Southern Poverty Law Center says it's under DOJ investigation
Southern Poverty Law Center's interim CEO Bryan Fair claimed in a Tuesday video that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating the organization and possibly preparing criminal charges.
"Although we don't know all the details," Fair said in a video posted to the organization's YouTube account, "the focus appears to be on the SPLC's prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups."
The SPLC is a nonprofit group that has come under fire in recent years for alleged political bias. In October, FBI Director Kash Patel eliminated all ties to the organization after they labeled Turning Point USA a hate group.
"The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine," Patel said in a Oct. 3 post on X.
"Their so-called 'hate map' has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence," he said at the time. "That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership."
Fair pointed to that announcement as proof that the SPLC was being targeted by the Trump administration. He also cited a December hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government titled "Partisan and profitable: the SPLC's influence on federal civil rights policy."
Before Patel cut ties, SPLC had collaborated with the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies on their informant program, which Fair claimed was at the heart of the alleged investigation.
"We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI. We did not, however, share our use of informants broadly with anyone, in order to protect the identity and safety of the informants and their families," he said.
Fair also said the SPLC no longer works with paid informants.
In May 2025, the group published an analysis of Turning Point USA as a hate group, calling it a "well-funded, hard-right organization with links to Southern Poverty Law Center-identified hard-right extremists," and adding that its "primary strategy is sowing and exploiting fear that white Christian supremacy is under attack by nefarious actors, including immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and civil rights activists."
On Sept. 9, one day before Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, SPLC published a newsletter that Charlie Kirk Show producer Andrew Kolvet described as an attack.
Kolvet questioned whether or not the newsletter contributed to Kirk's death.
"Did these contribute to the assassin's motive?" Kolvet wrote in an October post on X.
"We may never know, but the swirl of extremist propaganda certainly played a role. The SPLC has been credibly accused of corruption, mishandling of donations, union-busting, and covering up of sexual assault by senior leadership, all while sitting on nearly $1 billion in reserves and being based in red Alabama. These are legitimate predicates for investigation. Those should happen immediately," Kolvet concluded.
Fox News Digital contacted SPLC and the DOJ for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
Ramaswamy pumps $25M of own cash into Ohio governor bid, smashes fundraising records
FIRST ON FOX: Vivek Ramaswamy is putting his money where his mouth is as the Republican candidate for Ohio governor is fulfilling a campaign pledge he first made last summer.
Ramaswamy, a multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur and business leader, invested $25 million of his own money into his gubernatorial campaign so far this year. He first grabbed national attention in the 2024 election cycle by running for the GOP presidential nomination before dropping out and becoming a top surrogate for President Donald Trump.
The investment was included in Ramaswamy's latest fundraising report, which indicates he has hauled in a record $50 million since launching his campaign last year. That includes $30 million this year: $5 million from donors and Ramaswamy's $25 million investment.
The fundraising report, which was shared first with Fox News Digital on Tuesday, also highlights that Ramaswamy had $30 million in his campaign coffers at the end of last month. Separately, the Ramaswamy-aligned American Exceptionalism PAC reported $29.5 million in fundraising so far this cycle.
RAMASWAMY REVEALS RUNNING MATE IN BID FOR OHIO GOVERNOR
"No gubernatorial campaign in Ohio history has ever put up numbers like this, and it sends a clear message: Ohioans are fired up for Vivek, our campaign is growing, and we will win big in November," Ramaswamy's campaign manager Jonathan Ewing said in a statement.
The report, coming before next month's Ohio primary, showcases Ramaswamy's large fundraising advantage over his Democratic rival for governor, Amy Acton, a doctor and researcher who served as director of the state Department of Health from 2019-2020. The winner of November's election will succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Mike DeWine.
Once a top general election battleground state, Ohio has shifted to the right over the past decade, with Trump carrying the state by 11 points in the 2024 election.
But this year's race for governor, as well as a battle for a U.S. Senate seat in the Buckeye State, are expected to be competitive. The Cook Report, a nonpartisan political handicapper, rates the governor's race as leaning Republican, which is one step away from being considered a toss op.
As first reported by Fox News Digital last July, Ramaswamy pledged to infuse up to $30 million of his own money into his bid for governor. His campaign says the $25 million investment so far this year is a large down payment on the pledge.
RAMASWAMY DESCRIBES MAIN LESSON LEARNED BY REPUBLICANS AFTER DEMOCRATS' BIG WINS ON ELECTION DAY
Acton's campaign last week reported that it brought in $9.3 million in fundraising to date, which it highlighted as "the most ever raised at this point in the calendar by a Democratic candidate for governor in the state's history."
The campaign also reported more than $4.8 million raked in during the first three months of this year.
Campaign manager Philip Stein said the fundraising "is the clearest sign yet that Ohioans, including independents and Republicans, are excited to elect Dr. Amy Acton to be Ohio's next governor."
Ramaswamy, who was endorsed by Trump last year as he launched his campaign, has used his large financial lead over Acton to put up ads statewide in Ohio. The campaign in March launched a $10 million ad buy and pledged to keep running spots through Election Day in November.
Ramaswamy's campaign noted that "Vivek has already far surpassed all finance benchmarks set in recent gubernatorial campaigns."
They also spotlighted the grassroots nature of Ramaswamy's fundraising, with 392,347 donations from more than 120,000 unique donors, with an average contribution of just $63. They also pointed out that donors giving $200 or less accounted for over 98% of individual contributions.
The campaign pointed out that the fundraising drive will continue, and shared that Ramaswamy will headline a fundraising event in Columbus on Thursday evening that's expected to bring in over $1 million.
Mamdani takes 'Curse of the Mambino' on the chin as Mets' 11-game skid sets franchise record
The New York Mets have not won a game since New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hugged Mr. and Mrs. Met.
It is an 11-game losing streak for the Mets, the longest in franchise history (the streak began one game before Mamdani visited Citi Field), which prompted the New York Post to label the streak the "Curse of the Mambino."
Of course, it is a play on words with the "Curse of the Bambino" when the Boston Red Sox did not win a World Series for 86 years, a span that began shortly after they traded Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees.

Mamdani, though, took the nickname on the chin.
"I will accept being addressed as Mayor Mambino for the day," he said in a press conference on Tuesday, via the Post.
"There’s a lot of baseball to be played," he added. "I’m still keeping the faith as I know that many Mets fans are across the city."
The Mets are surely hurting, as Juan Soto landed on the injured list with a calf strain he suffered on April 3. Pete Alonso's replacement, Jorge Polanco, is also on the IL with both Achilles tendinitis and a wrist injury.
New York started the season hot, winning seven of their first 11 games, but it has been a nightmare ever since. Since the streak began, they rank last in OPS (.528) and runs (19) and 29th in average (.200). Their pitching also ranks second-to-last in ERA (5.70).
New York talk-show host Sid Rosenberg last week stated that he converted from Mets fandom to the New York Yankees, largely due to the Mets' aligning with Mamdani.
"The Mets allow their announcers to s--- on the late great Charlie, dealt away players who support Trump and celebrate a shortstop who’s [sic] wife works with the terrorist sympathizer. Seems like a pretty easy choice to me! Let’s Go Yankees (sorry Dad)," Rosenberg posted to X last week.
"Like my friend [Charles Gasparino] once wrote "Go Woke, Go Broke!" The Mamdani Mets are too WOKE for me! See ya at the Stadium soon fans!"
The 7-15 Mets are back in Queens to begin what should be a nine-game get-right homestand against the Minnesota Twins, Colorado Rockies, and Washington Nationals.
But for their opponents, the Mets might just be their get-right series.
Supreme Court sinks wrongful death suit against Andrew Cuomo for COVID nursing home fatalities
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s camp responded defiantly Tuesday after the Supreme Court declined to hear a wrongful death case brought on appeal by a Brooklyn man who blamed the Democrat’s COVID-era nursing home orders for his father’s 2020 death.
Cuomo was one of several Democratic COVID-era governors, including Pennsylvania’s Tom Wolf and California’s Gavin Newsom, who came under intense scrutiny for their lockdown procedures and policies that required nursing homes to accept returning hospital patients regardless of their coronavirus infection status.
A Cuomo spokesman told Fox News Digital that the high court was the latest to absolve the former governor of alleged wrongdoing, while the plaintiff told New York media he was "disappointed" by the decision.
"For six long years, families have had to deal with unimaginable losses of loved ones from COVID and it doesn’t get easier, especially when that pain was manipulated and politicized," said Rich Azzopardi, Cuomo’s longtime ombudsman.
DANIEL PENNY DEFENSE EYES MANHATTAN DA ALVIN BRAGG FOR POTENTIAL MALICIOUS PROSECUTION LAWSUIT
"Every investigation and every court to examine these claims has reached the same conclusion: there was no wrongdoing by Governor Cuomo or his administration," Azzopardi said.
"Today, the Supreme Court joins that list."
The plaintiff, Daniel Arbeeny of Brooklyn, sued Cuomo and his then-health commissioner Howard Zucker under federal law covering deprivation of rights and a state wrongful death statute, according to court documents from the Manhattan-based Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
A district court previously dismissed the suit on qualified immunity grounds, which generally state that public officials cannot be prosecuted for actions taken in their official capacity. Police have similar protections.
Arbeeny’s father Norman died at 89 after being released from a Cobble Hill nursing home where COVID patients were housed.
MANGIONE SUPPORTERS PUSH 'JURY NULLIFICATION' AS UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO ASSASSINATION TRIAL LOOMS
When Cuomo was running for mayor in 2025, a bipartisan group, including Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, current Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and Brooklyn State Sen. Zellnor Myrie, made the issue a focal point and protested together to demand accountability from the New York political scion.
"You need to face us and apologize. If you are going to lead you are going to lead for all of us," Norman’s other son Peter Arbeeny told Brooklyn Paper.
Cuomo’s policy, like that of other Democratic governors, aimed to assuage fears that COVID-related hospitalizations would overwhelm capacity and led to a ban on nursing homes denying admission solely based on a COVID diagnosis.
"The Supreme Court doesn’t erase what was done and the truth of what happened. Nine thousand COVID-positive patients were forced into nursing homes with deadly consequences," Daniel Arbeeny added Tuesday to the New York Post, a corporate cousin of Fox News Digital.
In remarks to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, Azzopardi said that independent reviews, including those from the DOJ, the New York County district attorney’s office, and the New York State attorney general’s office, found Cuomo’s nursing home guidance consistent with federal policy at the time.
"[It] aligned with actions taken on Democratic and Republican states across the country during a once-in-a-century pandemic," Azzopardi said. "The facts are settled and the highest court has spoken."
LUIGI MANGIONE ASSASSINATION CASE SIGNALS DOJ SHIFT ON DEATH PENALTY IN BLUE STATES, EXPERT SAYS
He also cited a New York State Department of Health report cited in a legal memo that stated the Cobble Hill nursing home the elder Arbeeny was a patient at had its first COVID-positive-testing patient admitted days after the man was discharged.
While the case was being litigated, Cuomo said via a court filing that the purposes of his mandates were clearly aimed at freeing up hospital beds for "patients with more acute needs" and meant to send "individuals… who were no longer contagious back to facilities who could provide them with adequate care."
In a Fox & Friends interview after the New York County District Attorney's office closed its 2022 probe into the nursing home deaths, New York State Assemblyman Ron Kim, D-Flushing, said Cuomo's lawyers and "PR team" want the public to believe he had been "absolved."
Fox News chief meteorologist Janice Dean, whose in-laws died in a nursing home, said that news suggested a political "deal" between Albany and top prosecutors.
New York Department of Health records obtained by Fox News showed Cuomo reported 8,505 deaths through January 2021 with the actual figure topping 12,000.
Daniel Arbeeny told Fox News at the time that Norman's death was preventable because "the governor decided to lie about it."
The Supreme Court did not issue a reason for its decision not to hear the case.
CIA personnel killed in Mexico crash tied to cartel operation, questions mount over US role
Mexico’s president is demanding answers after a crash killed two U.S. officials tied to a cartel-related operation — an incident exposing conflicting accounts over American involvement inside the country.
Fox News can independently confirm via a U.S. official that the two deceased individuals worked for the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA declined to comment.
The crash in the northern state of Chihuahua killed two U.S. Embassy personnel and two Mexican officials as they were returning from an operation targeting a clandestine drug lab, according to authorities.
President Claudia Sheinbaum said her administration was not informed of any U.S. presence and has ordered an investigation into whether Mexican sovereignty or national security laws were violated.
MEXICO BROKE INTERNATIONAL LAW WITH THE CARTELS AND AMERICANS SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES
"We were not aware of any direct work or coordination between the state of Chihuahua and personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Mexico," Sheinbaum said in a Tuesday press conference, adding that her government is seeking information from both local authorities and the United States.
She stressed that Mexico does not permit joint operations with foreign governments, saying cooperation is limited to intelligence-sharing "within a clearly defined framework … in keeping with our sovereignty."
But officials in Chihuahua, Mexico, offered a different account, describing the U.S. personnel as part of routine cooperation with local authorities.
"Two instructor officers from the U.S. Embassy died while carrying out training duties as part of the exchange we generally and routinely have with U.S. authorities," state prosecutor César Jáuregui Moreno said in a Tuesday press conference.
He added the Americans had "always supported us with advisory support and training, as part of our regular exchange."
Experts say those roles often extend beyond the classroom.
"The CIA has been supporting counter-narcotics efforts for some time and works closely with the DEA, the military and partner governments," said Christine Balling, a counterinsurgency expert with experience in Latin America.
Balling said the role described as "training" can place U.S. personnel alongside partner forces in operational settings.
"People think training is just in the classroom — it’s not," she said. "These officers would be working with partner forces on things like strategy or technology, including drones."
"It makes perfect sense that they would be on site when an operation is carried out and be vulnerable," she added.
Under Mexican law, foreign security cooperation is generally subject to federal oversight, but in practice those relationships can play out at the local level, sometimes without national leaders being directly involved in every operation.
The incident comes as tensions grow over the U.S. role in Mexico’s fight against powerful drug cartels.
President Donald Trump has increased pressure on Mexico to crack down on trafficking groups, while recent operations have relied heavily on U.S. support, including surveillance and intelligence-sharing to locate cartel targets.
But Sheinbaum has drawn a firm line against any unilateral U.S. activity inside Mexico.
Balling said Sheinbaum likely was not aware of the specific mission but faces political pressure to distance herself from any American-involved operations.
"There are domestic political pressures to show that the government is in control and not allowing outside forces to take over," she said.
"I would be shocked if she knew the details, unless it was the type of operation that required a president’s sign-off," Balling added.
It remains unclear what caused the crash, and authorities have not said whether foul play is suspected.
Officials said the Americans were not involved in the raid itself and had been conducting training work elsewhere before meeting with Mexican investigators after the operation.
Balling said the circumstances may never be fully clear, raising the possibility — without evidence — that cartel involvement could be difficult to confirm publicly.
"It makes perfect sense that they would be on site when an operation would go down and then be vulnerable to whether this was actually an accident or an intentional hit," she said. "I don’t think that would ever be made public."
New House Democrat Analilia Mejia sworn in to fill seat vacated by Mikie Sherrill
Democrat Analilia Mejia was sworn in to the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday after decisively winning a special election last week in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District.

Woman opens fire on Maryland gas station clerk during attempted robbery
The Howard County Police Department in Maryland released surveillance footage of a suspect opening fire inside a gas station during what investigators believe to have been an attempted robbery.
In the footage, which does not include any sound, the woman can be seen holding the gun and speaking before eventually shooting.
The incident occurred on Friday. The police shared the video on Monday, offering up to $2,500 for information that leads to the suspect.
A reward of up to $1,000 had previously been offered.
"At approximately 7:43 p.m. April 17 police were called to the Shell gas station in the 7200 block of Cradlerock Way in Columbia for a report of a shooting," police said in a statement.

More naps, higher risk? Research links daytime sleep to health warnings in aging adults
Excessive daytime napping is associated with higher mortality risk in older adults, according to new research from Mass General Brigham.
Between 20% and 60% of older adults take naps, according to the researchers.
While occasional naps have been shown to be refreshing, frequent or prolonged daytime napping in this group has been associated with a variety of health concerns.
The study followed 1,338 older adults for up to 19 years, tracking the timing and duration of their daytime napping habits using a wrist-worn tracker. They then examined all-cause mortality rates.
Taking longer, more frequent naps — or napping in the morning — were all associated with increased mortality risk and may be early warning signs of underlying health decline, according to a press release from Mass Brigham.
Morning naps were linked to about a 30% increase in mortality risk, and each additional hour of daily napping was associated with about a 13% higher risk, the study found. Each additional nap per day increased risk by roughly 7%.

"Excessive napping later in life has been linked to neurodegeneration, cardiovascular diseases and even greater morbidity, but many of those findings rely on self-reported napping habits and leave out metrics like when and how regular those naps are," lead author Chenlu Gao, Ph.D., an investigator in the department of anesthesiology at the Mass General Brigham, said in the press release.
"Our study is one of the first to show an association between objectively measured nap patterns and mortality and suggests there is immense clinical value in tracking napping patterns to catch health conditions early."
There were some limitations to the study. Because it was observational in design, it only showed that napping may reflect underlying illness but did not prove that it caused mortality.

The research did not take into account any contributing health conditions, and the sleep trackers only measured movement and not brain activity. This means rest could be misclassified as sleep in some cases.
Also, because the study population was limited to older, White adults in the Midwest, the results may not apply to other groups.
"It is important to note that this is correlation, not causation. Excessive napping is likely to indicate underlying disease, chronic conditions, sleep disturbances or circadian dysregulation," said Gao.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
"Now that we know there is a strong correlation between napping patterns and mortality rates, we can make the case to implement wearable daytime nap assessments to predict health conditions and prevent further decline."
The study was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and affiliated research programs.
Dept of Interior compares Trump to Teddy Roosevelt amid Hall of Fame reports
The U.S. Department of the Interior has addressed a recent report that Secretary Doug Burgum is pushing for former President Teddy Roosevelt to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the department compared Roosevelt's impact in saving American football to President Donald Trump's recent executive action to reform college sports.
The New York Post reported Saturday that Burgum made the comments about Roosevelt's Hall of Fame candidacy at a Bank of America reception on Thursday.

"Roger Goodell was in the White House in the Oval Office, I had a chance to be with him there, because we, the National Park Service, control the National Mall," Burgum reportedly said. "The draft for the NFL is being held on the Mall a year from now (and) the Capitol will be in the background.
"Keep it a secret. Keep your fingers crossed, but I think we’re going to see Theodore Roosevelt inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame….it’s going to be announced on the Mall when Roger Goodell is conducting the draft."
Teddy Roosevelt is credited with saving football in 1905–1906 by forcing college leaders to reform the game's rules after frequent injury-related deaths of players.
MICHIGAN HOLDS OFF UCONN TO CAPTURE FIRST MEN'S BASKETBALL NATIONAL TITLE SINCE 1989
The reforms led to the creation of the forward pass and the banning of dangerous formations.
Meanwhile, Trump has passed several executive orders aimed at regulating NIL, while protecting non-revenue sports and women's sports amid growing financial pressure for universities to invest in revenue programs like football and basketball.
Trump signed an executive order on April 3 titled "Urgent National Action to Save College Sports," aimed at curbing the influence of NIL collectives and transfer portal freedom. The order proposes strict five-year eligibility limits, caps transfers, and threatens to pull federal funding from institutions not following NCAA rules to establish a uniform national framework.
Trump has also taken executive action to mandate that revenue-sharing models implemented by universities must preserve or expand scholarships and opportunities for women’s and Olympic sports, preventing them from being reduced to pay football or basketball players.
In February of last year, Trump signed the "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order that redefined Title IX to mean that "sex" is based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth. This explicitly banned transgender women from competing in women’s college sports.

Nike criticized for walking back Boston Marathon ad following ‘pace shaming’ backlash
Nike is facing backlash after a now-viral Boston Marathon ad reading "Runners welcome. Walkers tolerated." drew criticism online for allegedly "pace-shaming" slower participants and those with disabilities.
"This is not OK. We should be building a more inclusive community, not isolating and belittling people that are a part of it," running coach Amy Gougler said in a TikTok post.
"As a run-walk runner, this is offensive," she added.
"If I’m honest, [the ad] left me feeling uneasy..." wrote Boston-based Instagram user Dr. Hussain Al-Zubaidi.
"Many people taking on the marathon next week will walk all or part of it. For them, what does a message like this say? Does it inspire, or does it exclude?"
The sportswear giant responded to the backlash by emphasizing inclusivity, saying it wants more people to "feel welcome in running," regardless of "pace, experience or the distance."
"During race week in Boston, we put up a series of signs to encourage runners. One of them missed the mark," the company said.
"We took it down, and we’ll use this moment to do better and continue showing up for all runners."
SEAFOOD RESTAURANT FIRES BACK AT ANTI-AMERICAN HUFFPOST OLYMPICS ARTICLE
The controversy quickly spilled into the news cycle and became a flashpoint on Monday’s episode of "Gutfeld!," where panelists dismissed the backlash and criticized Nike for backing down.
"The only mistake Nike have made here is apologizing and climbing down," said Piers Morgan, host of "Piers Morgan Uncensored."
Morgan argued marathons are, by definition, for runners.
"If you’re in a marathon, you should do what it says on the tin. You should run," he added.
Others echoed Morgan's view, with comedian Jeff Dye saying the backlash is overblown.
"I support people that walk in marathons. I think that's fine," he said.
"The outrage is insane. It's insane they apologized..."

Co-host Kat Timpf questioned the legitimacy of the outrage.
"I just am trying to decide if the offense at this is real. It could not possibly be real," she said, adding, "That's what the shoes are for [running]. Can you not describe the shoes?"
X users similarly sounded off on the decision to pull the ad, with some arguing Nike shouldn't have backed down.
Will Ahmed, founder of wearable tech company WHOOP, said he would have stood by the ad.
"Nike’s DNA is winning and competition. It’s an ad for the Boston Marathon which is a RACE that is very hard to qualify for in a city that has a winning sports culture. Those details matter," he wrote.
"The line was good in that it 'cut through' and got people talking about Nike. That’s the point of marketing. And I can guarantee you there’s a whole group of people in Boston who are runners and walkers alike that read it and loved it..."
Others struck a similar tone.
"People gotta lighten up," wrote former Forbes contributor and Ideasicle X founder Will Burns.
"That was a great ad coming from Nike. And I can't believe Nike backed down. Maybe their tagline should be updated to 'Just do it (unless it offends someone).'"
Nike has since replaced the ad with a more inclusive message: "Boston will always remind you, movement is what matters."
