/1🔎THREAD: Today, we sued the FBI and DOJ for illegally concealing federal records related to Biden government-sponsored censorship of the American people in advance of the 2022 midterm elections.

Follow along ⤵️
/2 On December 16, 2022, @mtaibbi revealed in The Twitter Files, Part Six that two days before the November 2022 election, the FBI National Election Command Post (NECP) sent an email to Elvis Chan in the FBI San Francisco Field Office, flagging twenty-five accounts as election “misinformation,” including @RSBNetwork, the official Twitter account for Right Side Broadcasting Network.
/3 The NECP requested the FBI San Francisco Field Office to coordinate with Twitter to take “action” on the accounts, preserve subscriber information, and gather location information.
/4 Discovery in the Missouri v. Biden litigation revealed that leading up to election day, the FBI maintained an around-the-clock command center to ferret “disinformation” and “misinformation” and told social media platforms to have people available at all times to act and censor.
/5 During Mr. Chan’s deposition, he admitted that the FBI shared information that it believed should be censored, and the predictable effect was that social media platforms would do so.
/6 On December 29, 2022, AFL submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the FBI, with specific search terms, seeking “All records of communications to or from the National Election Command Post (NECP) referencing the Twitter accounts that were flagged for ‘additional action due to the accounts being utilized to spread misinformation.’”
/7 On February 14, 2023, the FBI denied AFL’s request as “overly broad.”

AFL appealed and on August 23, 2023, the DOJ affirmed the FBI’s denial.
/8 Today, AFL is suing the FBI and the DOJ for illegally concealing these records and to uncover how the FBI uses “disinformation” and “misinformation” as an excuse to interfere in our elections.
/9 America First Legal will continue fighting to expose the truth about how Biden’s government is actively working to undermine the First Amendment and prevent free and fair elections. aflegal.org/america-first-…

Judge John McConnell just issued a sweeping ruling blocking Trump’s immigration and asylum policies.

This is the same judge AFL exposed for failing to recuse from the Trump spending freeze case — despite previously leading a nonprofit that received $128M in federal funding.

🧵 Image
Judge McConnell served 18 years on the board of Crossroads Rhode Island.

His nonprofit received $128 million in government funding during that time.
Last year, Judge McConnell blocked President Trump’s spending freeze.

His nonprofit stood to receive millions more following his ruling to keep federal funds flowing through one of the plaintiff states.

DEI DEFEATED🚨

AFL challenged a Biden-era DEI framework embedded in a federal kidney transplant program. 

The Trump Administration just dismantled it.

No American should ever be denied a transplant because of their race. Image
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services just published a final rule stripping the Biden Administration’s DEI framework from the Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model.

One of the most aggressive attempts to inject race into organ transplantation is gone. Image
The IOTA Model was part of Biden’s “sweeping equity agenda” to confront the “unbearable human costs of systemic racism.”

It directed hospitals to create “Health Equity Plans” that sorted patients by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status and implemented race-based interventions to alter transplant outcomes.

In a system where every organ can mean life or death, Biden’s answer was DEI.Image

🚨MARICOPA COUNTY ALERT —

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors appears to be attempting to undermine a court order, usurp Recorder Justin Heap’s authority, and keep voters in the dark about a faster way to vote.

AFL’s letter exposes what’s happening.

And it’s explosive. Image
The Board’s Elections Director, Scott Jarrett, has been going around Recorder Heap — cornering individual Recorder staff one-on-one and trying to lock in deals the recorder never authorized.

That’s not “good faith.”

That’s staff-shopping — and a deliberate attempt to manufacture facts on the ground and usurp authority the Superior Court just ruled belongs to the Recorder.Image
Recorder Heap has been crystal clear.

All binding agreements on election administration must go through him or his lawyer.

No more backdoor power grabs.

Everything goes through official channels.

AFL is calling on the FCC to press for TV ratings reform and require content warnings for gender identity and LGBTQ+ themes in children’s TV programs.

Parents deserve to know what their kids are watching.

The current system HIDES this information.

Here’s what we found.

🧵 Image
/2 AFL’s comment asks the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to press the TV Parental Guidelines Oversight Monitoring Board (TVOMB) to add content to warnings for any children’s TV programs with gender identity, same-sex relationships, or LGBTQ+ themes.
/3 The TV ratings system is BROKEN.

Shows rated TV-Y — designed for children ages 2 to 6 — are pushing transgender ideology and gender confusion with ZERO disclosure to parents.

No warnings. No descriptors. Nothing.

Parents are left completely in the dark.

🚨NEW — The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is attempting an ILLEGAL POWER GRAB over early voting.

They advanced a resolution this week to SET UP early voting drop boxes.

But Arizona law gives that power ONLY to the County Recorder.

They’ve been warned. Image
Arizona law is crystal clear.

A.R.S. § 16-542(A):

“The county recorder may establish… early voting locations… the recorder deems necessary.”

ONLY the recorder. NOT the board.

Early ballots must be “delivered or mailed to the county recorder.”

Drop boxes run by the board during early voting are NOT legal. Period.Image
Setting up unauthorized drop boxes is a class 5 felony under A.R.S. § 16-1005(E).

Collecting early ballots without the Recorder’s authority is a class 6 felony under A.R.S. § 16-1005(H). Image
