THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—A socialist group with ties to a China-based financier is setting up indoor hubs for radical activism in neighborhoods across the U.S. The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) has at least 28 event spaces, often called “Liberation Centers,” open since 2021 or in preparation, a Daily Caller News Foundation review of...
A district court judge ordered the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which bills itself as America’s largest Muslim civil rights group, to hand over donor information to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

The Southern Poverty Law Center raises money by presenting itself as the expert on combating “hate,” and then exaggerating “hate” to scare donors into ponying up cash. The problem? The SPLC’s inflated demand for “hate” has long outstripped the supply. Thousands of donors expect the SPLC to prove there’s enough “hate” to justify their donations,...
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson served on the board of the Southern Poverty Law Center while the SPLC paid members of the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan Nations. Benson, a Democrat running for governor, joined the organization’s board in 2014 and left in 2019, when the SPLC fired its co-founder, Morris Dees, amid...
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which makes its money by exaggerating “hate” to scare donors and by comparing conservatives to the Ku Klux Klan, was itself funding Klan members—and now major Democrats are beclowning themselves by defending it. Like a dog returns to its vomit, so Democrats return to the ridiculous claim that the SPLC...
Rep. Chip Roy told The Daily Signal that the Justice Department’s indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, while a welcome move, represents just one step in a broader effort the administration has undertaken against leftist groups. “The indictments are an enormously important step forward and an indication that the administration is taking this seriously,”...
