WASHINGTON (AP) — The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted Tuesday on federal fraud charges alleging it improperly raised millions of dollars to pay informants to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and other extremist groups, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said. The Justice Department alleges the civil rights group defrauded donors by using their money to fund the very extremism it claimed to be fighting, with payments of at least $3 million between 2014 and 2023 to people affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, the United Klans of America, the National Socialist Party of America and other extremist groups. “The SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred,” Blanche said. The civil rights group faces charges including wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in the case brought by the Justice Department in Alabama, where the organization is based. more at https://apnews.com/article/southern-poverty-law-center-criminal-investigation-db7fdcf9baa0d1b24b8f1e1f2cebc0be

Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigns minutes before hearing on whether she should be expelled WASHINGTON — Embattled Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., resigned on Tuesday, moments before the House Ethics Committee was set to consider whether to recommend she be expelled from Congress. Last month, the Ethics panel found her guilty of 25 ethics violations related to allegations she stole federal relief funds and used some of the money to fund her political campaign. Her criminal trial is expected to begin in February 2027, and she complained that it was a "dangerous path" for the Ethics panel to weigh her expulsion before her day in court. She has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty. "I will not stand by and pretend that this has been anything other than a witch hunt. I simply cannot stand by and allow my due process rights to be trampled on, and my good name to be tarnished," Cherfilus-McCormick said of the Ethics process in a statement posted on X. more at https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/democratic-rep-sheila-cherfilus-mccormick-resigns-ethics-probe-rcna341199

where's the marches and protests by BLM? Suspect dead after 8 children killed, 2 women wounded in Louisiana shooting SHREVEPORT, La. — A man in Louisiana killed eight children Sunday in a shooting that authorities described as a domestic violence incident and was later killed by police after he fled in a carjacked vehicle, officials said. The suspect's wife and a woman believed to be his girlfriend were also shot and seriously injured in the violence, which occurred at two homes in the early morning, Shreveport police said. The children killed were three boys and five girls, ages 3 to 11, the Caddo Parish Coroner's Office said. Police had previously given their ages as about 1 to 14. “I just don’t know what to say. My heart is just taken aback,” Shreveport Police Chief Wayne Smith told reporters. “I just cannot begin to imagine how such an event can occur.” Police identified Shamar Elkins as the shooter and sole suspect. Seven of the eight children who were killed were his, police spokesperson Christopher Bordelon said. One of the children was a cousin, according to the coroner's office. more at https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/louisiana-shreveport-mass-shooting-rcna340868

and another one falls Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer Resigns Amid Probe Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned Monday amid allegations of inappropriate conduct by her and her closest aides. "Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector," White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung wrote on X. "She has done a phenomenal job in her role by protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives." Cheung's post came about 30 minutes after two sources familiar with the matter told digital outlet NOTUS about Chavez-DeRemer's resignation. Her tenure has been hampered by multiple scandals, including an investigation into an alleged extramarital affair with a member of her security team, as well as accusations of inappropriate behavior, such as drinking on the job. Chavez-DeRemer's resignation marks the third Cabinet-level departure this year after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi. more at https://www.newsmax.com/politics/lori-chavez-deremer-labor-secretary-resignation/2026/04/20/id/1253585/

A TikToker in Mexico thought her cough that wouldn’t go away was just a reaction to the changing weather. Instead, it was her own nose ring, lodged deep within her lungs. The 26-year-old, Monica Deyanira Cabrera Barajas, recently went viral on TikTok, amassing 4.7 million views after revealing the freak medical accident. In videos, she shared that the stray accessory sat a mere 0.5 millimeters from her aorta, Jam Press reported. Deyanira, who has a large number of piercings, didn't initially notice the jewelry was missing. It wasn't until she developed a "chronic cough" lasting over a month that she went to see a doctor. "The only theory I have, which I told the pulmonologist, is that I fell asleep, the little ball fell out, and that was it," Deyanira told creatorzine.com. more at https://www.foxnews.com/health/woman-discovers-missing-nose-ring-traveled-lungs-causing-month-long-cough
