A viral video was demoted 50% pending a 7-day fact checking period. That demotion continued by Facebook even though no “fact checking” actually occurred. Follow 🧵 for more coercive and collusive efforts by the @WhiteHouse to pressure @facebook to censor @TuckerCarlson!
On 4/14/21, the White House emailed Facebook to lament that a #TuckerCarlson video criticizing the #COVID vaccine was the most watched video on the platform. Facebook replied they would look into it.
Later, #Facebook informed the #WhiteHouse that Tucker Carlson’s video did not qualify for removal; but the video was labeled with a pointer to “authoritative” (White House approved) information, the video was not “recommended” to others, and it was demoted on Facebook.
Facebook promised their team was working hard to get data White House had requested, including most viewed and ranked content on platform. They also asked for “guidance” on what affirmative messages on vaccination FB should amplify, given the news of J&J vaccine blood clot report
The White House then demanded to know why the Tucker Carlson video did not violate Facebook policy and was not removed. A follow-up email by the White House condescendingly reiterates that their demand for answers was not rhetorical.
The White House concluded its demand with a thinly veiled threat to Facebook: “Not for nothing but the last time we did this dance, it ended in an insurrection.”
Facebook responded obediently that their team was “heads down” working to get the White House reports it had demanded and would respond to the questions later.
After a phone call between the two parties discussing the #Tucker Carlson video, Facebook dutifully reported by email to the White House that the video received 50% demotion pending a 7-day fact checking period.
Facebook continued to demote the Tucker Carlson video even though no fact checking actually occurred.

I'm pleased to announce that 17 school boards across Louisiana have officially joined our Title IX lawsuit as plaintiffs to defend the rights of women and girls.

We have received tremendous support from school leaders & parents all across this State. They want us to get back to teaching our children how to properly read & write, & to not abide by this reckless mandate.

It ignores significant safety concerns for young women students in pre-schools, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities across Louisiana and the entire country.

BREAKING NEWS: Ruling in our favor, the federal judge has granted a motion to amend the complaint to add class action allegations in Missouri & Louisiana v. Biden et al.
We are one step closer to enabling Americans censored by the federal government, in collusion with Big Tech, to become plaintiffs in our landmark lawsuit.
Today’s court action will help plaintiffs represent all Americans who were harmed by this censorship enterprise.

Joe Biden is targeting retirement benefits to pursue radical #ESG agenda. I'm fighting back in a lawsuit with @UtahAG and @TXAG!
Biden's @USDOL rule would undermine key protections for retirement savings of 158 million American workers. It would allow 401(k) managers to direct their clients’ money to ESG investments - running contrary to the laws outlined in ERISA.
Investments should be made using sound economic principles, not woke policies. These firms have a responsibility to invest with their clients’ best financial interests in mind, rather than Biden’s disastrous agenda. #lagov

On Monday, I called on the CEO of @netflix to remove “Cuties” from his service due to the great harm it causes to kids in Louisiana and beyond.
This “film” whets the appetites of those who wish to harm our children in the most unimaginable ways – criminals my office spends countless hours finding, apprehending, and prosecuting.
By airing “Cuties” on such a large platform – Netflix is effectively normalizing horrific crimes on our most vulnerable and further emboldening manufacturers, possessors, and distributors of child pornography. They should #TakeItDown immediately!
