/3 CDC’s Vaccine Confidence Strategist then emailed the event planner for Google’s APAC Trusted Media Summit, noting her excitement over being invited to what she referred to as “the coolest misinformation fighting speakeasy.” Image

/1🚨LANDMARK LAWSUIT🚨

AFL is fighting for a fair and lawful Census — alleging that the 2020 Census used FLAWED statistical methods that FABRICATED population counts and STOLE representation from the American people. Image
/2 The U.S. Constitution requires an actual count of every person every ten years.

Federal law explicitly prohibits the use of “statistical sampling” or other methods that risk inaccurate results.

No models.

No estimates.

No statistical tricks.Image
/3 In 2020, the Census Bureau ignored this mandate.

Instead of counting real people at their real addresses, it used two deeply flawed and unlawful methods:

📊 “Group Quarters Imputation”

💻 “Differential Privacy”

NEW 🚨: America First Legal has re-filed its case against Fairfax County Public Schools in federal court.

This case is about restoring sanity, protecting free speech, and keeping MEN out of GIRLS’ spaces.
/2 At threat of punishment, Fairfax County forced then-student Jane Doe to forego her religious beliefs and use her peers’ preferred pronouns.

🚫 Compelled speech. ❌ Forced ideology. ⛔️ Violation of her First Amendment rights.
/3 At the same time, FCPS trampled her right to privacy.

They allowed a male student to use the girls’ restroom because he “felt unsafe” in the boys’ room.

But when Jane said she felt unsafe, she was told: Deal with it, or find a private bathroom.

🚨BREAKING — AFL has obtained thousands of pages of records exposing Biden DOJ’s SHOCKING partnership and coordination with the radical SPLC to WEAPONIZE civil rights enforcement.

No daylight between DOJ and SPLC.

Here’s round #1👇 Image
/2 Explosive documents, obtained via FOIA, reveal Biden’s DOJ gave SPLC UNPRECEDENTED access to influence federal civil rights enforcement.

They weren’t just at the table — they were helping RUN THE SHOW.

Quarterly meetings, coffee and danish meetups, training DOJ prosecutors… Image
/3 SPLC, known for smearing groups like Moms for Liberty and Turning Point USA as “hate groups” alongside the KKK, got early access to FBI hate-crime data, drafted DOJ talking points, and even TRAINED federal prosecutors. Image

🚨EXPOSED — Biden’s HHS funneled millions to Washington University in St. Louis to embed “diversity, equity, and inclusion” into medicine and clinical research.

Yes, your tax dollars are bankrolling racial discrimination and ideological experiments.

Here’s the proof…🧵 Image
/2 Biden’s HHS gave WashU $5 million to run a nationwide “Neurosurgeon Research Career Development Program” to “promote and foster diversity, equity, and inclusion at every level.”

It mandates DEI, builds a “pipeline program” to recruit based on identity, and embeds “diversity” into selection, mentoring, and leadership.

This is taxpayer-funded discrimination — reorienting the medical workforce around ideology instead of merit.Image
/3 Biden’s HHS gave WashU $3.4 million to “increase diversity, equity, and inclusion” in Alzheimer’s research through 2026.

The project builds a “culturally appropriate” registry led by “diverse researchers” to recruit participants by race, and frames disparities as products of “systemic and systematic racism,” “ethnoracial factors,” and “classism.”

Our tax dollars should fund treatments — not racial ideology in medical research.Image

🏛️⚖️ NEW — The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has AFFIRMED the President’s Article II authority to remove appointed officials.

AFL filed an amicus brief in this case defending that presidential power. Image

Soskin was removed by President Trump — yet defended presidential removal power even in his own case.
/3 Eric Soskin is a longtime practicing constitutional lawyer with decades of experience in public service, including in the U.S. Department of Justice and as Inspector General of the Department of Transportation.

🏛️📄NEW SCOTUS BRIEF —

AFL filed an amicus brief on behalf of six U.S. Senators led by @SenMikeLee urging the U.S. Supreme Court to rein in the Fifth Circuit’s blatant defiance of federal law and defend federal employees and contractors from hostile state lawsuits. Image
/2 This case, Chevron v. Plaquemines Parish, deals with whether federal employees and contractors can transfer court cases into federal court when the underlying facts relate to their federal responsibilities.
/3 It’s simple: to keep America safe, federal officers must know they won’t be dragged into hostile state courts for carrying out their federal duties.

Because federal law enforcement often relies on private partners, contractors must also have this protection.
