/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.

🚨BREAKING — AFL is taking Alvin Bragg back to court.

We just filed a new petition in the New York Supreme Court to EXPOSE his politically motivated prosecution of President Trump.

🧵👇 Image
/2 Last year, AFL filed a lawsuit against District Attorney Alvin Bragg over records requested from his office related to the prosecution of President Trump.

Bragg’s office has refused to provide the records and issued sweeping exemptions to keep the truth hidden.
/3 AFL requested the following records from Bragg’s office:

📄 Communications with the Biden-Harris campaign, the DNC, Color of Change, and CREW

📄 Documents and communications about fundraising tied to President Trump’s prosecution

📄 Documents and communications related to Alvin Bragg’s campaign and fundraising

📄 Communications with Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter and her political firm

🚨BREAKING — AFL just sued the FDA for allegedly COVERING UP Biden-era records on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children.

The FDA KNEW these drugs increase depression and suicide risks — and STILL pushed them on kids.

It’s been a year.

Parents deserve answers. Image
/2 On August 5, 2024, AFL filed a FOIA request for FDA records on off-label use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children.

The FDA acknowledged receipt and promised action.

Then, it went silent.
/3 The law gives agencies 20 days — plus an additional 10 days, if needed — to respond.

389 days later: no records, no answers, no transparency.

This isn’t bureaucratic delay — it’s lawlessness.

🚨BREAKING — AFL has filed a federal lawsuit against Shell USA, Inc. for allegedly orchestrating a racially discriminatory reorganization targeting white employees.

This is a major fight against DEI mandates gone wrong. Image
/2 The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, claims Shell’s radical diversity, equity, and inclusion policies violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Experienced security professionals with top credentials were pushed out to meet “diversity” quotas.
/3 AFL’s clients — loyal, high-performing employees — were forced to reapply for their own jobs, undergo in-person assessments, and compete against less qualified candidates just to “diversify” the workforce.

This isn’t fairness — it’s discrimination.

⚖️ JUSTICE WINS!

A New York appellate court threw out the $500M fine in Letitia James’s politically motivated civil fraud case against President Trump.

The court found it excessive and a violation of the Eighth Amendment.

AFL’s amicus brief was cited in the dissent. Image
/2 AFL, in partnership with Murray-Nolan Berutti LLC, filed an appellate amicus brief on behalf of the Job Creators Network Foundation.
/3 Our brief argued that the entire case against President Trump should be dismissed, warning that James’s lawsuit was wholly political, undermined the rule of law, and served as yet another example of weaponized lawfare against President Trump.

🚨🗳️ LITIGATION ALERT — AFL has filed two bombshell motions exposing Maricopa County’s shocking assault on election integrity.

Local officials are SABOTAGING Recorder Heap for protecting Arizona elections.

This is a direct attack on voters — and it threatens future elections. Image
/2 On June 12, 2025, AFL filed a lawsuit against Maricopa County to stop its illegal election power grab.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is actively weaponizing power to undermine Recorder @azjustinheap and hijack his election integrity efforts.
@azjustinheap /3 Shortly before Recorder Heap took office, the Board:

➡️ Seized control of the Recorder’s servers, databases, and websites

➡️ Removed nearly all his election IT staff

🚨🗳️ BREAKING — The U.S. Election Assistance Commission just opened a public comment period on AFL’s petition to REQUIRE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP to vote.

Help us STOP noncitizen voting and secure OUR elections!

Submit your comment by October 20 ⬇️

🔗 regulations.gov/commenton/EAC-…Image
/2 The federal voter registration form currently relies on an “honor system.” 

People just check a box saying they’re a citizen. 

No proof required.

No verification required.

This is a LOOPHOLE that undermines trust in our elections.
/3 AFL’s petition calls for Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC).

Voting is a sacred right for American citizens ONLY.

Requiring DPOC ensures fairness, uniformity, and integrity.

This is common sense!
