FBI Fires Analysts Who Drafted Controversial Anti-Catholic Memo Via Headline USA , Several FBI analysts who drafted a 2023 memo that cited Southern Poverty Law Center information to justify targeting “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as potential violent domestic extremists were fired Friday, according to their lawyer, the latest wave of terminations under the leadership of its director Kash Patel. The fired employees included four intelligence analysts and a supervisory analyst. The FBI declined to comment. The January 2023 intelligence product produced by analysts in the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia, field office emerged as a political flashpoint after it was issued, with Republicans in Congress repeatedly citing it as part of their broader contention that the FBI during the Biden administration was targeting conservatives. The FBI quickly backtracked from the memo at the time, saying it had been drafted in error. Then-director Chris Wray repeatedly denied that charge and the FBI has said the document was quickly retracted and an internal review was launched. Merrick Garland, the attorney general under President Joe Biden, has said he was “appalled” by the memo. 🚨BREAKING🚨 The FBI's controversial memo targeting Catholics was inspired by an investigation into a schizophrenic man I've got the records to prove it 🧵 https://t.co/vTLAQI9gJr — Ken Silva (@JD_Cashless) April 23, 2024 As Headline USA exclusively revealed in April 2024, the FBI’s troubling memo was crafted by analysts involved in an investigation into a schizophrenic man who began attending a traditional Catholic church in early 2022. That schizophrenic man, 24-year-old Xavier Lopez, was arrested in November 2022 on a slew of domestic extremism-related charges. His mental health diagnosis was revealed during criminal proceedings . According to records from his case, Lopez was on law enforcement’s radar since September 2018, when he attempted suicide. Lopez was 18 years old at the time. The FBI opened an asses...

Five leading scientists were ousted from the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in New Orleans on Friday. Their crime: handing out copies of an editorial, published in the journal Diabetes Care on April 29, sharply criticizing the Trump administration's ongoing attacks on scientific research. Those ousted were Steven Kahn, professor of medicine at the University of Washington and editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care, who co-authored the published editorial; former ADA president Desmond Schatz of the University of Florida, Gainesville; Aaron Kelly, pediatrics processor at the University of Minnesota; Justin Ryder of Northwestern University; and Irl Hirsch, also of the University of Washington. The five were handing out reprints of the editorial outside a room where NIH director Jay Bhattacharya had been scheduled to speak. Bhattacharya cancelled and another NIH official spoke in his stead. "They physically grabbed us, forced us out of the conference center, and now are telling us we can no longer attend this meeting," Kelly told MedPage Today , which first reported the incident. "They're taking our lanyards. It really has come to this in America. Censorship is real. America needs to stand up. Scientists, stand up. Physicians, stand up." Read full article Comments
Software stocks spent the first part of 2026 among the market's weakest names. Investors worried that artificial intelligence (AI) agents would chip away at the per-seat licensing model on which much of enterprise software is built, and the selling was severe.

Software stocks spent the first part of 2026 among the market's weakest names. Investors worried that artificial intelligence (AI) agents would chip away at the per-seat licensing model on which much of enterprise software is built, and the selling was severe. The group, however, has since stabilized. May was the sector's best month in more than two decades. Though shares pulled back again over the past week, leaving much of the year's earlier damage in place. That sets up a useful comparison between two enterprise software leaders. Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) brought customer relationship management (CRM) to the cloud and is now pushing hard into AI agents through its Agentforce platform. And ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) automates the digital workflows that move work through large organizations, from IT support to security response. Both are down meaningfully in 2026. But which is the better buy? Continue reading
