/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🏛️NEW SCOTUS BRIEF —

AFL is urging the Supreme Court to review the lower courts’ deeply flawed rulings in E. Jean Carroll’s biased lawsuit — and correct the egregious injustice inflicted on President Trump.

Every litigant deserves impartial justice. Image
/2 AFL’s brief explains that the courts admitted unreliable, prejudicial evidence that would usually be excluded — while blocking key rebuttal evidence that the jury should have been allowed to hear.
/3 From day one, the district court manipulated established evidentiary rules, allowing stale, unverified accusations while suppressing facts that contradicted the narrative. 

The result?

A verdict that defies basic logic.

/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. Image
/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.”Image

/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. Image
/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.
