/1🚨VICTORY🚨

The Biden Admin will dissolve & disband its unlawful DHS Intelligence Experts Group stacked with deep state partisans like James Clapper and John Brennan following our lawsuit with @RichardGrenell

They are also turning over their internal docs to our possession: Image
/2 DHS formed this so-called “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group” in September 2023, in its own words, “to provide advice and perspectives on intelligence and national security efforts.” Image
/3 However, it was not actually intended to provide unbiased, expert advice to advance the Department of Homeland Security’s mission; instead, it was a completely partisan group designed to provide top cover for the Department’s radical agenda under the leadership of Secretary Mayorkas…
/4 Members of this radical committee include:

🚨John Brennan and James Clapper are two of the leaders in the “Letter of 51” who used their “intelligence credentials” to mislead the American public on the veracity of the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election. They stated that it had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” despite the FBI having validated its authenticity the prior year.Image
/5 🚨Francis Taylor, a former Obama Official who has made at least 650 political contributions, totaling over $32,000, all of which have gone to the Democrat Party or Democrat candidates for office.
/6 🚨Asha George, Rajesh De, Caryn Wagner, and Elisa Massimino, who have made a combined 179 political contributions totaling $60,000 given exclusively to Democrat candidates for political office.
/7 In fact, of the combined political contributions of those named to the group, over 98% went to Democrats. Just 1% went to Republican candidates for office.
/8 Immediately after DHS formed the Group in September 2023, @SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD sent a letter to Secretary Mayorkas demanding “DHS immediately rescind the appointments of these known purveyors of disinformation to the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group.”Image
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD /9 @SenHawleyPress also sent a letter demanding Secretary Mayorkas terminate the group “led by at least three individuals who helped suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story preceding the 2020 U.S. presidential election.”
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress /10 In the House of Representatives, @RepPfluger introduced H.R. 5729 to prohibit the use of federal funds in the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group or any other group established to carry out equivalent activities.
Image
Image
@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress @RepPfluger /11 This bill followed a letter sent by @RepMarkGreen @RepPfluger in their capacities as Chairmen of the House Committee on Homeland Security @HomelandGOP and the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, respectively.

@SenRandPaul @SenRickScott @SenRonJohnson @RogerMarshallMD @SenHawleyPress @RepPfluger @RepMarkGreen @HomelandGOP /12 In November 2023, representing former Ambassador and Acting Director of National Intelligence @RichardGrenell and itself, AFL — in partnership with co-counsel Christopher Mills — sued DHS and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
/13 AFL alleged that the group comprised of partisan actors violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act for various reasons — including its lack of balance, the Biden Administration’s inappropriate influence over it, and its lack of public notice and participation, among other things.
/14 In avoiding further litigation in this case, DHS agreed to:

1️⃣Disband the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group”
2️⃣Provide AFL with access to its records

Accordingly, DHS and AFL agreed to dismiss the case. Image
/15 This is the second illegal FACA that the Biden Administration has agreed to disband following a lawsuit filed by AFL...

Keep reading.
/16 In December 2022, the Department of Education disbanded its illegal Parents Council following legal action brought by AFL on behalf of its clients, Parents Defending Education and Fight for Schools and Families.

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
