Did you know our Judiciary has its own taxpayer-funded “neutral training pipeline"?

Meet the USAID of Article III.

The Federal Judicial Center. What I've uncovered isn't "neutral" judicial training. It's ideological capture. Take a look at how it's infecting our judiciary. 🧵 Image
The Federal Judicial Center (FJC) is the official research and education arm of the federal courts, created by Congress to train and equip our nation's judges.

It shapes how these judges evaluate evidence.

Its materials influence real court cases across the country every day.
You'd assume the FJC is filled with unbiased and impartial legal scholars, especially when it comes to directing judges' continuing education. Let's meet @jrlinkins, Director of Education at FJC.
She describes her "heroes" as Zora Neale Hurston (known for her flagrant plagiarism in her extensive work on Haitian Voodoo) and Staceyann Chin (A Chinese-Jamaican Lesbian Poet known for writing smut and reciting it at poetry slams). Image
Unsurprisingly, this is the type of content being promoted by the FJC's leadership. Image
Image
But does this asinine ideology flow into FJC's work? Of course. The FJC has partnered with Columbia University and other left-wing organizations. Together they “educated” over 2,000 judges on climate change nonsense. Image
This is clearly a taxpayer-funded patronage network. While doing the Left's dirty work in the Judicial branch, Linkins quietly funneled kickbacks through ActBlue to Democrats in Congress and Biden's Campaign. Image
Image
Then came the bombshell: The FJC’s Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, the guide judges use to decide what science counts in court.

They snuck in a MASSIVE new climate change chapter, written by organizations actively suing energy producers.Image
Image
The backlash was so fierce that the FJC was forced to pull the entire climate chapter, but only after it had already been distributed to thousands of judges.

Let that sink in. They laundered Greta Thunberg talking points into the official judicial reference manual. Image
This taxpayer funded outfit has become infested with pop scientists peddling Davos-approved talking points. This isn’t something we can simply overlook or ignore.
The courts are not a branch of the left-wing NGO complex. They are not supposed to be trained by the very left-wing activists filing the lawsuits. They are not supposed to get their “science” from outfits whose explicit goal is to reshape law in favor of climate policy outcome.
The rule of law is sacred. It demands real neutrality, not indoctrination from Columbia climate warriors and their NGO allies.

We’re going to keep shining a light on this until the pipeline is shut down and accountability is restored.

Mohsen Mahdawi, a 34 year old at Columbia University who spent 15 YEARS as an undergrad student, is on his way to being deported back to his native Jordan.

These "forever students" show a MASSIVE loophole in our system. 🧵 Image
Image
Foreign nationals on F-1 visas staying enrolled 15-25+ years to live here indefinitely.

Thousands of foreign "students" who entered 2000-2010 STILL have active F-1 status as of 2025.

This is ridiculous and must end. Image
DHS calls them exactly that: "forever" students, perpetually enrolled to remain in the U.S.

No repeated vetting. Weak oversight.

Past admins let this drag on since the 1970s "duration of status" rule.

The Trump Admin is ending it. Image

Victory. No more taxpayer-backed home loans for illegal aliens.

This is one of those things you can't believe was actually happening.

American citizens are struggling to buy homes while mass migration drives up prices and strains the housing supply. 🧵
Mass migration is driving up home prices: HUD report shows foreign-born residents fueled over half of owner-occupied housing growth in CA & NY, spiking costs for American buyers.

This move by @SecretaryTurner ends American taxpayers paying for housing for illegals. Image
Illegal aliens were never eligible, but the Biden administration bent the rules.

Secretary Turner is fixing it with audits and DHS checks. Americans who play by the rules, stay prioritized. Image

Authorities busted a massive fake-degree racket: 100k+ counterfeit certificates seized from 28 “universities” in India.

One mill sold 36k fakes for as little as $1,400 each.

This would violate 18 USC 1546(a). It's time to prosecute those who broke the law. 🧵 Image
India takes ~70% of H-1B filings. H-1B requires a real specialty degree.

Fake the credential = fraudulent visa from day one.

It's alleged that up to 90% of those Indian visas are fraudulent. American workers are displaced by paper mills instead of proven talent. Image
Image
This isn't surprising. Manav Bharti University sold ~36,000 bogus degrees while issuing far fewer real ones.

Biden's USCIS admits: It didn't track how many H-1Bs went to “graduates” of this mill. No systematic verification for many foreign credentials.

Unacceptable. Image

The Trump Administration just declared the EEOC’s disparate-impact regime unconstitutional.

Disparate impact forced employers to trade neutral standards for racial quotas.

This is a direct strike on one of the Left’s favorite tools for forcing racial outcomes through law. Image
For decades, disparate impact let our managerial elite treat neutral standards as suspect if they produced the “wrong” racial numbers.

It banned things like background checks, aptitude tests, knowledge exams, hiring screens, and merit-based selection.

That regime is over.
OLC’s conclusion is clear: EEOC’s Title VII guidelines are unconstitutional because they impose liability based on disparate outcomes alone and pressure employers into race-based decision making. Image

J.B. Pritzker called Callais an “abomination.”

No wonder. Illinois built one of the clearest race-based redistricting regimes in the country.

Just filed: the first major post-Callais lawsuit—and Illinois is the target. Time to enforce Callais nationwide. Image
Image
According to the Public Interest Legal Foundation, its client is challenging the Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011’s redistricting mandates under the Fifteenth Amendment and federal Voting Rights Act.

That is exactly the kind of litigation Callais invites. Image
Illinois did not hide the ball.

When Gov. Pritzker signed the maps, he invoked the Illinois Voting Rights Act and praised redistricting plans designed to preserve “clusters of minority voters” with “collective electoral power.”

That is race-conscious districting by design. Image

Virginia's map just got struck down. Is California next?

California's "mapmaker" drew its new maps to "ensure" that racially gerrymandered "VRA seats are bolstered in order to make them most effective." That's illegal under Callais.

@AAGDhillon: Here's how we can do it. 🧵 Image
California state law requires an "independent" Commission to draw its district maps.

But Newsom and state Legislature Dems overrode the Commission last year to gerrymander.

That meant hiring a "mapmaker"—Paul Mitchell—to do it.

But he drew an illegal racial gerrymander. Image
Image
Before SCOTUS's recent Callais decision, courts interpreted the VRA to effectively *require* racial quotas in gerrymandering.

As Justice Thomas explained, that was “repugnant to any nation that strives for the ideal of a color-blind Constitution.” Image
