DOJ indicts the SPLC for
fraud — including paying an informant who helped plan Charlottesville.

plan to dethrone the dollar.

Boyd argues that media narratives about Donald Trump being trapped by
impeachment, high prices, and a new Iran war are false, and that the
administration has launched an “accountability” and economic
steamroller. The DOJ has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for
fraud, alleging the SPLC smeared conservatives while secretly funding
racist groups and paying an informant who helped plan the 2017
Charlottesville “Unite the Right” event. FBI Director Kash Patel has cut
ties with the SPLC and ADL, and the IRS is banning fiscal sponsorships
that hide donors. Boyd also covers five Defense Production Act energy
executive orders to rapidly expand the U.S. grid and fuel infrastructure
to drive prices down, plus Regeneron joining “most favored nation” drug
pricing. Finally, she breaks down Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s
expansion of dollar swap lines to Gulf and Asian allies, framing it as
outflanking London-backed alternatives to the dollar.
