SPLC Leader Pleads Not Guilty To Charges Of Funneling Millions To Neo-Nazis Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, The Southern Poverty Law Center’s leader entered a not guilty plea in federal court this week, desperately fighting charges that the organization defrauded its donors by secretly funneling more than $3 million to the very white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups it claimed to oppose. The SPLC was forced to respond to an 11-count indictment from the Trump DOJ, including six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud and false statements, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Commentators are labelling the case one of the biggest scams ever to be exposed. 🚨 UPDATE: The Southern Poverty Law Center leader frantically pleads NOT GUILTY after they were exposed funding millions to white supremacists and neo-nazis SHUT IT DOWN! - 6 counts of wire fraud - 4 counts of bank fraud and false statements - 1 count of conspiracy to commit… pic.twitter.com/bfHORfLgTG — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) May 9, 2026 The SPLC is accused of making payments amounting to over $1 million to a National Alliance affiliate, more than $300,000 to an Aryan Nations affiliate, $270,000 to a “Unite the Right” member, $140,000 to a former National Alliance chairman, $73,000 to former KKK members, and $19,000 to an American Front president and felon. The court appearance comes just weeks after the Trump DOJ’s indictment exposed the scheme. The DOJ alleges the SPLC used a now-defunct informant program as cover. Donors were never told their money was going to actual extremists through shell companies, sham accounts, and prepaid cards between 2014 and 2023. Instead of dismantling hate groups, the organization allegedly propped them up—manufacturing the very threats it used to justify its existence and fundraising. SPLC interim president and CEO Bryan Fair issued a statement after the arraignment: “The charges against the SPLC are provably wrong; they are based on inacc...

Oil surged after US President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest response to his proposal to end the war in the Middle East, prolonging the effective closure of the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude advanced as much as 3.5% to $104.80 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate climbed to near $99. In a social media post, Trump said the response was “ TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE ” as the two sides struggle to maintain a fragile ceasefire following a series of flareups in hostilities. The near-closure of Hormuz since the start of the war at the end of February has choked off supplies of crude, natural gas and fuels to global customers, driving up energy prices and raising inflation fears. The International Energy Agency says the conflict is causing the biggest supply shock in history. Tehran offered to transfer some of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to a third country, but rejected the idea of dismantling its nuclear facilities, the Wall Street Journal reported . Iran disputed the report, according to the nation’s semi-official news agency Tasnim. A drone strike on Sunday that briefly set a cargo vessel ablaze off Qatar in the Persian Gulf marked the latest shipping attack in the region since the ceasefire began in early April. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait also said they had intercepted hostile drones. To get Bloomberg’s Energy Daily newsletter in your inbox, click here . Brent for July settlement climbed 3.2% to $ 104.50 a barrel at 6:02 a.m. in Singapore after closing 1.2% higher on Friday. WTI for June delivery rose 3.2% to $ 98.50 a barrel.

The current earnings season is not over yet, but Planet Fitness (NYSE: PLNT) is on track to become one of the more notable stocks of this period. The gym stock -- which was already down significantly for the year -- lost almost one-third of its value following its first quarter earnings release Thursday. Cuts to its sales and earnings guidance, as well as management's decision not to increase the price of its premium Black Card membership, appeared to spook investors. The stock is now down by about 58% year to date. That may leave investors wondering what to do. Should they buy Planet Fitness or stay away from what has suddenly become an even more volatile stock?

Countries such as US and Mexico that have longer hours also have higher obesity rates, research finds Those who work longer hours are more likely to be obese and cutting how much time you spend working could help you keep the weight off, research suggests. International research presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Istanbul compared working patterns and obesity prevalence for 33 OECD countries from 1990 to 2022. The study found that countries such as the US, Mexico and Colombia, which have longer annual working hours, also had higher obesity rates, even though northern European countries consume more energy and fat on average than those in Latin America.

伊朗透過有份斡旋的巴基斯坦，回應美國結束戰爭方案，但未有披露細節。美國總統特朗普表明，完全不接受伊朗相關回應，更指美軍一直監察伊朗的濃縮鈾，如果有人夠膽接近就會被炸。 伊朗國營電視台周日在社交平台轉發一條影片，影片中一名伊朗海軍軍官正一邊追趕一艘美國戰艦，將其趕出波斯灣，一邊嘲諷美國人。 有海事分析公司稱，根據衛星影像和多源情報顯示，伊朗可能正在部署快速攻擊艇編隊，為通過霍爾木茲海峽的船隻護航。 該公司發帖文表示，觀測到一艘散貨船，似乎正同一個高速艇編隊一齊通過海峽，這可能意味著海峽內正進行護航行動。監測數據還顯示，周六觀測到多組高速艇集群活動，包括五個高速艇編隊、超過80艘高速艇向北移動。 伊朗海軍司令伊拉尼表示，鑑於海峽面臨態勢，伊朗自主建造的輕型潛艇正保持高度戒備，並將繼續擴大部署，及執行海底潛伏任務。伊拉尼說，伊朗海軍潛艇長期在海峽航道靜默停伏，對沿線各類敵對艦船進行跟蹤與摧毀。 伊朗傳媒報道，伊朗最高領袖穆傑塔巴周日會見伊朗武裝部隊中央總部司令阿卜杜拉希，並下達新的指令，並將延續此前採取的措施，有力打擊敵人。 阿卜杜拉希匯報稱，伊朗戰士在士氣、防禦和進攻準備、戰略計劃等方面，都做好了充分準備，若美方出現任何戰略錯誤、侵略或攻擊行為，伊朗將迅速、猛烈、有力地予以應對。 伊朗傳媒周日報道稱，伊朗已向巴基斯坦調解方，正式提交對美國提出的結束戰爭最新方案的回應。報道指，當前階段的談判將完全聚焦在停止地區內敵對行動。美國總統特朗普早前重申，伊朗很想達成協議。 另據《華爾街日報》報道，以色列已在伊拉克沙漠中建立一個秘密軍事基地，用於空襲伊朗，並在伊朗戰事初期，對差點發現該基地的伊拉克部隊發動空襲。報道並沒有說明基地的具體位置。報道指，該基地是在今年美以對伊朗採取軍事行動前不久建立的，美國對此亦知情。

格隆汇5月11日｜美国共和党参议员格雷厄姆：认为伊朗在谈判解决方案中无需彻底销毁其所有铀浓缩设施，这种说法毫无道理。所谓的暂停措施（如果不彻底拆除铀浓缩设施与相关能力）本质上就会重新变成《联合全面行动计划》（JCPOA，即“伊核协议”）。我确信伊朗拒绝摧毁其铀浓缩能力的立场将遭到坚决反对。

英国首相斯塔默将于周一发表演讲，正式开启政治反击。他在演讲中提出，重塑英国与欧洲各国的关系将成为本届政府的标志性使命，意在平息日益高涨的逼他下台的呼声。 上周工党在地方选举中遭遇惨败，加之一名前内阁大臣放话：若斯塔默不能推出大刀阔斧的改革，就将争取议员支持发起党首竞选，斯塔默的首相地位随之陷入岌岌可危的境地。 据首相办公室提前披露的演讲稿节选显示，在新一轮政府政策重整中，斯塔默将直言：渐进式改革已无济于事；想要振兴经济、重建国防军力、提升能源安全，所需改革力度远超他此前预期。 责任编辑：李桐

Nikolas Kokovlis | Nurphoto | Getty Images Cerebras Systems is set to raise the size and price of its initial public offering as soon as Monday, as demand for the artificial intelligence chipmaker's shares continues to climb, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Sunday. The company is considering a new IPO price range of $150 to $160 a share, up from $115 to $125 a share, and raising the number of shares marketed to 30 million from 28 million, said the sources, who asked not to be identified because the information isn't public yet. At the top of the new range, Cerebras would raise roughly $4.8 billion, up from $3.5 billion under its original terms, though the figures remain subject to change before pricing, the people said. The increase follows a broader surge in AI adoption that has driven sharp demand for high-performance chips and turned semiconductors into a key bottleneck in the technology supply chain. Cerebras' IPO has drawn orders for more than 20 times the number of shares available, the people said, as the chipmaker looks to manage surging interest ahead of its May 13 pricing. Cerebras did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bloomberg News previously reported that the company planned to raise the IPO price range to $125 to $135 per share. Sunnyvale, California-based Cerebras makes specialized chips for running advanced AI models in a market dominated by Nvidia . Cerebras is seeing surging demand for its processors as AI labs shift from training models to deploying them. Cerebras' chips are better suited for inference, the computations that allow AI models to respond to user queries, than the GPU chips the industry has long relied on for model training. The IPO next week would mark Cerebras' second attempt to go public — the company first filed for an IPO in 2024 but pulled that plan last year. Its partnership with G42, a UAE-based AI company that accounted for more than 80% of its revenue in the first half of 2024, had prompte...

据伊朗塔斯尼姆通讯社11日报道，一名知情人士表示，伊朗不会为了取悦美方而制定计划，只会为了维护伊朗人民的权益而制定计划。这名人士说，当美国总统特朗普不满意时，“通常反而更好”。特朗普不愿面对现实，这是他屡次败给伊朗的原因。 特朗普10日在社交媒体上发文说，他对伊朗方面的回应不满，称其“完全不可接受”。据伊朗媒体10日早些时候报道，伊朗已向巴基斯坦调解方正式提交了对美国旨在结束战争的最新方案的回应，聚焦于结束战争以及波斯湾和霍尔木兹海峡的海上安全问题。（新华社）

I don't know about you, but to me it feels as if 2026 mashed the gas pedal to the floor on Jan. 1 and hasn't let off it since. By the time I've gotten myself all caught up on the last news cycle, another thing happens that throws the markets into turbulence. That's all to say it's a frustrating time to be an investor. It seems like markets react wildly to every headline and then swing back in the opposite direction just as quickly. Investors don't like uncertainty. Geopolitical tensions are a chief cause of uncertainty and I expect current ones to linger at least through the summer. Here's a brief assessment of what's going on and what you can do to insulate your portfolio against it as much as possible. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

格隆汇5月11日｜据知情人士透露，人工智能芯片制造商Cerebras Systems最早将于周一上调其首次公开募股（IPO）的规模和价格，因对其的股票需求持续攀升。公司正考虑将IPO新价格区间定为每股150至160美元，高于此前115至125美元的区间，并将发行股数从2800万股增至3000万股。若按新区间的上限定价，Cerebras将筹集约48亿美元，高于原计划的35亿美元。知情人士称，Cerebras的IPO认购订单已超过可供股数的20倍，这家芯片制造商正试图在5月13日定价前应对激增的市场兴趣。Cerebras生产用于运行先进AI模型的专用芯片，该市场目前由英伟达主导。与业界长期依赖于模型训练的GPU芯片相比，Cerebras的芯片更适合用于推理。本周的IPO将是Cerebras的第二次上市尝试，该公司曾于2024年首次提交IPO申请，但去年撤回了该计划。

This season hasn't always been easy on the eye, but Arsenal are on the brink of their first Premier League title in 22 years.

Archer Aviation ( ACHR ) is scheduled to announce Q1 earnings results on Monday, May 11th, after market close. The consensus EPS estimate is -$0.24 and the consensus revenue estimate is $1.66M. Investors are likely to focus less on near-term financials and more on updates around aircraft production, FAA certification progress, and the company’s commercial launch timelines in the U.S. and UAE. Archer now has multiple operational pathways emerging through the FAA’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) and international partnerships, potentially reducing reliance on a single FAA certification outcome. Though aircraft availability remains a near-term challenge, the market is expected to watch management commentary on production ramp plans for 2026. Archer has previously outlined plans to scale production to roughly 50 aircraft annually. The company ended 2025 with roughly $2B in cash and has previously disclosed an order backlog exceeding $6B, alongside additional agreements such as a 100-aircraft deal with Korean Air. Shares of Archer have fallen about 21% so far this year as investors weigh ongoing cash burn and uncertainty around certification timelines against long-term growth opportunities in the emerging air taxi market.

If news regarding the current state of the Social Security trust funds makes you nervous, take heart. While the idea of reduced benefits is scary, this is not the first time the U.S. has found itself in this position. In 1983, Social Security was just three months from being unable to pay full benefits when bipartisan legislation was enacted to shore up the program. While it's clear that changes must again be enacted to avoid widespread pain, some options are easier to swallow than others. Here, I'll rate proposals currently on the table.

【有線新聞】英國首相施紀賢將發表演講，試圖平息下台呼聲。工黨議員衛倩婷稱若演說內容不能讓她滿意，會正式爭取黨友支持，發起黨魁選舉向施紀賢逼宮。 備受逼宮壓力的英國首相兼工黨黨魁施紀賢，將就經濟增長、能源、國防等方面演講，承諾重建與歐洲的關係，將英國置於歐洲中心，試圖力挽狂瀾，平息下台呼聲。今次被視為施紀賢入主唐寧街後，關乎他的政治生涯的最重要演說。 同屬工黨的議員衛倩婷要求內閣尋找取代施紀賢的人選，稱將在施紀賢演講後再決定會否發起黨魁選舉，聲稱已獲10人支持，但距離81人門檻仍很遠。衛倩婷：「我很公平，我會聽首相的演講。若未如理想，恐怕我要採取行動，向國會工黨議員發電郵爭取支持，收集所需的81個支持。」 數十個工黨議員要求施紀賢定出辭職時間表，當中主要是大曼徹斯特市長貝安德的支持者，但他們不贊成衛倩婷此時發起黨魁選舉，因為今年2月被拒參加國會補選的貝安德沒有資格角逐黨魁，只會令衛生大臣施卓添、能源大臣文立彬及前副首相韋雅蘭等潛在人選得益。施卓添的盟友指，他不會向施紀賢下戰書，但正為所有情況做準備。 韋雅蘭則在地區選舉後首次公開表態，稱受重挫的工黨需要改革，形容可能是最後機會，呼籲施紀賢順勢而為，著手處理不平等和生活水平下降等問題，降低生活成本及提高最低工資，又說阻止貝安德參加國會補選是錯誤決定。
