House Ethics Panel Finds Florida Democrat Congresswoman Committed 25 Violations Authored by Chase Smith via The Epoch Times, A bipartisan House Ethics Committee panel found on March 27 that Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) committed 25 ethics violations, a ruling that sets the stage for a sanctions hearing and a potential expulsion vote on the House floor. The adjudicatory subcommittee, composed of four Republicans and four Democrats, deliberated until well past midnight before releasing its findings Friday morning. The panel found 25 of 27 counts in the Statement of Alleged Violations proven by clear and convincing evidence. The full committee will hold a sanctions hearing shortly after the House returns from the April recess. The violations center on Cherfilus-McCormick’s alleged use of millions of dollars from her family’s health care company, Trinity Healthcare Services, to fund her 2022 congressional campaign through a network of family members and affiliated businesses. Investigators also found violations related to her reelection campaign, financial disclosure failures, and use of her congressional office to benefit allies. Thursday’s public hearing was the first open ethics proceeding against a sitting House member in nearly 15 years. The ruling could fuel a Republican-led expulsion push and further divide a Democratic Caucus trying to retake the House majority in November. Cherfilus-McCormick is running for a fourth term representing a southeastern Florida district. Expulsion from the House requires a two-thirds vote. Republicans have signaled they intend to push for it. “I look forward to proving my innocence,” the congresswoman’s office told The Epoch Times via email. “Until then, my focus remains where it belongs: showing up for the great people of Florida’s 20th District who sent me to Washington to fight for them.” The congresswoman has maintained her innocence. “This is an unjust, baseless, sham indictment—and I am innocent,” she said at the t...

onurdongel/iStock via Getty Images Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. ( PESI ), the waste management company we've been following for years, did produce disappointing Q4 results . Apart from Q1, a better FY26 lies ahead as the company's fortunes are boosted from Hanford (the biggest nuclear waste site in the U.S.), international opportunities, and its PFAS removal business. Let's start with the biggest opportunity, Hanford, where waste removal (grouting) has finally started. Hanford After years of delay, the DFLAW grouting plant finally started in October 2025 and has processed approximately 50K gallons of tank waste through February 2026. Management expects revenue of $1M to $2M per month from DFLAW-related activities starting in Q2/26, ramping up throughout the year. And there are additional opportunities ( Q4CC ): In addition to supporting DFLAW program, we expect to participate in several other Hanford related waste streams and site programs that will generate additional treatment demand over time. These increases in receipts include providing solidification, treatment support to high-volume contaminated water from the Hanford site as well as increasing our Transuranic Waste Processing program by 100% beginning this month, supported by additional shifts at the Perma-Fix Northwest facility. As waste receipts increase, we expect to utilize the expanded capacity to support a growing volume of treatment activity tied to both Hanford Mission and other DOE programs. DOE plans to use PESI’s Northwest facility to grout effluent (blowdown water) rather than vitrify it, thereby providing another 20% or so of the waste volume for treatment. The DOE has increased targets to treat up to 200M gallons of Hanford tank waste through 2040, with a supplemental grouting program set to begin in 2026. A significant long-term opportunity exists via a recent RFP to treat 22 tanks (containing up to 50M gallons) through grouting, starting in January 2028, a contract valued at approxi...

面对每天上千份上市公司公告该看哪些？重大事项公告动辄几十页几百页重点是啥？公告里一堆专业术语不知道算利好还是利空？请看财联社公司新闻部 《速读公告》 栏目，我们派驻全国的记者们将于公告当晚为您带来准确、快速、专业的解读。 财联社3月27日讯（记者 汪斌） 在全球光伏行业产能过剩、价格竞争加剧的背景下，老牌磁性材料龙头 横店东磁 （002056.SZ）2025年营收实现高速增长，但利润端承压明显。 公司今日晚间公告，去年实现营业收入225.86亿元，同比增长21.70%；归属于上市公司股东的净利润为18.51亿元，同比微增1.34%，净利润增速远低于营收增速。值得关注的是，2025年公司境外收入达113.31亿元，同比大增40.20%，占总营收比重达到50.17%。 对于业绩变动的原因，横店东磁在年报中表示，报告期内，公司加速推进国际化布局，磁材业务在AI服务器和新能源汽车的多个应用领域实现了出货的较高速增长；光伏业务在保持盈利的基础上实现了较高速的出货量增长；锂电业务保持了较好的市场拓展态势，但公司计提资产减值准备对本期业绩有一定影响。 据公告，2025年公司对资产报废处置、计提的各项资产减值准备金额合计2.99亿元，占 2025年度经审计归属于上市公司股东的净利润的比例16.14%。 近年来，横店东磁坚持“磁材+新能源”双轮驱动战略，但三大业务板块在复杂市场环境中表现分化。其中，光伏产品仍是公司第一大收入来源，去年全年实现收入143.10亿元，同比增长29.27%，占总营收比重提升至63.36%，但该业务毛利率仅为15.25%，较上年下降3.49个百分点，呈现“增收不增利”特征。 横店东磁解释称，行业“内卷”严重，呈现“量增价跌”态势，去年光伏产品出货量24.9GW，同比增长45%，但售价下行侵蚀了利润空间。公司通过差异化产品战略（如全黑、轻质、海上光伏组件）和全球产能布局，在行业下行周期中实现了市场份额和收入的提升，成为拉动公司营收增长的最主要动力。 另外，公司磁性材料业务实现收入40.04亿元，同比增长5.03%，毛利率微增0.82个百分点至28.14%；器件业务收入9.96亿元，同比快速增长29.99%。据披露，去年公司磁材出货21.8万吨，结构优化带动单吨均价和毛利双提升，铜片电感等器件出货量实现倍增。 横店东磁在年报中援引中电元协统计数据称，2025年我...

Tunyada Kongkapan | E+ | Getty Images A growing number of filers are facing tax refund delays amid a government-wide phaseout of paper checks . House Ways and Means Committee Democrats this week sent another letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, with "additional concerns" about roughly 1.4 million IRS notices sent to filers about refund delays related to paper payment requests. At the time of the lawmakers' initial letter, dated March 9, they said more than 830,000 taxpayers had received such notices. The IRS notice, known as CP53E , asks taxpayers for updated banking information to receive refund payments via direct deposit. Recipients have 30 days to provide these details via an IRS online account , or the agency will issue a paper refund after six weeks. "This matter is time sensitive and urgent as individuals and families facing delays need their tax refunds to offset the high cost of gas, food and basic necessities," the lawmakers wrote. The refund payment change stems from an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in March 2025, which requires government agencies to shift from paper to electronic payments. The IRS in September announced the transition to paper payments to protect taxpayers, speed up refunds and reduce costs. The Treasury did not respond to CNBC's request for comment about the letter from House Ways and Means Committee Democrats.
