Holder was notorious for weaponizing DOJ under Obama: pushing CRT, dropping the Black Panthers election intimidation case, withholding docs from Congress.
Holder more or less mainstreamed the idea that voter ID laws are discriminatory, by suing Texas over a voter ID law. The DOJ ultimately settled the case, admitting no "discriminatory effect or intent."

Holder claimed that policies with "the appearance of being race-neutral" nonetheless "disproportionately disenfranchise African-Americans, Hispanics, other communities of color and vulnerable populations such as the elderly.”

After he left the role of attorney general in 2015, he took the reins at the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which challenges maps and helps Democrats win elections.

Meet Tina Thomas. She's an assistant U.S. attorney at DOJ.
According to her LinkedIN bio, she worked closely with Holder during her time at Covington & Burling (2015-2021), particularly on Holder's redistricting work.🤔
🧵5/8
Both LinkedIn and her old Covington bio mention she did pro-bono work with the National Redistricting Foundation, a nonprofit aligned with Holder's committee.

Thomas is a "burrower." President Biden appointed her to a political position in the DOJ Office of Legal Policy, but she took a job in the DC U.S. attorney's office in August 2024.
As best I can tell, she's still working in Trump's DOJ.

Bill Gates rejected climate alarmism and urged climate activism to prioritize human welfare and broad-based prosperity, rather than playing God by trying to control the global temperature.
This is great news for America and the world.

Gates is one of the most influential philanthropists today. Where the Gates Foundation leads, many may follow.
As the Microsoft founder said, the world is not ending due to climate change, and we should focus on helping the poorest survive natural disasters.
🧵2/6
Earlier this year, the Gates Foundation secretly cut ties with the Left's dark money network. The leftist NGOs that are clients of Arabella Advisors have been pushing climate alarmism for decades, but now Gates has distanced himself.
How does Corporate America systematically blacklist conservatives? It outsources the dirty work to morally bankrupt smear factory, using a "hate map" that actually inspired violence.😲
Here's how it works, and how conservatives are fighting back.

Meet Benevity. Nearly 1,000 enterprise companies use this platform for philanthropy.
Benevity manages employees' giving to nonprofits before taxes, companies matching employee contributions, employee volunteering, and corporate grants.
🧵2/12
Benevity has managed $18.5B in donations, directed 99M volunteer hours, working with 513,000 nonprofits, but vetting 2.2M.
However bad you think the Biden DOJ was, new documents show that it was even worse.
The Civil Rights Division had a disturbingly close relationship with a group tied to Antifa, a group that compares conservatives to the KKK.
🧵1/14
I am referring to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which puts conservative & Christian groups on a "hate map" with KKK chapters, suggesting a similar hatred drives them.
Then-SPLC President Margaret Huang bragged about advising the Biden admin on "domestic terrorism."
🧵2/14
New docs obtained by @America1stLegal show DOJ Civil Rights Division head Kristen Clarke asking Huang for tips to track "matters of concern."
Kash Patel announced that the FBI had cut ties from the SPLC today.
This was long in coming. I'd know—I wrote the book about the SPLC.
I was shocked, though not surprised, to see the media twist the story.
🧵1/20
SPLC puts mainstream conservatives on a "hate map" with the KKK. This inspired a terror attack in 2012. This year, SPLC added Turning Point USA to the "hate map" before Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Liberals have joined conservatives in slamming the SPLC's extreme bias.
🧵2/20
This came after news the SPLC cut ties to the Anti-Defamation League.
Why? The ADL has demonized critics of transgender ideology, and it bent over backwards to suggest the Nashville transgender shooter was not an example of "left-wing extremism."
The FBI under Kash Patel has formally cut all ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center
This is HUGE
🧵1/5
“The SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work & turned into a partisan smear machine,” @Kash_Patel told me. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans & even inspired violence.”
“That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.”
🧵2/5
This comes after I and a chorus of conservative voices, including @elonmusk, @Cernovich, @JackPosobiec, and so many others rightly called on the FBI to officially cut ties.
