🚨BREAKING: I am demanding the DOJ investigated whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval. If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all other actions are unconstitutional and legally void. https://t.co/pOhATRfw2j

🚨BREAKING: I am filing a brief to block @JoeBiden from selling off materials Congress appropriated to finish President Trump's border wall. The Biden Admin is working to thwart the law at every turn. I will fight to uphold the court order we obtained to secure the border.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
🚨BREAKING: The Court granted our motion to BLOCK @JoeBiden from using YOUR tax dollars to fund illegal aliens’ healthcare. A major win for the American people. We will always fight for the rule of law.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
🚨BREAKING: A Court just sided with my team yet again, ruling Missouri’s voter ID law will remain INTACT. We went to court, we put on the evidence, and radical activists working to undermine our elections FAILED. This is a HUGE win for election security.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
🚨BREAKING: The Court just granted our request to throw out the Biden-Harris Administration's illegal parole-in-place program allowing illegal aliens to remain in our country after they have crossed the border. A HUGE win for the rule of law.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
🚨BREAKING: I filed suit against the Biden-Harris DOJ for sending unauthorized poll monitors to Missouri polling locations. The law is clear that @KamalaHarris can’t just send unvetted individuals into our polling places. It’s illegal and undermines trust in our elections.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey

UPDATE: I am demanding all communications from the City of St. Louis and Kansas City on the transportation of illegal immigrants by @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris into Missouri. It is a felony to knowingly transport illegal aliens through Missouri. We will obtain answers.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Hey @KamalaHarris @JoeBiden, It is a felony in the State of Missouri to knowingly transport an illegal alien. See you in court.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
🚨BREAKING: I am filing suit against @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris for REFUSING to turn over documents about the flying of illegal immigrants into Missouri. We have reason to believe they are deliberately flying illegal aliens from the border into our cities. Not on my watch.

The United States Supreme Court has ordered New York to respond by Wednesday.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
JUST IN: The Court granted our emergency motion to BLOCK Joe Biden’s entire illegal student loan plan, which would have saddled working Americans with half-a-trillion dollars in Ivy League debt. HUGE win for every American who still believes in paying their own way.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
🚨BREAKING: I have filed suit against the State of New York for hijacking the presidential election by illegally scheming to jail their presidential opponent, President Trump. New York is waging war on American Democracy — and Missouri will not let it stand. THREAD: https://t.co/PYS2pAff8n

We have to fight back against a rogue prosecutor who is trying to take a presidential candidate off the campaign trail. It sabotages Missourians’ right to a free and fair election. Stay tuned.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Some takeaways from court today where we challenged Biden’s latest unlawful $500 billion student loan debt cancellation scheme: THREAD
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Today went well. The judge was engaged in our arguments. He said we could expect a ruling in the next few weeks.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
One of our biggest points to the Court: the Supreme Court ruled in June 2023 that Joe’s first student loan debt scheme was unconstitutional. 10 days later, he issued a Plan B in direct defiance of federal law. Then bragged about it.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Joe Biden has never been concerned with the rule of law. But the rule of law matters.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Today, Biden’s lawyers attempted to argue his newest student loan plan is completely different than the one the Supreme Court struck down last year. NEWSFLASH: It’s only different in that it costs taxpayers MORE. It’s still illegal.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Another point we made to the Court: This unconstitutional redistribution of wealth transfers Ivy League debt onto farmers, truckers, nurses, and teachers. It’s not only unlawful; it’s inherently unfair to those who paid off their debt or don’t have loans in the first place.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
I’m one of those Americans who paid for my education in blood, sweat and tears in service to my nation. This is personal for me.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
After all, “repay” means just that: to give back what is owed. Not for the President to unilaterally saddle working Americans with Ivy League debt.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
A policy question like student loan debt cancellation is something for Congress to decide. They’ve neglected to pass a bill doing so TWICE. The President cannot subvert Congress and do it himself.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Separation of powers exists for a reason. If the President gets to disregard the Constitution, our nation is at stake. It’s a threat to democracy.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Today, my team reminded @POTUS that no one is above the law.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey

/1 🚨BREAKING: After receiving reports of religious and race-based discrimination occurring in Missouri schools, I’ve ordered 3 school districts to immediately CEASE and DESIST discriminatory practices against their students and staff. THREAD:
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/2 I’ve received reports that Lindbergh School District has instituted a race-based criteria for students seeking to enter the gifted program.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/3 The program’s traditional pathway to entry requires a student to score in the 95th national percentile on at least one screener or standardized test (math or reading) and in at least the 85th percentile on the other.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/4 The school is allowing students who are part of an underrepresented racial or ethnic population to achieve standardized test scores in the 84th percentile on one test (math or reading) and in the 50th percentile on the other.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/5 The district’s policy states that its goal is to reach a 20% equity index for underrepresented student populations.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/6 If these reports are true, Lindbergh School District is discriminating on the basis of race, in direct violation of both state and federal law. I’ve put the district on notice.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/7 I’ve also received reports that Parkway School District is preventing students from forming religious-based clubs like Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/8 Reports indicate this includes prohibiting students from using the campus announcement system, hanging posters, or holding FCA meetings on campus.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/9 State and federal law prohibit religious discrimination in schools. I’ve put the district on notice.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/10 I’ve also received reports that Webster Groves School District has instituted race-based criteria for its employees and applicants.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/11 Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prevents an employer from refusing to hire, or otherwise discriminate, against employees or candidates because of their race.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/12 Classifying employees and applicants based on race and using this information to make hiring decisions would violate the law. I’ve put the district on notice.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/13 This is about protecting the constitutional rights of all Missourians to be free from discrimination.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
/14 As the chief legal officer for the State of Missouri, I am prepared to exercise my office’s full authority under the law to ensure no Missouri school district discriminates against its students or staff.

Enemies of free speech are attempting to kill X because they cannot control it, and we are not going to let Missourians be subject to fraud in the process.

🚨BREAKING: We have filed a brief to reverse the unconstitutional gag order against President Trump. The gag order stifles his ability to speak freely ahead of the 2024 presidential election and denies Americans the right to hear free debate from all presidential candidates.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
President Trump, like so many Americans, has been silenced on social media platforms for daring to be a political opponent of Joe Biden, and now they’re attempting to silence his right to speak at all.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
This blatant weaponization of the criminal justice system is inherently un-American and goes against the very soul of our great nation. I’m proud to stand with President Trump in this new front in the war for free speech.

@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
🚨BREAKING: We’ve just obtained an injunction against CISA, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, that blocks them from violating the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans. The order also applies to the White House, Surgeon General, CDC, and FBI.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
If you don't remember, the Fifth Circuit already handed down a court order blocking the Biden Administration from silencing disfavored viewpoints. CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency housed in DHS) was originally not included in the Fifth Circuit's order.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
We filed a motion asking the Fifth Circuit to include CISA in their court order blocking further First Amendment violations. It was granted.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
CISA is the “nerve center” of the vast censorship enterprise, the very entity that worked with the FBI to silence the Hunter Biden laptop story.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
When it comes to defending the Constitution, Missouri doesn't back down.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Joe Biden has promised to appeal to the United States Supreme Court. We look forward to defending your First Amendment rights at the nation's highest court.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
🚨BREAKING: The Fifth Circuit has upheld the district court’s order in our free speech case, Missouri v. Biden, enjoining the White House, Surgeon General, CDC, & FBI from violating the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The First Amendment remains intact.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The first brick was laid in the wall of separation between tech and state on July 4th, and this ruling is yet another brick.

@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Leftists seriously just indicted President Trump for tweeting and Mark Meadows for texting. This is precisely why Missouri is taking Joe Biden to task over his censorship regime. If the First Amendment goes, it all goes.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Today's oral argument in Missouri v. Biden proved what we've known all along: the Biden Administration has shamelessly and relentlessly coerced and colluded with social media platforms to censor free speech, Some highlights from the hearing:
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Biden’s lawyer seriously insinuated COVID caused a lot in the world to change, and thus, government censorship is permissible.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Biden's lawyer also said that Americans have not been harmed by the vast censorship enterprise emanating from the Biden White House. Every American who has had a post removed or deplatformed would beg to differ.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Biden's lawyer asserted that they have never once threatened social media companies into censoring free speech. He must be suffering from memory loss. Here's a recap:
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Joe Biden told reporters that "Facebook is killing people" because they originally refused to silence truthful information about the COVID vaccine.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Jen Psaki spouted from the WH podium that social media companies would lose their Section 230 immunity if they didn't work with the feds to remove disfavored speech.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
White House Digital Director Rob Flaherty told Twitter that “if your product is appending misinformation to our tweets that seems like a pretty fundamental issue”
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Flaherty used the F-word to convey his disgust to social media companies that Biden's Instagram account wasn't gaining followers after Meta's algorithm identified it as a spreader of vaccine misinformation. Can't make this up.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Quickly after these interactions, the social media companies' resistance to censor quickly crumbled.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Back to highlights of the hearing.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
One of the judges noted that the exchanges between the feds and the social media companies include "veiled and not-so-veiled threats" as the government "strongarms" the tech companies into censoring speech.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Another judge called out Biden's lawyer, noting that "You talk about these meetings [between the feds and social media companies] as if they're friendly."
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The judge also pointed out that when the federal government says jump, social media companies merely say "how high", seemingly due to the immense pressure to censor Americans' speech.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The same judge then asked Biden's lawyer if hypothetically, it matters if the federal government knowingly censors true speech if it disagrees with the government's narrative (i.e. COVID-19). The government unabashedly said, "No."
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Today's hearing was further proof that Joe Biden has zero respect for the Constitution.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
But Missouri is fighting back. He will not get away with this blatant First Amendment violation.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Stay tuned.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The federal government had a hard time convincing a judge last week that it hasn't been working with and coercing social media companies to censor free speech. Some notable moments from the first hearing in our First Amendment case, Missouri v. Biden:
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The judge asked the feds if they had ever read George Orwell’s 1984, pointing out the similarities between the case and the book.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The Court asked the feds if all the emails between them and social media companies were real because "it seems like there's a lot here." The feds were forced to admit the tens of thousands of pages of evidence are genuine.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The judge questioned the feds on several hypotheticals, asking if the First Amendment applied. He asked if an American citizen questioning the safety or efficacy of masks or a vaccine was protected under the First Amendment. The feds' answer? "It COULD be" but often won’t be.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
It’s worth remembering that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was limited by the CDC because of safety concerns. But the feds censored people for expressing concerns about safety.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The judge also asked Biden's lawyers if the First Amendment covered Americans' right to say that Biden is responsible for high gas prices and inflation. Their answer? It depends.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The judge also asked them if the First Amendment applied to Americans' right to say that the 2020 election was stolen. Their answer? It depends.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The judge also pointed out that it seemed to be only conservatives who are targeted for their speech, asking the feds if they could provide one example of a liberal who was censored due to "misinformation."
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The feds provided only one example of a liberal being censored, and that person is a political opponent of Joe Biden.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the Court asked the feds why he should believe them when they say they claim censorship has stopped and won’t happen again. And that is exactly why we are asking the Court for a preliminary injunction to halt this vast censorship enterprise.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
The federal government cannot be trusted to protect Americans' rights, which is precisely why our Founders enshrined the First Amendment into the Constitution.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
My office is doing everything it can to protect Americans' right to free speech, the very bedrock of our great nation.
@AGAndrewBailey - Attorney General Andrew Bailey
Stay tuned- this fight is far from over.
