New docs reveal DHS intel group proposed:

✔️Americans should report their neighbors to the feds

✔️Reclassifying political dissent under the guise of “public health” so that “mothers and teachers” feel comfortable coming forward

#DeepStateDiaries PART 1: Image
/2 Following our victory with @RichardGrenell that resulted in the disbanding of the DHS “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” we are releasing the first tranche of the group’s internal meeting notes, exclusively obtained from litigation...
/3 As part 1, newly obtained documents reveal that the advisory committee that included John Brennan and James Clapper discussed ways for DHS to increase efforts to collect intelligence on Americans across the country, including attempting to “get into local communities in a non-threatening way.”
/4 By the time the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group was announced in September 2023, the Group had already been meeting for as long as four months...
/5 However, during that September meeting, the Group held a discussion on “Collection Posture and Associated Challenges,” where a Group member (likely someone from DHS) complained that there was “no mandate for state land local partners” to collect information which resulted in “limited access in I&A.”Image
/6 They continued that while “support for this mission set has varied,” it had “changed after January 6th,” as their mission to combat domestic terrorism gained “departmental support” and “political” support. Image
/7 However, DHS has very limited authority to engage in intelligence collection, constrained by the Constitution and federal law. Image
/8 The Group noted that the “See Something, Say Something” campaign after 9/11 fell short because “Americans have an ambivalent feeling of telling on each other.”

The problem, as one attendee phrased it is, “How do we get into local communities in a non-threatening way? How do people safely report a concern about their neighbors?”Image
/9 The next speaker replied by asking if there was “an ambiguous approach” to getting into communities to gather information.

This particular speaker lamented that DHS did not have a broad enough reach into communities.
/10 Disturbingly, the meeting notes go on to discuss reclassifying political dissent as a “public health” crisis.

Keep reading…
/11 The very next speaker proposed another solution: reclassify “concerning” behavior into the “public health catcher’s mitt” so that “mother[s] and teacher[s]” feel comfortable coming forward. Image
/12 Indeed, the Brennan-Clapper Intelligence group suggested that the best way to combat domestic extremism is to get mothers and teachers to turn in their children or students to the federal government under the guise of “public health.”
/13 The Group highlighted Denver’s “behavioral analysis response” as a potential solution and an “ambiguous approach.” Image
/14 Where DHS lacks capabilities and cannot convince mothers and teachers to report their own children, one contributor suggested that DHS should turn to corporate America as a resource: Image
/15 To which someone (presumably from) DHS replied: Image
/16 Stay tuned for the next installment of #DeepStateDiaries

🚨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!

🚨BREAKING — AFL launched a NEW investigation into the outside influence behind a Biden-era organ transplant policy that PAYS hospitals to INCREASE transplant numbers — tying organ harvesting to financial gain. Image
/2 This investigation targets the role of third-party entities — Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs), nonprofits like UNOS and AOPO, and for-profit actors — in shaping the Biden Administration’s IOTA Model.

AFL has filed FOIA requests with HHS, CMS, and HRSA to uncover how these groups influenced its design and whether they steered federal transplant policy to advance an unlawful political agenda.Image
/3 The Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model is a mandatory six-year initiative that took effect on July 1.

It pressures Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) to harvest more organs and urges hospitals to prioritize kidney-transplant recipients based on race. Image
