According to Grok:
I never thought I’d live to see even this much justice done.

The former CFO of the Southern Poverty Law Center, Heidi Beirich, was arrested on Wednesday on fraud and money laundering charges, and watching it all unfold from a great distance was like watching the sun break through the clouds after endless days of rain.
Heidi Beirich will likely never serve time in prison or face any other serious consequences for her crimes. Unlike her victims, she has endless amounts of ready cash and a massive number of friends in the deep state. The Wednesday arrest was nevertheless the public humiliation that has been needed for so long, as even a small counterbalance to the outsize influence the SPLC has enjoyed for so very long, absolutely unchallenged.
The popular X account “Insurrection Barbie” pointed out in April 2026 that the “SPLC’s hate map got hardwired into corporate America. Amazon’s AmazonSmile program used SPLC lists to exclude charities. PayPal, GoFundMe, Patreon, Airbnb, Eventbrite, Mastercard, Visa many used SPLC classifications to deplatform people and organizations. Bezos later admitted to Congress that Amazon’s reliance on SPLC was ‘an imperfect system’ and that he’d ‘like a better source.’”
Bezos may have told Congress that the SPLC was “imperfect,” but he never stopped relying on it. He still does to this day. I know this from bitter experience. Because the SPLC designated my organization, Jihad Watch, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a “hate group,” it was banned from Amazon Smile years ago. That ban is still in place. Neither the SPLC nor Amazon allows any appeal of its sacred judgments. It would be like appealing against a divine oracle.
Amazon Smile was just the tip of the iceberg. Because the SPLC put me on its blacklist, I was also demonetized at YouTube and banned from PayPal, GoFundMe, and Mastercard, as well as Patreon, Zelle, and numerous other services. PayPal and Patreon relented after they heard from my attorneys. YouTube last year reversed itself without explanation. The others have remained impervious to all entreaties. GoFundMe is so vindictive that it doesn’t even allow me to donate to other people, as well as to receive donations myself. The SPLC’s hit pieces on me and my organization would show up at the top of all internet searches for my name and Jihad Watch, which led to incalculable reputational damage and an unknowable number of lost professional opportunities.
This is what the SPLC did to just one person, someone who was actually small potatoes and low down on their hit list. They did the same and much worse to higher-profile individuals and groups. And never did it cross anyone’s mind that the watchman might need watching, and that the SPLC might not be the absolutely impartial and trustworthy judge that everyone assumed it to be.
Henry Fernandez of the far-left, Soros-funded Center for American Progress was just one of the many who praised the SPLC, saying in 2018 that it was “the leading organization that identifies hate groups in the country.” Fernandez said of Beirich that “she is really probably the nation’s foremost expert on various forms of extremism, including the white supremacist, nativist and neo-confederate movements as well as racism in academia. Even if you don’t know who Heidi Beirich is, you actually do because she leads the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, which publishes the award-winning intelligence report. They’re the leading organization that identifies what hate groups in the country are.”
That’s what millions of people assumed until it came to light that the SPLC was funding the white supremacist groups it was claiming to fight, trumping up the threat that it was supposedly dedicated to eradicating in order to bilk donors out of massive amounts of money. Beirich was also apparently shoveling massive amounts of money at her neo-Nazi boyfriend.
“One of the most explosive allegations,” according to Fox News, “centers on a source identified as ‘F-9,’ whom prosecutors say infiltrated the neo-Nazi National Alliance and received more than $1.2 million from the SPLC during the period covered by the indictment. Prosecutors allege Beirich oversaw payments to F-9 while also having a romantic relationship with him, with the pair sharing a home and two bank accounts.” In infiltrating the Nazi group, F-9’s job was not, according to the indictment, to undermine it, but to prop it up so that the SPLC could have a foe to fight.
Reputations have been ruined. Solid organizations have been hamstrung or destroyed. The SPLC is likely responsible more than any other group for the ascendancy of the left and the decline of patriotic groups in the United States over the last two decades. The arrest of Heidi Beirich doesn’t provide redress for the massive injustices the SPLC has committed. But it sure is satisfying to see.

Ten fresh corpses were discovered across the central Mexican state of Zacatecas on Saturday, according to local authorities, including five who were discovered hanging from a highway bridge.
The bodies, half-naked and showing signs of torture, were found at three separate locations in the state. Some of them had pieces of cardboard attached to them with messages attributed to an organized crime group. The victims included a former mayor and two municipal officials.
Federal and state security forces have been deployed and an investigation is underway. No arrests have been announced at the time of writing.

Zacatecas has long been one of Mexico’s most violent states, as rival drug cartels battle for control of trafficking routes linking the country’s Pacific coast with the US border. The latest killings come just days after federal and state authorities reported a sharp decline in homicides and said security conditions had improved.
Public displays of bodies, including victims hanged from bridges, have long been used by Mexican criminal groups to intimidate rivals and send messages. The latest killings echo a series of similar attacks in recent years.
In June 2025, authorities found 20 bodies in the northwestern state of Sinaloa, including four decapitated victims hanging from a bridge. Their heads were discovered nearby, in a plastic bag.
Mexico is co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside the US and Canada. Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Mexico City staged 13 matches during the tournament, with the country’s final fixture, Mexico’s Round of 16 defeat to England, played in the capital on July 6. The tournament concludes on Sunday with the final between Spain and Argentina in New Jersey.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday he’s stopping more than $1 billion in federal Medicaid payments to California and Minnesota over suspected fraud.
“We are not sending Medicaid dollars out the door until we have confidence that they are being spent lawfully and appropriately,” Kennedy said at an announcement on Tuesday.
Kennedy said if California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) want the money to fund low-income healthcare, “they need to provide documentation that these payments are legitimate.”
“Instead of protecting your money, they open the floodgates to theft,” Kennedy said. “They dismantle basic program integrity and oversight.”
The health secretary criticized the Biden administration’s oversight of Medicaid, arguing that former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra “looked the other way while fraud, waste, and abuse exploded.”
“The scammers got paid,” Kennedy said. “The taxpayers got stuck with these enormous bills.”
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is deferring over $200 million and over $867 million in federal Medicaid payments for Minnesota and California, respectively. The hold will be in place while federal officers review “high-risk Medicaid claims” and document deficiencies.
In Minnesota, the funding involves 14 high-risk areas that were identified as suspect because of vulnerabilities or evidence of fraudulent activity.
CMS officials suspect the questionable spending in California is rooted in in-home services. Over the past two federal fiscal years, California’s spending in these programs went up 24%, while the rest of the country’s average was 12%, according to CMS administrator Mehmet Oz.
“So California increased spending at twice the rate of the average of the rest of the entire nation,” Oz said. “That doesn’t make sense.”
According to CMS, California’s frozen funds include $221 million in associated claims involving individuals, which Oz describes as “unsatisfactory immigration status.”
Federal officials also cited millions of dollars in claims tied to services allegedly provided to beneficiaries after they die.
Oz said they’re working with the administrations of both states, and Minnesota has already returned the documents to ensure the money is being well spent.
Walz’s office responded to the Medicaid cuts in a statement to The Post, saying that the “Trump Administration is cutting more money in healthcare than they’ve prosecuted for fraud.”
Newsom also said in an X post that the announcement is a “recycled political stunt,” and that California is being targeted for political reasons — not due to fraud.
The clampdown is part of a broader Trump administration effort to go after waste, fraud and abuse.
Kennedy said the Trump Administration has expanded from using just traditional financial verification to go after fraud. To identify suspicious spending, CMS used AI, advanced analytics and “other cutting-edge tools.”
Just a month ago, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced 455 people were charged for $6.5 billion in healthcare fraud schemes.
The feds say this was the “greatest combined federal and state effort in combating health care fraud in history,” charging individuals who used taxpayer-funded programs to pay for lux lifestyles.
The funds will be deferred until California and Minnesota can substantiate their claims from the previous quarter of audits.
