The DOJ is dismissing a Biden-era lawsuit that falsely accused Georgia of changing its election laws after the 2020 election to suppress Black voters’ votes. This sham case peddled division over facts – we are ending it today. THREAD ↓
In 2021, Georgia passed SB 202, which secured elections with photo ID, tighter absentee rules, and expanded early voting. The result? Record turnout, including for Black voters, and historically smooth elections.
The Biden DOJ’s answer? A baseless lawsuit, pushing a fabricated “racist voter suppression” narrative to divide Americans and score cheap political points. This wasn’t a mistake; it was a calculated bid to score cheap political points and punish Georgia for protecting its elections.
Biden branded SB 202 “Jim Crow 2.0” and his media cronies fueled the misinformation. Their ploy paid off: MLB ripped the 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta, costing millions. Coca-Cola, Delta, and others joined the pile-on with sanctimonious gripes.
Here’s the kicker: Biden’s team didn’t backdown after Black voter turnout soared. Instead, they kept up the charade to amplify their race-baiting narrative for leverage to tilt the political scales. Thankfully, that effort failed.
Securing elections isn’t racist—it’s our job. Screaming “Jim Crow” at commonsense laws mocks Black voters and trashes our civil rights legacy—it’s an insult to every American who fought real racism. Under @POTUS and @AGPamBondi, the DOJ will end these divisive stunts and protect elections.

The Department of Justice is dismissing Biden-era consent decrees in North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, and Indiana for imposing DEI hiring requirements on fire and police departments.

As Justice Clarence Thomas noted:
Raced-based decision-making “yields a quota- and caste-ridden society steeped in race-based discrimination.”
DOJ will not allow this to happen.
Hiring our Nation’s first responders and law enforcement officers must be based on MERIT.
Prosecutorial misconduct and political agendas will no longer be tolerated.
The case against Mayor Adams was just one in a long history of past DOJ actions that represent grave errors of judgement.
This DOJ is going back to basics.

Prosecuting the mayor of America’s largest city raises unique concerns.
I want to focus on one aspect: The legal theories underpinning SDNY’s case and the particularly expansive reading of public corruption law adopted by the prosecutors in this action.
To win a bribery conviction against a public official, DOJ must show some official act in exchange for benefits — a quid pro quo. What is the official act alleged in this indictment?
Well, the main event took place before Adams was even Mayor.
