recent years. “[C]ountries that promote excessive tax increases, or, even worse, product bans, such as France and the Netherlands, see illicit trends worsening, public tax collection suffers, consumers gain access to uncontrolled products, and crime thrives,” observed Massimo Andolina, Philip Morris International’s president for the Europe Region.
📰 DETAIL: The report highlights the use of “front” shops, including vape stores, and the rise of illicit cigarette manufacturing within the United Kingdom as key drivers of the illegal market. Organized crime gangs are exploiting such businesses, which are often poorly regulated, to sell the illicit products. The National Pulse has previously reported on how they have also become hubs for drug dealing and grooming, both in the United Kingdom and the United States.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This should be a major wake-up call for the government; poorly resourced enforcement is depriving the UK of almost £4.5 billion a year,” said Peter Nixon, managing director of Philip Morris Limited.

Trump Confirms He Branded Netanyahu ‘F**king Crazy’ in Heated Call.

President Donald J. Trump has confirmed reports that he had strong words for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a recent phone call, over the Israeli leader’s intense attacks on Lebanon.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: In an interview with the Pod Force One podcast, President Donald J. Trump confirmed reports that he rowed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his attacks on Lebanon, which helped collapse peace talks with Iran. Asked if it was correct that he had told Netanyahu, “Are you f**king crazy,” “What are you f**king doing,” “I helped you stay out of jail,” the President confirmed, “I did.”
📺 DETAIL: Trump said of his remarks to Netanyahu, “I wouldn’t say [I was] angry, I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon, you know? At some point, I said, ‘Bibi, we’ve got to stop this. You’ve got to stop it.'” Axios had reported that Trump told the Israeli leader, “You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Bibi, we’ve got to stop this. You’ve got to stop it.” – Donald Trump
🎯 IMPACT: The U.S. and Israeli governments have often seemed to have differing goals since the commencement of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, which Israel extended to Iran’s Hezbollah proxies in Lebanon. An ongoing, shaky ceasefire with Iran was almost collapsed by Israel early on due to Israeli forces continuing operations in Lebanon, which Tehran thought was included in the ceasefire. While President Trump seems set on finalizing a deal with Iran to dismantle its nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Israel seems to have more expansive goals, including effectively annexing a portion of southern Lebanon.

Scientists Propose Using Genetically Modified Ticks to Make People Allergic to Meat.

An academic paper arguing it is morally justifiable to use genetically modified ticks to spread a potentially life-threatening meat allergy has sparked widespread backlash.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Scientists proposed genetically engineering ticks to induce allergies to red meat in the population in an unearthed study.
📺 DETAIL: In a paper published by Western Michigan University last year, researchers Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth argued that genetically engineering ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) to cause allergies to red meat, in order to create a meat-free society, would be morally justified. The researchers argued that meat consumption is immoral, citing animal suffering and environmental harm. The paper has since been described as just a “thought experiment.” The authors of the paper have clarified that no experiments have been conducted, although they note that it may be possible to cultivate population-wide allergies to red meat in the future. Critics have called the proposal dangerous and arbitrary, criticizing the researchers’ argument that infecting people with a potentially life-threatening disease from tick bites would not violate their rights. AGS is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergy triggered by the consumption of red meat, such as pork, lamb, and beef, and products coming from mammals. AGS symptoms range from mild to severe, spanning mild hives, stomach pain, and anaphylaxis, a condition in which a person’s blood pressure drops rapidly, making it impossible for them to breathe. Between 2017 and 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported roughly 90,000 suspected cases of AGS, with an estimated 15,000 new cases every year. Approximately half a million Americans are suspected of suffering from AGS. There is currently no cure for AGS, and it requires lifelong avoidance of red meat products and several types of medication.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It is feasible to genetically edit the disease-carrying capacity of ticks. If we are right, then today we have the obligation to research and develop the capacity to proliferate tickborne AGS and, tomorrow, carry out that proliferation,” the paper argues.
📺 FLASHBACK: This story follows a report from late May showing that emergency room (ER) visits caused by tick bites had skyrocketed from 39 per 100,000 to 137 per 100,000. The data covers ER visits between March and April in ten Midwest states. In response to the findings, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a new effort to treat tick-borne diseases, including AGS.

Supreme Court Upholds Alabama’s New Congressional Map in Key Ruling.

The Supreme Court’s decision to permit Alabama’s redistricted map in the November midterms could be a huge blow to the Democrats.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Supreme Court granted Alabama’s request to use its redistricted 2023 congressional map for the 2026 midterm elections, which eliminates a racially gerrymandered, Democrat-voting district. This halts a lower court’s injunction that had blocked the map, alleging it violated the Voting Rights Act by diluting black voting power.
📺 DETAIL: The ruling follows the Court’s April 2026 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which found that elements of the Voting Rights Act requiring states to create “majority minority” electoral districts—which typically vote Democrat—are unconstitutional. Democrat leaders and liberal justices attacked the decision, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor arguing that not creating districts with bizarre geography in order to artificially ensure black majorities amounts to discrimination. Notably, Alabama’s map still retains one majority-black district.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Before the Court are two paths. Down one lies an orderly election… Down the other lies a chaotic election, held under a never-before-used congressional map that intentionally discriminates against Black Alabamians.” – Justice Sonia Sotomayor
🎯 IMPACT: The decision underscores the Supreme Court’s seeming intention to broadly restrict racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act. Republican-led state legislatures in several Southern states have been moving to redraw their electoral maps in light of Louisiana v. Callais, potentially costing Democrats a decisive number of House seats in the November midterms.

DEI-Driven ‘Two-Tier’ Policing Guidance Under Review After Henry Nowak’s Murder.

The murder and wrongful arrest of white teenager Henry Nowak have sparked demands to abolish institutionalized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ideology in British policing, amid growing concerns that it has created a “two-tier” justice system.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Police forces across the United Kingdom have come under increased pressure to scrap Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies following the murder and wrongful arrest of white teenager Henry Nowak.
📰 DETAIL: On Tuesday, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage called for the arrest of 18-year-old Henry Nowak while he was dying from multiple stab wounds a “watershed moment” that should lead to the overturning of the “anti-white” and “two-tier” culture in British policing. Farage emphasized the priorities of the police, who ignored Nowal’s pleas for medical aid because murderer Vickrum Digwa falsely claimed he had been racist, noting that the accusation of racism was treated as more urgent than an accusation of attempted murder. In an article for The Telegraph, Farage wrote that DEI had created a “two-tier culture where some groups receive greater protection than others.” In the House of Commons on Wednesday, he also highlighted the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s Police Anti-Racism Commitment, which states explicitly that ethnic groups should be treated differently, not equally, in order to achieve “racial equity.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We must end the anti-white prejudice that has been allowed to fester. We must assert, without apology, that White lives matter too. DEI initiatives and positive discrimination must be scrapped. No ifs, no buts. – Nigel Farage
🎯 IMPACT: In response to growing public pressure, the National Police Chiefs’ Council is reviewing its anti-racism guidelines. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, urged to end two-tier policing by Farage in the House of Commons on Wednesday, denied that it exists, but his spokesman later said of the clearly two-tier nature of the Police Anti-Racism Commitment, “We don’t think that language is right.”

BBC Falsely Claims Farage Called for ‘White Cold Rage’ Over Henry Nowak’s Murder.

A BBC presenter has issued an apology to Nigel Farage after falsely claiming that the Reform UK leader called for “white cold rage” in response to white teenager Henry Nowak’s murder and wrongful arrest.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A BBC presenter has apologized for misquoting Reform UK leader Nigel Farage’s response to Henry Nowak’s murder by Vickrum Digwa and wrongful arrest by the police.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I owe Nigel Farage an apology. During last night’s Newsnight we covered the murder of Henry Nowak and the political reaction to the case, including discussing Nigel Farage’s comments about ‘pure, cold rage’. However I referred to ‘white cold rage’. This was a mistake on my part… I apologise to Nigel Farage for this.” – Matt Chorley, presenter on BBC’s Newsnight
🎯 IMPACT: The misquoting of Farage, which appeared to imply a white nationalist motive for Farage’s call to action against “anti-white prejudice” after police roughly arrested Henry Nowak as he was dying instead of helping him, because his murderer alleged he had been racist, has led to calls for an investigation into the publicly-funded broadcaster. Reform’s Shadow Home Secretary, Zia Yusuf, accused Chorley of trying to “defame Nigel and lie to the country.” Farage said his legal team has “written to the BBC demanding a full on air apology and investigation into the defamatory comments made about me on Newsnight.”
📰 DETAIL: On Tuesday, in response to Nowak’s murder and wrongful arrest, Farage issued an emergency broadcast, saying that the British people should feel “pure, cold rage” over the actions of the police and the family of Vickrum Digwa. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer accused Farage of “exploiting” the murder and denied his claims of “two-tier policing” in Britain, despite a Police Anti-Racism Commitment clearly stating that ethnic groups should be treated differently to achieve “equality of policing outcomes.”

Keir Starmer Calls Henry Nowak Protesters ‘Unserious,’ Threatens Police Crackdown.

Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage clash over policing and protests in the House of Commons following the murder of white teenager Henry Nowak by a Sikh man.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer addressed the House of Commons on Wednesday on the murder of white teenager Henry Nowak by Vickrum Digwa, attacking protesters who demonstrated outside Southampton Central Police Station and near the Digwa family residence on Tuesday and warning that anyone involved in disorder will face the “full force” of the British state. He adopted a similarly draconian approach in response to protesters against the Southport murders, with people arrested and imprisoned for as little as posting on social media.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This is a time for serious work, not rage. And let me be clear, we will ensure anyone found engaging in disorder meets the full force of the law, as we have done before.” – Keir Starmer
📰 DETAIL: Starmer implied that those protesting the murder of Nowak, who was handcuffed by police officers as he was dying instead of being helped because his murderer falsely alleged he was racist, are unserious. His comments that it is not a time for “rage” came in response to Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage, who said the incident highlighted cultural and institutional issues of “anti-white prejudice” and should be met with “pure, cold rage.”
🎯 IMPACT: Starmer also denied Farage’s accusations of “two-tier policing” in Britain, but was forced to acknowledge the existence of a Police Anti-Racism Commitment that explicitly states that different ethnicities should be treated differently to produce “equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups,” arguing that “racial equity” does not mean “treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’ (racial equality).”

A New Date for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Disrupted by Trump Assassination Attempt, Has Been Set.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner will return with enhanced security measures after being disrupted earlier this year by an assassination attempt against President Donald J. Trump.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) has announced that its annual dinner will take place next month after being postponed following a failed assassination attempt against President Donald J. Trump.
📺 DETAIL: The upcoming event has been scheduled for July 24 in Washington, D.C. No venue has been confirmed at this time. The President has confirmed that he will attend. “In a sign of strength and fortitude, it was just announced that The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly on April 25th, will be rescheduled to July 24th. This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling. I was asked to be there, and speak, by Weijia Jiang, President of The White House Correspondents’ Association, and have accepted,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The dinner is also set to be attended by various journalists, officials, and political figures. The event will include tighter security measures following the failed assassination attempt against Trump during the original event earlier in the year.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It will be a statement that violence has no place in American life and a free press will not be intimidated into silence… We will not allow an act of violence to have the last word… This dinner will not only be an opportunity to carry out our program. It will be a statement that violence has no place in American life and a free press will not be intimidated into silence.” – WHCA President Weijia Jiang
📺 FLASHBACK: The original WHCA dinner was postponed after 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen allegedly attempted to assassinate President Trump and other senior officials at the event. This was the third attempt on the President’s life. Allen faces multiple charges, including the attempted assassination of the President of the United States, punishable by up to life imprisonment, as well as interstate transportation of a firearm to commit a felony and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.

KASSAM: Henry Nowak’s Death Was Necessarily Political.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, hit back at attempts by the British political establishment to depoliticize the murder and wrongful arrest of 18-year-old white student Henry Nowak.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, laid out the political significance of the murder and wrongful arrest of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white student in Southampton, England, as protesters descended on the city.
📺 DETAIL: In a video interview with Human Events’ Jack Posobiec on Real America’s Voice (link here), Kassam stressed that Nowak’s killing is “the biggest story in the UK right now, full stop,” with a large protest near the family home of his Sikh murderer, Vickrum Digwa, ongoing as of the time of publication. “It’s not just the fact that there was this heinous, brutal, disgusting stabbing that took place, it’s every little detail seems to make it worse—and we’re not even at the end of this whole thing yet,” Kassam said. Notably, the Digwa family called the police rather than an ambulance for Nowak, claiming falsely that he had been racist and denying that he had been stabbed. Officers told Nowak, pleading for an ambulance and saying he could not breathe, that they did not believe he had been stabbed, manhandling him into a pair of handcuffs and reading him his rights. He passed out and died moments later. Kassam emphasized, “Henry Nowak is by no means the first person this has happened to,” noting how differently Nowak’s case has been treated from that of George Floyd, for whom Keir Starmer, now Prime Minister, took the knee in 2020.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “They now and try and tell us Henry Nowak’s death is not political, and it shouldn’t be made political. Henry Nowak’s death was necessarily political. The cultural proposition that is being made in the United Kingdom right now is necessarily political. The way in which the police responded to him, because of the false racism charge leveled at him. The DEI cops were being necessarily political in the way that they dealt with this… This is a political event, it is a political death, and it will be dealt with in the hard arena of politics.” – Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse.

🎯 IMPACT: “A lot of people in [America] ask me, ‘When will the British lion start to roar again?’ Today,” Kassam predicted, highlighting the protest in Southampton at the city’s central police station, which later moved towards the Digwa family residence, and a Tuesday morning  emergency address by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who said the public should react to the scandal with “cold rage.”
