/1 We sent a FOIA to the National Archives for records related to Obama Foundation’s possession of presidential records & an apparent $3.3M dollar transfer from the Obama Foundation to NARA to move the records from the Foundation’s private facility to a NARA-controlled facility.
/2 On September 21, 2018, more than a year after former President Barack Obama left the White House, NARA and the Obama Foundation entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) to allow the Obama Foundation to maintain possession of presidential records for the purpose of digitizing them… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
/3 According to the LOI, the Obama Foundation had kept presidential records—including classified records—at a private facility in Hoffman Estates, IL, but NARA would eventually move the records to NARA-controlled facilities, “that conform with the agency’s archival storage… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
/4 On February 15, 2019, NARA and the Obama Foundation entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) further detailing their roles and responsibilities to complete the Digitization Project.
/5 However, it’s unclear whether the Obama Foundation’s private facility had also conformed with NARA’s “archival storage standards.”
Instead, it’s likely that the Obama Foundation had illegally stored classified Presidential records in its private facility in Hoffman Estates,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
/6 Furthermore, the Obama Foundation provided NARA with $3,300,000 as part of this deal. For one, the Antideficiency Act prohibits federal agencies from expending federal funds in advance or in excess of an appropriation.
/1🚨LITIGATION UPDATE — AFL just filed a major motion for summary judgment in our landmark lawsuit challenging the 2020 Census and demanding accurate congressional representation for all Americans.
/2 Earlier this week, AFL added Rep. @ByronDonalds as a plaintiff in our lawsuit — expanding our coalition demanding election integrity and accountability.
/3 Today’s motion marks a critical next step toward ensuring equal representation under the law, urging the court to grant judgment in favor of our clients.
/1🚨BREAKING — Rep. @ByronDonalds is now a plaintiff in AFL’s landmark lawsuit challenging the 2020 Census.
The Census SKEWED population counts and STOLE representation.
Every American deserves to be counted AND represented.
/2 AFL, in partnership with Weber, Crabb & Wein, P.A., has filed an amended complaint adding Representative Donalds to our lawsuit to hold the U.S. Census Bureau accountable and protect states from losing representation through unlawful statistical methods.
/3 In addition, AFL has filed a response opposing a motion to intervene by parties represented by the @EliasLawGroup, further underscoring the stakes of this fight.
/1🚨 BREAKING: AFL has filed federal civil rights complaints against THREE Virginia localities for race-based discrimination.
AFL is requesting @CivilRights investigate:
-City of Alexandria
-City of Richmond
-Arlington County
/2 Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits race-based discrimination by entities receiving federal funding.
Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment.
These jurisdictions appear to be violating both.
/3 AFL’s complaint highlights how the City of Alexandra passed a resolution, which Alexandria’s Office of Race and Social Equity (RASE) describes as motivating the city’s commitment to “embedding racial and social equity into all city policies, programs, decisions, and environments.”
/1🚨BREAKING—AFL has filed a complaint with the Dept. of Education, urging an immediate investigation into Illinois’ new law forcing annual mental health screenings on children without parental consent—a clear violation of federal law and shocking expansion of state power.
/2 Illinois’ Public Act 104-0032 orders schools to screen kids in grades 3–12 for mental health issues at least once a year, starting in 2027.
No consent. No parental notice. Just the State interrogating children about their private emotions, family life, and home environment—and recording their answers in a government database.
/3 Under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, schools must obtain affirmative written parental consent before subjecting any child to any “survey, analysis, or evaluation” about their mental health or psychological condition.
Illinois’ new law ignores that requirement entirely.
/1🚨PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN — America First Legal just released a template letter that parents can use to opt out of radical classroom instruction and woke school policies.
/2 AFL’s letter enables parents to exercise their rights after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor.
The Court held that a school district violated parents’ rights by failing to provide notice and an opportunity to opt out before exposing children to radical LGBTQ storybooks.
/3 AFL’s letter also helps parents exercise their rights under the PPRA — a federal law that requires schools to give parents notice and an opportunity to inspect classroom materials.
/1🔎NEW — AFL has expanded its investigation into the City of Portland and the Portland Police Bureau.
We’re examining the bureau’s involvement with anti-ICE groups and Antifa — and whether it let radical demonstrators disrupt ICE operations, assault reporters, or shield Antifa.
/2 AFL has requested records to uncover how Portland officials may have enabled lawlessness — including by assisting anti-ICE groups in acquiring office space.
/3 This expands AFL’s ongoing investigation into the City of Portland, which previously uncovered its explicit inclusion of race as a central component of the city’s policing practices to achieve “equitable outcomes.”
