SPLC Pleads Not Guilty to Fradulently Funding Extremism.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has officially pleaded not guilty after an 11-count indictment by the Department of Justice.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Southern Poverty Law Center has pleaded not guilty to alleged fraud and money laundering following an indictment by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
📺 DETAIL: In late April, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was indicted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on 11 counts spanning alleged fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors claim the organization misled donors by funneling over $3 million to the leadership and organizers of extremist groups between 2014 and 2023, including the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, and the Unite the Right Rally in 2017. The SPLC claims the funds were used to pay informants within the extremist groups, a method the organization claims that it no longer uses. Prosecutors also allege that the SPLC misrepresented ownership of entities to banks. On Thursday, the SPLC officially pleaded not guilty to all 11 counts in the DOJ indictment filed last month.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.” – Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
🎯 IMPACT: Following the indictment, the U.S. Treasury Department announced changes to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reporting requirements for nonprofits. Specifically, the Treasury announced reforms to the anonymity provisions in IRS Form 990. IRS Form 990 is an annual return that provides a public overview of a nonprofit’s activities. However, the form allows nonprofits to obscure donor identities and payment recipients, potentially acting as a loophole for misuse, such as money laundering. The SPLC has faced an increasing amount of criticism, not only for its methods, but for its misrepresentation of conservative figures and organizations as extremist and hateful. In late 2025, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) severed ties with the SPLC, citing ideological bias and the unreliability of its research. “The SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work & turned into a partisan smear machine,” said FBI Director Kash Patel at the time.

Illegal Sentenced to Life for Deadly Firebombing of Pro-Israel Protest.

An illegal immigrant has been sentenced to life in prison after firebombing a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: An illegal migrant has been given a life sentence after killing one and injuring a dozen others in a firebomb attack in Boulder, Colorado.
📺 DETAIL: Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national living illegally in the United States, has been sentenced to life in prison after firebombing a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado. In June 2025, Soliman threw two Molotov cocktails at a group of pro-Israel activists demonstrating at a mall. Soliman shouted “Free Palestine” during the attack. Karen Diamond, an 82-year-old woman injured in the firebomb attack, died three weeks later. Twelve others were also injured. Prosecutors revealed that Soliman was motivated by a desire to “kill all Zionist people” and had been planning the attack for roughly a year. The investigation also revealed that while Soliman only threw two Molotov cocktails, he had 16 more unused Molotovs. His attorneys claimed that the attack was “profoundly inconsistent” with his prior behavior. On Thursday, Soliman pleaded guilty to first-degree murder.
🎯 IMPACT: While Soliman pleaded guilty to the charge of first-degree murder, he has pleaded not guilty to federal hate crime charges. Prosecutors will potentially seek the death penalty for the federal charges. The firebombing attack has highlighted the relationship between illegal immigration and terrorist violence. When the attack was reported, it captured the attention of President Donald J. Trump, who said at the time: “Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America.” He had moved to the U.S. from Kuwait with his wife and five children back in 2022. The Soliman family was living in Colorado Springs at the time of the attack. An immigration appeals court previously dismissed the family’s case to stay in the country, although a U.S. district judge granted them release under electronic monitoring.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “In those weeks, we learned the full meaning of the expressions ‘living hell’ and ‘fate worse than death.'” – Statement by Karen Diamond’s sons.

Walz Moves to Shield Violent Criminal from Deportation.

The Minnesota Board of Pardons’ decision to grant clemency to an illegal immigrant with multiple assault convictions has drawn sharp criticism from federal officials, who argue it undermines deportation efforts.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Minnesota Board of Pardons, including Governor Tim Walz (D) and Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), unanimously voted to pardon Xayasounethone Chandee, an illegal immigrant from Laos with multiple assault convictions, to prevent his imminent deportation. Chandee had been convicted of assault in 1992 and two felony counts of aggravated assault with a weapon in 2008, leading to the loss of his immigration status.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The pardon was granted during an emergency meeting on Monday, ahead of a deportation effort scheduled for this week.
📺 DETAIL: Minnesota officials reportedly convened an emergency pardon meeting after learning federal authorities planned to deport Chandee this week. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) condemned the decision, with Acting Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Lauren Bis calling it “absolute insanity.” Chandee’s attorney have disputed the existence of a 2008 conviction. Federal authorities may challenge the pardon in court. A federal appeals court has temporarily paused Chandee’s deportation for 14 days while the legal battle continues.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Minnesota’s sanctuary politicians’ pardon took away this violent thug’s qualifying convictions that made him removable from the U.S.,” said Acting Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Lauren Bis.
🎯 IMPACT: The pardon removes the legal grounds for Chandee’s deportation and has prompted federal authorities to consider challenging the decision.
📺 FLASHBACK: In 1995, an immigration judge ordered Chandee’s deportation following his 1992 assault conviction. His 2008 felony convictions further solidified his status as deportable under federal law.

Israel Charges Jewish Man for Violent Assault on Nun.

Israeli authorities have indicted a Jewish man for an unprovoked, violent assault on a num in Jerusalem, amid a spate of anti-Christian incidents that have damaged the country’s international reputation. 

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A Jewish man has been indicted for assaulting a Catholic nun in Jerusalem. The attack was reportedly motivated by religious hostility.
📺 DETAIL: On Thursday, Yona Schreiber, a 36-year-old Jewish man from the Israeli settlement of Peduel in the West Bank, was indicted for assaulting a Catholic nun near Jerusalem’s Old City last week. The attack was allegedly motivated by religious hatred. The nun was a researcher at the French School of Biblical and Archaeological Research, an academic institution in Jerusalem founded by the Dominican Order. Security footage, which went viral after being posted on social media, shows that the assault occurred in broad daylight. Schreiber is facing two charges: simple assault and assault motivated by religious hostility. 
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Many times in such cases there are no arrests and if there are arrests, sometimes after one or two days, [suspects] are released.” – Wadie Abunassar, Coordinator of the Holy Land Christian Forum.
🎯 IMPACT: Religious groups have warned about increasing violence and harassment against Christians in Jerusalem, including but not limited to physical assault, vandalism of Christian sites and symbols, and spitting. Meanwhile, in late April, two Israeli soldiers were sentenced to 30 days of military detention after smashing a statue of Jesus Christ with a sledgehammer in Debel, a Christian village in southern Lebanon. Also in Debel, an Israeli soldier was photographed desecrating a Blessed Virgin Mary statue. The soldier is said to be facing disciplinary measures, following online backlash.

Homan Suggests Cabinet Members Are Having ‘Discussions’ With Trump About Amnesty.

Border Czar Tom Homan has suggested that some Cabinet members are having “discussions” with President Donald J. Trump about granting “legal status” to some illegal immigrants, sparking concern among his base.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump is having “discussions” with Cabinet members about offering some form of amnesty or legal status to some illegal immigrants currently in the United States, according to Border Czar Tom Homan.
📺 DETAIL: Pressed by a Colombia-born reporter on whether he would support a “compromise” that involves giving “legal status” to “millions” of illegal immigrants, such as so-called Dreamers, on Wednesday, Homan declined to endorse any specific proposal, saying he would not “get ahead of the President.” However, he confirmed that “discussions” are taking place between Trump and “various members of his Cabinet” on the subject.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I’m not going to get ahead of President. You know, the President’s talking to various members of his cabinet, there’s discussions going on, I’m involved with some and not others, but I’m not going to get ahead of the President on this.” – Tom Homan
🎯 IMPACT: Homan’s comments come as business groups and some lawmakers are pushing for measures that would expand the labor pool, with Representative Maria Salazar (R-FL) pushing a “Dignidad” (Dignity) granting amnesty to millions of migrants. Trump’s base, who want mass deportations and stricter immigration enforcement, have been extremely critical of Salazar’s bill. Homan and other administration officials have recently pledged to continue deportation efforts while shifting toward what they describe as “smarter enforcement” strategies, following unrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during a major operation late last year.

Tennessee House Approves Redistricted Map Likely to Hand GOP Entire Congressional Delegation.

The Tennessee House has passed a redistricting proposal likely to reshape the political landscape by eliminating a racially gerrymandered Democrat district.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Tennessee House has passed a redistricting proposal that would divide Memphis, a Democrat-controlled, racially gerrymandered district, into three separate congressional districts. The final vote was 64 to 24, with two Republican lawmakers from Memphis joining Democrats in opposition.
📺 DETAIL: The proposed map would likely eliminate the only Democrat-held congressional seat in Tennessee by splitting Memphis, which was racially gerrymandered in order to create a Democrat-leaning black majority district, across three separate districts. This move follows a Supreme Court ruling that race should not be a factor in determining congressional lines, leading many Southern states to move to abolish racially gerrymandered districts they were forced to create by the Voting Rights Act. Similar redistricting efforts are underway in other states, including Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida, and, if successful, should secure more congressional seats for the GOP in the November midterms.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We owe it to Tennesseans to ensure our congressional districts accurately reflect the will of Tennessee voters,” said Tennessee Governor Bill Lee (R) in a statement, emphasizing the need for fairness and legality in the redistricting process.
🎯 IMPACT: If the redistricting plan is approved by the state Senate—where thge GOP commands a supermajority—and signed by Governor Lee, it could significantly alter Tennessee’s congressional representation, reducing Democrat influence in the state. The broader redistricting battles across the country could determine who controls the U.S. House of Representatives after November.

IDF Promises Investigation After Israeli Soldier Desecrates Virgin Mary Statue.

An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier faces disciplinary action after a photo showed him placing a cigarette in the mouth of a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, marking the second time an Israeli soldier has desecrated a Catholic symbol in a Christian Lebanese village in recent weeks.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier was photographed desecrating a Blessed Virgin Mary statue in the Christian village of Debel, southern Lebanon. The image, shared online, has prompted the IDF to announce disciplinary measures against the soldier.
📰 DETAIL: The incident occurred weeks ago but was only recently shared online. It follows other acts of vandalism by IDF soldiers in the same village, including the destruction of a statue of Jesus Christ crucified and damage to solar panels. The IDF said the conduct “completely deviates” from military values and promised disciplinary action, while spokesman Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani said the Israeli military respects all religions and holy sites. Father Fadi Felfeli, head of Debel’s congregation, condemned the act as unethical and extremist, saying it deeply angered residents who value peace and neutrality in the conflict. The Roman Catholic Church’s representative in the Holy Land also denounced the incident and urged Israel to ensure such behavior is not repeated.
🎯 IMPACT: The incident is one of several that have strained Israel’s relations with the Christian community since the October 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas in 2023. The new controversy comes as Israeli troops remain in parts of southern Lebanon despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah that began on April 16 but has failed to halt all fighting. Lebanese officials say more than 120 people, including civilians, have been killed in Israeli strikes over the past week, while Hezbollah continues rocket, drone, and mortar attacks on Israeli forces and northern Israel. Lebanese authorities say at least 2,715 people have been killed since the war began on March 2, while Israel says 17 soldiers and three Israeli civilians have died.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Honestly, this issue really provoked us, especially after the apology regarding the cross. It also shows that there are individuals within the [Israeli] army that lack ethics and values and are bigoted. This reflects a great deal of fanaticism.” – Father Fadi Felfeli.

Iran Weighs 14-Point Peace Deal, Including Nuclear Curbs.

Tehran is weighing a U.S. proposal to end the Iran war, with reports suggesting that an initial agreement is within reach.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Iran is expected to respond to the United States’ proposal aimed at ending the Iran War “sooner rather than later,” according to recent reports.
📰 DETAIL: On Wednesday, it was confirmed by Iranian officials that the country was reviewing a proposal put forward by the United States to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal reportedly includes a ban on Iran’s enrichment of uranium for ten years, a reduction from an initially proposed 20 years. As of midday on Thursday, the Islamic Republic has not yet issued an official response to the 14-point plan. However, if Iran agrees to the terms set by the United States, the plan could trigger a 30-day negotiation period. Reports of a potential deal come as tensions between Iran and the U.S. remain high, despite an indefinitely extended ceasefire, which has been in effect since late April. President Donald J. Trump has signaled his optimism, describing recent talks as “very good” and suggesting that a deal was within reach. Negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are being mediated by Pakistan, which will convey Iran’s response to the proposal. According to Pakistani officials on Thursday, a deal between the U.S. and Iran is expected “sooner rather than later.“
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We hope the parties will reach a peaceful and sustainable solution that will contribute not only to peace in our region but to international peace as well.” – Tahir Andrabi, spokesman for Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry.
🎯 IMPACT: The outcome of the negotiations could mark a major step towards ending the Iran war and stabilizing global oil prices. On Wednesday, the price of Brent crude oil, a short-term price benchmark, fell significantly, after President Trump said that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen. However, the President also warned that failure to reach a deal could lead to further military action. “Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran,” he announced in a Truth Social posted on Wednesday.

Foreign-Born Border Official Guilty of Spying for China.

A British Border Force official originally from Hong Kong has been found guilty of using his position to spy on Chinese dissidents for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Chi Leung “Peter” Wai, a British Border Force official, was convicted of spying for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), utilizing his access to immigration databases to track Hong Kong dissidents in Britain. The conviction is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom.
🎯 IMPACT: The conviction highlights vulnerabilities within British national security and raises concerns about foreign influence and espionage activities, as well as the risks and conflicts of interests involved in recruiting immigrants to work as immigration officials.
📰 DETAIL: Wai, alongside Chung Biu “Bill” Yuen, was found guilty of assisting a foreign intelligence service, with Wai also convicted of misconduct in public office. The jury could not reach a verdict on charges of foreign interference, and the prosecution will not seek a retrial. Wai’s activities included gathering intelligence on Hong Kong dissidents and pro-democracy protesters, with a focus on British politicians. The case was exposed in May 2024 when police thwarted an alleged attempt to abduct a former Hong Kong resident in West Yorkshire, England, leading to the arrest of 11 individuals involved in the operation.
👀 FLASHBACK:  Notably, it was reported in 2023 that the British government was itself “doxxing” Chinese dissidents based in the United Kingdom, providing the CCP with their addresses and bank details in accordance with an international tax treaty. Chinese espionage is also a growing threat in the United States, with Chinese nationals in the U.S. becoming involved in industrial and scientific espionage, with one notable case seeing a Chinese researcher charged with smuggling a toxic fungus that could have been used for “agroterroism” into the country.

Judge Rejects Bid by Fulton County to Get Back 2020 Ballots Seized by DOJ.

A federal judge has ruled against a request by Fulton County officials to recover 2020 ballots seized by the Department of Justice, citing insufficient legal grounds.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge has rejected Fulton County’s legal bid to have ballots and other election materials seized by the Department of Justice (DOJ) returned.
📺 DETAIL: Initially, ballots and election materials were seized from Fulton County, Georgia, by the Department of Justice (DOJ) as part of an investigation into the 2020 presidential election. In response, Fulton County officials claimed that the affidavit used to obtain the search warrants was flawed. Specifically, Fulton County officials alleged the affidavit was incomplete and misleading. However, on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee ruled that, while the affidavit was imperfect, the flaws were not severe enough to invalidate the warrants, and refused to order the DOJ to return ballots and other election materials seized from Fulton County.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “While the Affidavit was certainly far from perfect, this is not a situation where an officer left out all the facts that might undermine probable cause or where an officer intentionally lied.” — U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee.
🎯 IMPACT: The ruling allows federal authorities to retain the seized materials, potentially setting a precedent for future ballot seizures. This decision constitutes an undeniable setback for Fulton County officials and others trying to obstruct the investigation into voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. Despite the judge’s decision, Fulton County has vowed to continue its lawfare campaign against the Trump administration. According to the affidavit, which was unsealed back in February, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was authorized to seize “all physical ballots from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County… All tabulator tapes for every voting machine used in Fulton County… All ballot images produced during the original ballot count beginning on November 3, 2020… All voter rolls from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County from absentee, early voting, in person, and any other voter roll that indicates voters…”

Judge Unseals Jeffrey Epstein Note Claiming Investigators ‘Found Nothing.’

A judge has released a document purported to be a suicide note by pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, claiming investigators had “found nothing.”

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A judge has ordered the release of a document purported to be a suicide note written by pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, a month before his death in 2019. The note, which was unsealed on May 6, mentions a months-long investigation that “found nothing” and states that it is “a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye.”
📰 DETAIL:  The seven-line note was allegedly discovered by Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, tucked inside a book after a reported unsuccessful suicide attempt in July 2019. Tartaglione, a former police officer later convicted of four murders, had previously discussed the note publicly and denied accusations from Epstein that he assaulted him in jail. Federal prosecutors and The New York Times both sought the document’s release, arguing there was no longer a justification for keeping it sealed. In his ruling on Wednesday, Judge Kenneth M. Karas said public access to the note would promote accountability and confidence in the justice system, adding that Tartaglione’s public comments waived attorney-client privilege protections tied to the document. Epstein’s death was officially ruled a suicide, but ongoing scrutiny over security failures at the prison has fueled years of speculation surrounding the circumstances of his death. Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, has claimed that the death was murder, and that a peer-reviewed pathologist’s report will prove this.
🎯 IMPACT: The release of the note has reignited speculation about Epstein’s death. The veracity of the note remains ambiguous, however, with some claiming that physical evidence shows Epstein was actually murdered.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “It is a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say goodbye. Watcha want me to do – Bust out cryin!! NO FUN – NOT WORTH IT.” – Alleged Epstein suicide note.
