Then the story that blows everything else out of the water: allegations that the Southern Poverty Law Center funneled money to extremist figures—fueling outrage and reopening questions about its attacks on conservatives like Charlie Kirk. Wins, warnings, and a scandal that could have serious fallout—all colliding at once.
