Southern Poverty Law Center interim CEO and President Bryan Fair will be brought before the House to answer for the group’s alleged actions. The House Judiciary Committee will be grilling Fair on Tuesday after the group was hit with an 11-count indictment regarding alleged financial crimes, including “defrauding its donors by concealing payments to members of extremist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, the Aryan Nation and other neo-Nazi groups,” Fox News reported. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, spoke to the outlet on Monday. “There are a lot of legitimate questions about what the SPLC was doing with donor money and how they were using it to basically fund the type of hate that they were pretending to be going after,” he said. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, believes that it is worth investigating the ties between the SLPC and the former Biden administrations’ Department of Justice. “For me, the biggest takeaway is the fact that the Biden White House and the Biden Justice Department helped make the Southern Poverty Law Center the standard,” the lawmaker said to Sean Hannity last week. Indeed, Republicans have long criticized the relationship between the SLPC, which targeted conservative groups and causes with a “hate map,” and the Biden administration which was supposed to represent all Americans, not just leftists. “The purpose of doing that was to basically stifle their ability to get the conservative message out,” Gill accused. But rather than tackling hate, SLPC is accused of funding it. As BizPac Review previously reported, the group is accused of paying “at least $3 million between 2014 and 2023 to eight individuals, including people linked to the Ku Klux Klan and U.S.-based Nazi groups.” From the article: “As the indictment describes, the SPLC was not dismantling these groups;

Republican senators are signaling their support for proposed punishments for sanctuary cities refusing to cooperate with federal authorities. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has proposed yanking Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents out of airports in cities that won’t help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with enforcing federal law. Senator Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, is among those who believe this is a good way to encourage compliance. “I think there should be consequences to cities and states that undercut federal law,” he said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “I think they should pay a price for what they do. I agree with what he’s doing.” “I think it’s a choice that those cities make and they’d have to weigh the consequences of it. If they want to be a sanctuary city, they’ve made that choice and they’re getting a response now from Homeland Security,” said Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Nebraska. “I have no idea what the cities would do,” she added when asked how cities might react to such rules being imposed. “I would hope that their law enforcement would cooperate with ICE. ICE is federal law enforcement. They’re doing their job. They’re following the law.” But not everyone is on board; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has stressed the need for open travel. Many other Republicans, such as Josh Hawley and Lisa Murkowski, are withholding support until they are able to get more details on the secretary’s proposal. Sanctuary Cities need to pay the price for protecting illegal alien criminals. I stand with DHS Secretary Mullin in fighting back against radical left Democrats who are trying to stop ICE and Border Patrol from doing their job and enforce federal law.

A case pending before the Supreme Court could address delayed ballot counts, restoring a measure of trust in the United States voting process. The recent mayoral race in Los Angeles is bringing the country’s focus back to how elections are conducted in different parts of the country, and many people have questions about delayed ballot counts that somehow coincidentally shift the balance of races days after votes are cast. Justices heard oral arguments in the Mississippi case of Watson v. Republican National Committee in March, and the ruling could put an end to counting ballots up to five days after the official election date. Mississippi is one of “at least 14 states, along with California, New York and Texas, as well as the District of Columbia, with laws that allow for late ballots so long as envelopes are postmarked by Election Day. Around 30 states have some sort of grace period for absentee ballots as well, letting military or US citizens abroad cast their votes,” according to The New York Times. Republicans argue that such late ballot counting is unconstitutional, and as Los Angeles residents still don’t know who their next mayor will be days after the election, that argument may carry some merit. RNC Chairman Joe Gruters spoke to The Post about what he calls the “failure” of LA’s voting system. “What’s happening in California is a Democrat failure on full display. Nearly a week after the primary, it is completely unacceptable ballots are still being counted. That’s why the RNC is aggressively fighting in the Supreme Court to stop ballots received after Election Day from being counted. Americans deserve timely election results they can trust,” he said. SCOTUS is expected to rule on the case ahead of its recess later this month. X users weighed in: If scotus does nothing,
