/1🚨EXCLUSIVE: New internal docs obtained through our lawsuit against HHS show that the Biden Admin met with radical trans organizations to discuss how to evade state bans on child castration and sexual mutilation.

Thread with all the details below… Image
/2 These emails reveal that the Biden Administration has taken behind-the-scenes meetings with “gender affirming care providers” in states that have banned these experimental medical practices and have promised to leverage the power of the federal government to stop states from enacting these important health measures.
/3 As background, in March of 2023, HHS Assistant Secretary Levine stated that socially and medically transitioning children to a “different sex” had support “at the highest levels of the federal government,” including President Biden, and that anyone that dared to question the wisdom or safety of such experiments on children was “ideologically and politically motivated.”

These new records provide greater detail on precisely how the federal government is advancing this agenda behind closed doors with advocates…
/4 On June 3, 2022, Assistant Secretary Levine received an email from Ingrid Ulrey, the HHS Regional Director, about a meeting that took place between Ulrey and “gender affirming care providers in Idaho,” regarding proposed legislation (that was passed a year later), which would prevent doctors from prescribing minors with radical chemical castration drugs or performing genital mutilation surgeries in the State of Idaho.
/5 In the email, Ulrey tells Levine that her “heart goes out to our LGBTQ brothers and sisters in Idaho and their health care providers,” presumably because of the Idaho law that would have prevented genital mutilation and chemical castration of minors. She added that it was “rough for [the LQBTQ community] and many fear for their safety” — again, in the context of the discussion of a bill that prevents genital mutilation and chemical castration of children.Image
Image
/6 Ulrey’s memo described her view of the potential effect of the passage of such a law on the provision of so-called “Gender Affirming Care” (GAC) in Idaho: Image
/7 Ulrey explained, in her view, the problems associated with a perceived shortage of doctors who would provide these mutilating services, as well as the high costs for such services if they are not subsidized by insurance. She explained that only “one provider is providing GAC to [a] large state prison population.”

She notably mentions that “there are a small number of other providers, some also wanted to come to this meeting but felt too intimidated, want to remain below the radar.”Image
/8 The “gender-affirming care providers,” seem to have provided Ulrey with exact definitions of “gender-affirming care” and disturbingly include “Legal - Remove barriers. Parental consent is currently required from 1 parent, or 2 parents if divorced.” Image
/9 Put differently, a high-ranking official in HHS, after meeting with these advocates, sent forward a definition of “gender affirming care” that includes the removal of parental consent as though it was a condition of achieving “gender affirming care.”
/10 The readout included recommendations from the meeting and includes “asks to HHS,” where it calls for federal cover to essentially evade state-passed legislation: “Idaho GAC providers need support, state regulations are tightening, we need federal cover.” Image
/11 It also asks if the federal government can use Medicaid to “require all states to cover any evidence-based care? Require GAC as a condition of participation?”
/12 It also asks “If a state bans GAC, would it be permissible in any type of prison setting?,” indicating these individuals will do anything they can to advance “gender affirming care,” even in American prisons. Image
/13 Ulrey continues with “Testimony from providers,” including testimony from a “gender affirming care provider” named Chelsea complaining that “Parents rights are also subject based. They want barriers to disallow kids from doing things they don’t believe in and freedom for kids to [do] things that they do.”Image
/14 On June 5, 2022, Assistant Secretary “Rachel” Levine replied to Urley, sharing “heartfelt concern for our LGBTI+ community in Idaho,” and stated, “We are continuing to push this issue nationally and will keep you up to date with our plans.” Image
/15 Ulrey then responded on June 12, 2022, in an email to Assistant Secretary Levine and “Team OASH” with a similar read-out but from the “Alaska LGBTQ+ Listening Session.” Image
/16 In the email, Ulrey explains that the Providence Health System in Anchorage, Alaska is “working on placing mental health counselors in schools and that they are concerned about opposition from parents rights advocates.” Image
/17 In Ulrey’s read-out, she includes a section noting that “Identity, Inc.,” a small “gender affirming care” clinic “respects pro-nouns, name changes,” and provides “gender affirming care - social/emotional and hormone treatments. People go to Canada or lower 48 for anything surgical. Planned Parenthood clinics also provide GAC including hormones. No other known / official access for GAC in AK.”Image
/18 Ulrey then outlines a section she calls “civil rights / data'' where she flags for Assistant Secretary Levine that Matsu Valley in Anchorage is likely to adopt an “anti-trans bill to ban trans girls from competing in school sports.” Image
/19 Assistant Secretary Levine replied on June 13, 2022, stating that “It is very interesting and valuable” information. Image
/20 These emails reveal the extent to which advocates are turning to the Biden Administration for support to promote their gender lunacy, despite state legislation to protect children from these dangerous medical experiments.
/21 Gender Marxists throughout Biden’s government continue to push for harmful drugs like puberty blocks and cross-sex hormones that threaten the fertility of our nation’s youth. aflegal.org/afl-lawsuit-re…

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a judicial complaint against Judge John McConnell, the federal judge blocking President Trump’s spending freeze.

He led a nonprofit set to gain millions from his ruling — a blatant conflict of interest and ethics violation.

He must be investigated. Image
/2 This complaint follows AFL’s explosive discovery that Judge McConnell continued to preside over a case despite a clear conflict of interest.

Now, AFL’s investigation has uncovered even more deeply concerning details…
/3 Judge McConnell is presiding over New York v. Trump, a lawsuit brought by 21 states and D.C. challenging President Trump’s temporary freeze on federal funding.

In February, he ordered taxpayer money to continue flowing to the states, including to Crossroads Rhode Island, where he served as a board member and board chairman over a span of nearly 20 years.Image

➡️ Creating a “Chief Excellence and Engagement Officer” position to “spearhead DEI efforts”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.
