/1🚨 BREAKING 🚨

AFL has obtained new photos of Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associates and introducing Hunter to China’s President Xi Jinping. Image
/2 These photos shed light on the connections between then-Vice President Biden, Hunter and his Chinese business associates, and Chinese government officials, including President Xi Jinping.
/3 AFL obtained the photos through our lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which was filed on September 8, 2022.
/4 Following the Presidential Records Act, NARA had planned to release these photographs on October 23, 2024 — thirteen days before Election Day. Image
Image
/5 Lawyers and representatives for President Biden and President Obama delayed NARA’s release of these photos — as they did with other critical records — until after Election Day.
/6 In 2013, then-Vice President Biden went on an official trip across Asia, including a stop in Beijing, China. In these newly-released photographs, Joe Biden appears to introduce his son, Hunter, to President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China. Image
/7 Joe Biden also appeared to introduce Hunter to China’s then-Vice President Li Yuanchao. Image
Image
/8 While they were in China, Joe Biden appeared to make time to meet with Hunter’s business associates at BHR Partners, including its CEO, Jonathan Li. Image
Image
/9 Joe Biden also appeared to meet with the Director and Managing Partner of BHR Partners, Ming Xue. Image
Image
Image
Image
/10 These photos corroborate the House Oversight Committee’s investigative findings that Hunter Biden arranged for his father to meet with Jonathan Li and other BHR executives during the 2013 China trip, where “Mr. Li sought—and received—access to Vice President Biden’s political power, including, for example, preferential access to then-U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus … a condition of Hunter Biden and his associates participating in the BHR deal.”Image
Image
Image
Image
/11 AFL’s investigation previously uncovered other evidence showing Hunter’s special access to then-U.S. Ambassador Baucus.
/12 As Vice President, Joe Biden also wrote letters of recommendation for Jonathan Li’s son and daughter, according to testimony from Hunter’s former business partner, Devon Archer, and emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Image
/13 According to the Committee’s investigation, the Biden Family benefitted from their business dealings with BHR. Image
/14 Even so, the Biden-Harris Administration is preventing the release of 182 of the 313 photographs that NARA processed. Image
/15 AFL will keep fighting for the release of these unlawfully withheld records.

/1🚨 BREAKING: AFL has filed federal civil rights complaints against THREE Virginia localities for race-based discrimination.

AFL is requesting @CivilRights investigate:
-City of Alexandria
-City of Richmond
-Arlington County
/2 Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits race-based discrimination by entities receiving federal funding.

Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment.

These jurisdictions appear to be violating both.
/3 AFL’s complaint highlights how the City of Alexandra passed a resolution, which Alexandria’s Office of Race and Social Equity (RASE) describes as motivating the city’s commitment to “embedding racial and social equity into all city policies, programs, decisions, and environments.”Image

/1🚨BREAKING—AFL has filed a complaint with the Dept. of Education, urging an immediate investigation into Illinois’ new law forcing annual mental health screenings on children without parental consent—a clear violation of federal law and shocking expansion of state power. Image
/2 Illinois’ Public Act 104-0032 orders schools to screen kids in grades 3–12 for mental health issues at least once a year, starting in 2027.

No consent. No parental notice. Just the State interrogating children about their private emotions, family life, and home environment—and recording their answers in a government database.
/3 Under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, schools must obtain affirmative written parental consent before subjecting any child to any “survey, analysis, or evaluation” about their mental health or psychological condition.

Illinois’ new law ignores that requirement entirely.

/1🚨PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN — America First Legal just released a template letter that parents can use to opt out of radical classroom instruction and woke school policies. Image
/2 AFL’s letter enables parents to exercise their rights after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

The Court held that a school district violated parents’ rights by failing to provide notice and an opportunity to opt out before exposing children to radical LGBTQ storybooks.
/3 AFL’s letter also helps parents exercise their rights under the PPRA — a federal law that requires schools to give parents notice and an opportunity to inspect classroom materials.

/1🔎NEW — AFL has expanded its investigation into the City of Portland and the Portland Police Bureau.

We’re examining the bureau’s involvement with anti-ICE groups and Antifa — and whether it let radical demonstrators disrupt ICE operations, assault reporters, or shield Antifa. Image
/2 AFL has requested records to uncover how Portland officials may have enabled lawlessness — including by assisting anti-ICE groups in acquiring office space.
/3 This expands AFL’s ongoing investigation into the City of Portland, which previously uncovered its explicit inclusion of race as a central component of the city’s policing practices to achieve “equitable outcomes.”

/1🚨EXPOSED — New documents reveal that after Hamas terrorists’ October 7 attack, Biden’s DOJ DOWNPLAYED the surge in antisemitism across America — while giving the SPLC an OPEN LINE to steer federal civil-rights policy away from policing antisemitic violence. Image
/2 BEFORE OCTOBER 7, 2023:

Combating antisemitic violence was on DOJ’s agenda.

In December 2022, it was listed on the event memo for the Deputy Attorney General’s “Quarterly Civil Rights Organization Meeting,” lumped in with “Anti-LGBTQ+ Violence.” Image
/3 The agenda for the 2022 meeting included addressing “White Supremacy in Law Enforcement,” in addition to “Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate” and the SPLC’s perspective on hate crimes data. Image

/1🚨BREAKING — Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis didn’t dismantle its illegal “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” regime. 

Instead, they hid their DEI office on a restricted floor.

America First Legal found it.

🧵…. Image
/2 The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, once on the 1st floor of the North Medical Building — open and visible to the public — has been moved to the 12th floor of the Mid Campus Center, a restricted-access floor omitted from the university’s official floor plan. Image
/3 An office built on “equity and inclusion” now operates behind locked doors, inaccessible to the public, the students, and the community it claims to represent.

We’d ask what WashU is hiding — but we already know. Image
