/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.

🚨EXPOSED — The NIH ended 4,400 Biden-era grants that injected race, gender ideology, and activism into taxpayer-funded science.

Now the Left is SUING to bring them back — calling it “discrimination” to end them.

Part 2 of “woke grants you didn’t know you were funding”…🧵 Image
/2 The Left is fighting to reinstate a $17.1 million NIH grant to Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine to implement illegal, race-based discrimination in academic medicine.

The school admits to embedding “inclusive excellence” (a euphemism for DEI) throughout its institutions — with a task force to “address racism,” recruitment pipelines for Black and Latino faculty, mandatory “bias training,” an Office for Gender Equity, an Institute for Health Equity Research, and a Center for Scientific Diversity.

There’s nothing “inclusive” about forcing Americans to fund discrimination that excludes certain racial groups.Image
/3 Biden’s HHS gave $24 million to Northwestern University for an HIV study on “young men who have sex with men” in Chicago — tracking sexual behavior, drug use, and “minority stressors.”

Launched in 2014 under Obama.
Renewed under Biden.
Terminated under President Trump.

Now the Left is suing to bring back the NIH’s version of California’s “train to nowhere.”Image

/1🚨CRACKER BARREL SERVING UP ILLEGAL DISCRIMINATION —

AFL just filed civil rights complaints calling for federal and state investigations into Cracker Barrel for unlawful discrimination based on race and sex in hiring and employment. Image
/2 Cracker Barrel rebranded its DEI website from “Diversity and Inclusion” to “Culture and Inclusion” — but continues to promote apparently unlawful practices.

The company offers employment benefits based on race or sex. Image
/3 Cracker Barrel promises to “attract, select, develop, and retain high-performing talent with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.” Image

🚨SMOKING GUN🚨

AFL has obtained new documents CONCLUSIVELY PROVING that AG Merrick Garland’s infamous Oct. 4 memo labeling concerned parents at school board meetings “domestic terrorists” was POLITICALLY ORCHESTRATED and DRIVEN by the Biden White House.

“WH has been in touch.” Image
/2 These new documents expose the Biden White House’s involvement in AG Garland’s memo targeting parents — and reveal that career lawyers at DOJ warned that there was no federal authority or legal basis to target these parents in the first place because their speech is protected by the First Amendment.
/3 The documents show that after receiving the National School Board Association (NSBA) memo, which called on DOJ to use the Patriot Act to prevent parents from objecting to mask mandates in schools and Critical Race Theory in the curriculum, DOJ’s political leadership worked to identify anything — any authority — they could use to bring the full weight of the Justice Department down on parents.Image

🚨 BREAKING: NPR’s GOVERNMENT-FUNDED DEI policies EXPOSED!

The Senate just voted to cut funding for NPR. Why should you care?

Among other things:

NPR admits to tracking the race of its employees and, incredibly, its SOURCES used to give you the ‘news.’

Your tax dollars are hard at work pushing an agenda, not reporting the news. 🧵Image
/2 Focused on “inclusive storytelling” (instead of “accurate reporting”), NPR tracks the demographics of its news sources in order to achieve its “newsroom mission” “to look and sound like America.”

THEY ARE RACIALLY BALANCING THEIR NEWS SOURCES! Image
/3 Translation: NPR is basing which stories it covers, runs, and airs on the basis of skin color and sex of the sources of their stories. But don’t just take our word for it. They openly admit it.

This News Source Tracking initiative appears to have resulted in a 16% drop in the number of white news sources since 2013 while black sources have been the primary beneficiary.Image

/1🚨🗳 BREAKING — AFL just filed a formal petition with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

No more “honor system.”

No more loopholes.

Only U.S. citizens voting in U.S. elections. Image
/2 Federal law requires all states to use a single form for voter registration for federal elections.

This form, which the EAC is responsible for maintaining and amending, is required to collect the information necessary to “assess the eligibility of the applicant.” Image
/3 But the federal voter registration form doesn’t actually require any proof of citizenship…

It only requires applicants to check a box saying they are a U.S. citizen.

And it doesn’t require any verification that applicants are telling the truth. Image

/1🚨EXPOSED — The Left is suing to reinstate Biden’s DEI grants, calling it “discrimination” to stop funding race-based woke research.

But here’s what NIH really terminated:

A pipeline of radical, discriminatory junk science.

We read all 4,400 grants. Here’s what we found...🧵 Image
/2 Biden’s HHS awarded $740,000 to NYU for a project titled ADEPT: Assessing Diversity Effects Post Affirmative Action Restrictions in Medical Schools.

The purpose? To study how medical schools can adapt admissions and preserve racial preferences after the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions.

The goal? To preserve race-based admissions pipelines using “equity and inclusion” as a cover.

This isn’t research.

It’s taxpayer-funded resistance to the Supreme Court.Image
/3 Biden’s HHS also awarded $2.1 million to Emory University to study meth use among black, gay, bisexual “men who have sex with men.”

The goal of the project? To “generate knowledge” to ameliorate “meth-related harms among black GBMSM.”

Apparently, “structural racism,” a “discriminatory LGBT climate,” and “health inequities” are to blame for drug abuse now.

And yes, there’s a lawsuit demanding we reinstate this. 🤡Image
