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:
/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.
/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.”
/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.”
/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.
/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-…

🚨BREAKING — AFL filed complaints demanding federal investigations into Chicago, San Francisco, and Loudoun County Public Schools for illegal policies that socially transition children and keep parents in the dark.
The districts’ superintendents testify before Congress June 10.
AFL’s complaints, filed with the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Education, detail serious violations of federal law by:
🏫 Chicago Public Schools
🏫 San Francisco Unified School District
🏫 Loudoun County Public Schools
The complaints detail violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution through radical policies adopted by each of the school districts.
Judge John McConnell just issued a sweeping ruling blocking Trump’s immigration and asylum policies.
This is the same judge AFL exposed for failing to recuse from the Trump spending freeze case — despite previously leading a nonprofit that received $128M in federal funding.
🧵
Judge McConnell served 18 years on the board of Crossroads Rhode Island.
His nonprofit received $128 million in government funding during that time.
AFL challenged a Biden-era DEI framework embedded in a federal kidney transplant program.
The Trump Administration just dismantled it.
No American should ever be denied a transplant because of their race.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services just published a final rule stripping the Biden Administration’s DEI framework from the Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model.
One of the most aggressive attempts to inject race into organ transplantation is gone.
The IOTA Model was part of Biden’s “sweeping equity agenda” to confront the “unbearable human costs of systemic racism.”
It directed hospitals to create “Health Equity Plans” that sorted patients by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status and implemented race-based interventions to alter transplant outcomes.
In a system where every organ can mean life or death, Biden’s answer was DEI.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors appears to be attempting to undermine a court order, usurp Recorder Justin Heap’s authority, and keep voters in the dark about a faster way to vote.
AFL’s letter exposes what’s happening.
And it’s explosive.
The Board’s Elections Director, Scott Jarrett, has been going around Recorder Heap — cornering individual Recorder staff one-on-one and trying to lock in deals the recorder never authorized.
That’s not “good faith.”
That’s staff-shopping — and a deliberate attempt to manufacture facts on the ground and usurp authority the Superior Court just ruled belongs to the Recorder.
Recorder Heap has been crystal clear.
All binding agreements on election administration must go through him or his lawyer.
AFL is calling on the FCC to press for TV ratings reform and require content warnings for gender identity and LGBTQ+ themes in children’s TV programs.
Parents deserve to know what their kids are watching.
The current system HIDES this information.
Here’s what we found.
🧵
/2 AFL’s comment asks the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to press the TV Parental Guidelines Oversight Monitoring Board (TVOMB) to add content to warnings for any children’s TV programs with gender identity, same-sex relationships, or LGBTQ+ themes.
/3 The TV ratings system is BROKEN.
Shows rated TV-Y — designed for children ages 2 to 6 — are pushing transgender ideology and gender confusion with ZERO disclosure to parents.
