/1🚨BREAKING — We just sued Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden DOJ for failing to require Hunter Biden to register as a foreign agent while Joe Biden was Vice President.

We have the receipts. Let’s break it down in a thread⤵️ Image
/2 In March, AFL obtained emails from litigation against the National Archives and Records Administration confirming that Hunter directly represented Burisma in its dealings with the Obama White House.
/3 Hunter was both a board member of Burisma, a “foreign principal” under 22 U.S.C. § 611(b), and an attorney at the law firm representing it.
/4 Hunter Biden was arguably Burisma’s agent and subject to FARA registration because he was an officer of Burisma and appears to have represented Burisma’s interests to the Office of the Vice President. Image
/5 An “agent of a foreign principal” under FARA includes: https://t.co/40kNdsfhInjustice.gov/nsd-fara/fara-…
Image
/6 Attorney General Garland failed to require proper registration or otherwise follow legal procedures concerning a FARA waiver for Hunter.
/7 Following this damning revelation, AFL filed a formal complaint with the DOJ against Hunter Biden for failing to register under FARA.

/8 Federal law makes clear that no person shall act as an agent of a foreign principal unless he has filed with the Attorney General a true and complete registration statement and files applicable supplements – none of which occurred during the Obama administration. Image
/9 More recently, the National Archives released an email showing that Hunter Biden was involved in a phone call between Vice President Biden and then-Ukrainian President Poroshenko. Image
/10 On July 10, 2023, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York unsealed an indictment against Gal Luft for willfully failing to register under the FARA by engaging in political activities in the United States on behalf of CEFC and Ye Jianming, a Chinese national.
Image
Image
/11 However, Hunter Biden’s lucrative business arrangements with CEFC and Ye Jianming have been well known for years.
/12 @SenateHomeland and the @SenateFinance released joint investigative reports on September 23, 2020, and November 18, 2020, detailing the complex web of relationships and financial arrangements between the Biden family and their business associates with CEFC and Ye Jianming.
Image
Image
/13 On July 30, 2017, the @WaysandMeansGOP obtained WhatsApp messages where Hunter wrote to CEFC officials that he was “sitting here with my father” and threatened them. Full message below:
/14 Once again, the Biden family appears to have used their name for influence peddling overseas.

The DOJ has failed to follow official legal procedures and require Hunter to either register as a foreign agent or obtain a waiver. A
/15 AFL will continue to hold Hunter Biden and the DOJ accountable for circumventing the law and conducting foreign affairs illegally while Joe Biden was Vice President. aflegal.org/america-first-…

/1🏛️📄 NEW SCOTUS BRIEF —

AFL filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Chairman @Jim_Jordan and 17 members of @JudiciaryGOP.

The brief urges SCOTUS to RESTORE the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment and its limits on U.S. citizenship. Image
/2 The Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship only to those born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction — meaning total, exclusive allegiance and lawful presence.

Simply living within our borders is not enough.
/3 Allegiance isn’t geography — it’s a bond.

It requires loyalty from the individual and consent from the nation.

When that consent is broken, citizenship cannot be claimed.

/1🚨BOMBSHELL🚨

AFL has uncovered that MULTIPLE states suing President Trump over his Executive Order on birthright citizenship appear to have NO EVIDENCE to support their claims.
/2 On January 21, 2025, the states of Washington, Oregon, Illinois, and Arizona sued the Trump Administration over Executive Order 14160, which ends birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens.

The states allege the order will cost them money in programs like Medicaid, CHIP, and adoption assistance.
/3 There’s just one problem.

When AFL filed public records requests seeking clarity from these states on their claims — to show ANY DATA linking the order to actual costs — they came up empty-handed.

/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
