/1🚨BREAKING — AFL is investigating why Judge John McConnell was selected to preside over the lawsuit challenging President Trump’s spending freeze — despite his public opposition to the President and long-time ties to a group that now stands to receive millions after his ruling. Image
/2 On January 28, 2025, the District of Columbia and 22 states, including Rhode Island, sued the Trump Administration over President Trump’s temporary spending freeze. Image
/3 This lawsuit could have been brought in any number of jurisdictions — but it was filed in Rhode Island and assigned to Judge McConnell.

The question is, why?
/4 Judge McConnell has a long history of anti-Trump rhetoric and has been an outspoken critic of President Trump.
/5 Last month, AFL uncovered that Judge McConnell has served nearly two decades on the Board of Crossroads Rhode Island, an organization that has received at least $128 million in government funding during that time.
/6 AFL called for Judge McConnell to recuse himself from the case, given his history of opposition to President Trump and long-standing involvement with an organization that, after his ruling to keep federal funds flowing, stands to receive millions more in government funding.
/7 Now, AFL is expanding its investigation into how Judge McConnell was selected for this case in the first place.

Out of the 22 states and D.C., why was the lawsuit filed in Rhode Island? And why was Judge McConnell selected to hear the case?

We intend to find out.
/8 An impartial judiciary is the cornerstone of America’s judicial system.

AFL remains steadfast in its commitment to exposing the left’s lawfare against President Trump — and holding those behind it accountable.

/1📢 NEW SCOTUS BRIEF —

AFL has filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court to protect parents’ constitutional right to opt their children out of Montgomery County Public Schools’ radical gender identity and sexuality indoctrination program.

MUST READ👇 Image
/2 AFL and co-counsel Christopher Mills filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Tamer Mahmoud v. Thomas W. Taylor, opposing the Montgomery County, Maryland, Public School District’s (MCPS) radical, mandatory gender identity and sexuality program of indoctrination that denies parents their right to know or opt their children out.
/3 AFL argues:

➡️ MCPS’ radical sexuality and gender identity curriculum does not align with the historical roots of valuable education for children.

➡️ The school district disregards parental notice and opt-out rights, violating statutory and constitutional requirements.

➡️ MCPS wrongfully exposes young students to highly controversial sex and gender identity indoctrination, promoting disputed opinions as fact without allowing discussion or acknowledging dissent and disagreement.

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL has filed an amicus brief in New Jersey v. Trump to protect our national security, defend our sovereignty, and support President Trump’s Executive Order ending birthright citizenship.Image
/2 AFL, partnering with Stone Hilton PLLC, filed a brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in support of President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.”Image
/3 The Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, properly interpreted, does not automatically confer citizenship to every person born on U.S. soil because it requires individuals to be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States.
