/1🚨BREAKING🚨

Following a report from @SenateCommerce @SenTedCruz, we launched multiple investigations and filed a lawsuit against the National Science Foundation regarding the misuse of billions of dollars in federal research funds by Biden-Harris to promote illegal DEI: Image
/2 Immediately upon taking power, the Biden-Harris White House created a task force on “scientific integrity” to provide “a review of the impact on [the] scientific integrity of diversity, equity, and inclusion practices” at all science-related agencies. Image
/3 Later, the White House and NSF ordered agencies to “[i]ncorporate DEIA [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility] considerations into all aspects of science planning, execution, and communication.” Image
/4 On October 9 @SenTedCruz, the Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, issued a shocking and groundbreaking report finding that the NSF has awarded more than $2.05 billion in federal funding to thousands of scientific research projects that promoted DEI or “pushed neo-Marxist perspectives about enduring class struggle.”Image
/5 The @SenateCommerce report analyzed over 32,000 Prime Award grants between January 2021 and April 2024. The data showed that only 0.29 percent of all grants with start dates in 2021 centered on DEI initiatives, but by 2024, more than a quarter (27 percent) of all new grants pushed this divisive, dangerous, and illegal perspective, totaling $2.05 billion. Of this, “social justice”-related grants totaled a staggering $1.6 billion.Image
Image
/6 Following up on the Cruz report, we are investigating:

🚨NSF’s selection process regarding five of the most egregious social justice-related grant awards highlighted in the Senate Commerce report.
🚨The political leadership at NSF was appointed by the Biden-Harris Administration. AFL initially filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for these records on May 9, 2023, but to date, has not received any substantive response from the agency.
🚨Influence by the Biden-Harris White House into federal research funding at the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
/7 We also filed a lawsuit against the National Science Foundation for illegally concealing the employment records of the agency officials approving these grants.
/8 The Biden-Harris Administration has hijacked billions in federal taxpayer funds meant for important scientific research to promote anti-intellectual, anti-science, and anti-American DEI and leftist ideology. aflegal.org/america-first-…

/1 🚨D.C. Crime Stat Scandal Explained

Yesterday, @freebeacon reported that the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) quietly settled a case about false stats.

AFL reviewed the docket in that case and other materials. It's like something straight out of The Wire.Image
/2 D.C. has been playing fast and loose with the crime stats for years.

The lawsuit that MPD settled this week was a whistleblower retaliation suit, filed in 2020, by a police Sergeant who spoke out against the MPD’s apparent practice of recording felonies as misdemeanors. Image
/3 Starting in 2019, MPD Sergeant Djossou tried to expose the fake stats that D.C. government leadership apparently wanted for their own purposes.

At first, she succeeded in getting over 100 misdemeanor cases properly re-marked as felonies. Image

📄 NEW — AFL filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn a radical Ninth Circuit ruling blocking critical border security measures.

Proud to represent:

@HawleyMO Image
/2 The Obama and first Trump Administrations both used a border security measure known as “metering” to pace border crossings and control the flow of illegal aliens attempting to enter the United States and claim asylum.
/3 Metering enabled U.S. Customs and Border Protection to prevent border surges, reduce overcrowding, and ensure orderly processing.

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a federal complaint with DOJ calling for enforcement action against Harvard Medical School for illegal DEI discrimination.

Once the gold standard of higher education, Harvard is now better known for defying the law and the Constitution…🧵 Image
/2 Harvard isn’t dismantling its DEI infrastructure as required by law — it’s rebranding the same discriminatory system under a new lexicon of euphemisms to evade it. Image
/3 Harvard’s “Office for Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Partnership” is now the “Office for Cultural and Community Engagement.”

The new label changes nothing — the office still promotes “inclusive excellence,” a framework designed to embed DEI into every level of an institution.Image

🚨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
