/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🚨NEW — The Eleventh Circuit should affirm Judge Cannon’s ruling and order the destruction of Volume II of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL investigation into President Trump. Image
/2 AFL’s amicus brief, filed in United States v. Knight First Amendment Institute, argues that because Volume II is the product of an unconstitutional investigation, it is not subject to the Federal Records Act and therefore does not need to be preserved under those provisions.
/3 AFL also argues that even if Volume II is subject to the Federal Records Act, it would still qualify for authorized disposition under the Records Disposal Act, and its disclosure would be prohibited by the Privacy Act of 1974.

/1🚨Fight trans insanity in schools —

AFL has released an updated parental opt-out template letter following SCOTUS’s decision in Mirabelli v. Bonta, reaffirming parents’ constitutional right to direct their children’s upbringing and education. Image
/2 AFL’s updated template letter incorporates the Supreme Court’s ruling in Mirabelli v. Bonta: schools may not facilitate a child’s “gender transition” without parental consent.
/3 Specifically, the revised template enables parents to demand notice and an opportunity to opt out of instruction or activities involving:

➡️ “Gender identity”

➡️ “Gender-affirming care”

➡️ Sexual preferences

➡️ LGBTQ-related matters

/1🚨NEW — AFL has partnered with @JustTheNews to reveal the Biden administration’s SCANDALOUS role in Fani Willis’s prosecution of President Trump in Fulton County, GA.

AFL and Just The News have uncovered more than 8,000 pages of unredacted records from the Fulton County DA.
/2 The documents expose extensive coordination between Willis’s office, the Biden administration’s DOJ, the White House, and Democrats on the J6 Select Committee as they pursued their criminal case against President Trump over challenges to Georgia’s 2020 election results.
/3 The records reveal what appears to be unprecedented federal assistance to a local partisan prosecution:

President Biden personally waived former Trump administration officials’ executive privilege, allowing Fulton prosecutors to interview Trump before a state grand jury. Image

/1🚨ROGUE REDISTRICTING — AFL is urging a federal court in Utah to reject a state judge’s congressional map.

The map was drawn by activists and partisan lawyers at the Elias Law Group and would redistrict about half a million voters from a single county into new districts. Image
/2 Late last year, a state judge ordered Utah’s lieutenant governor to use this new map that would redistrict approximately half a million voters and result in dramatic political point swings.
/3 AFL’s brief argues that this court-imposed congressional map violates federal law, including the U.S. Constitution’s Elections Clause, which requires courts to enforce the last map enacted by the legislature if the current one is unconstitutional.

/1🚨LITIGATION UPDATE — AFL has filed an amended complaint challenging the U.S. Census Bureau’s unlawful use of statistical methods in the 2020 Census.

The Constitution demands a complete and accurate Census.

The American people deserve nothing less. Image
/2 AFL’s complaint, filed in the District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, hones its claims to show that the Census Bureau’s COVID-19 pandemic-related decisions to suspend or alter standard agency procedures crossed the line and caused inaccurate results.
/3 The complaint emphasizes that the most significant COVID-19 pandemic-related change was a sharp increase in the use of imputation — a statistical method that uses someone else’s data to fill in a missing person’s information.

Accurate representation requires an accurate count.

The Trump Administration Wants White Men to Claim Discrimination. This Is What Happens When They Do Image
“Jeff Vaughn says it was a 2022 billboard that convinced him being White and male was becoming a liability.

The then-evening anchor at CBS’s flagship Los Angeles television station remembers seeing an ad for his news program — and realizing it didn’t feature him.”
“It did include all of his co-anchors, none of whom, he says, was a straight White man like him.

‘That was a real gut punch,’ Vaughn, 60, said in an interview.

‘If you take a look at every person that’s on the billboard, it’s somebody that CBS sees as checking the box, whether it’s a woman or a minority or LGBTQ.’”
