/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-…

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL has filed a formal complaint urging the U.S. Department of Education to investigate Upper Arlington School District in Ohio for willfully implementing illegal DEI policies. Image

➡️ Establishing a “Chief Talent Officer” to “foster workforce diversity”

➡️ Forming an “Equity Advisory Board” to provide “insight and feedback on the recruitment of a diverse staff”

➡️ Creating a “Chief Excellence and Engagement Officer” position to “spearhead DEI efforts”Image
/3 In July 2023, Upper Arlington Schools Superintendent Dr. Robert Hunt launched “UAdventure,” a DEI program calling for a “clear vision for DEI initiatives [and] advocacy for LGBTQIA+ students” — containing facially illegal programs and practices. Image

“A pro-Trump legal group founded by White House aide Stephen Miller is suing Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts…

The lawsuit was filed by America First Legal.” Image
“The complaint accuses both the U.S. Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts of performing certain regulatory actions that go beyond the scope of resolving cases or controversies, or administratively supporting those actions, which they argue are the ‘core functions’ of the judiciary.”Image
“It also argues that records held by the Roberts-led U.S. Judicial Conference should therefore be subject to the Freedom of Information Act requests, or FOIA requests, as a result.” Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL filed a federal civil rights complaint with HHS calling for an investigation into Henry Ford Health for illegal race and sex-based discrimination throughout its entire system — in patient care, hiring, education, and research — all funded by American taxpayers. Image
/2 AFL recently exposed Harvard’s use of federal dollars to push DEI ideology in healthcare.

Henry Ford Health (HFH) has engaged in similar discriminatory behavior on American taxpayers’ dime.

At HFH, DEI isn’t in the margins — it’s central to how the entire system operates…
/3 Since 2021, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded nearly $1 BILLION in taxpayer funds to Henry Ford Health for programs that embed race and sex preferences into nearly every aspect of medical care — affecting who gets an organ transplant, which doctors get hired, and how residents are trained.

This is identity politics with a federal stamp of approval and possible life-or-death consequences.

/2 AFL’s lawsuit arises from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for communications between the Judicial Conference, the Administrative Office, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, and Representative Hank Johnson regarding Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
/3 Both the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office denied AFL’s FOIA requests, claiming they “are not subject to FOIA” because they are protected by FOIA’s carve-out for “courts of the United States.”
