1. THREAD: The Twitter Files, Part Six TWITTER, THE FBI SUBSIDIARY
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
2. The #TwitterFiles are revealing more every day about how the government collects, analyzes, and flags your social media content.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
3. Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
4. Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
5. Some are mundane, like San Francisco agent Elvis Chan wishing Roth a Happy New Year along with a reminder to attend “our quarterly call next week.” Others are requests for information into Twitter users related to active investigations.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
6. But a surprisingly high number are requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election misinformation, even involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
7. The FBI’s social media-focused task force, known as FTIF, created in the wake of the 2016 election, swelled to 80 agents and corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
8. Federal intelligence and law enforcement reach into Twitter included the Department of Homeland Security, which partnered with security contractors and think tanks to pressure Twitter to moderate content.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
9. It’s no secret the government analyzes bulk data for all sorts of purposes, everything from tracking terror suspects to making economic forecasts.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
10. The #TwitterFiles show something new: agencies like the FBI and DHS regularly sending social media content to Twitter through multiple entry points, pre-flagged for moderation.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
11. What stands out is the sheer quantity of reports from the government. Some are aggregated from public hotlines:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
12.An unanswered question: do agencies like FBI and DHS do in-house flagging work themselves, or farm it out? “You have to prove to me that inside the fucking government you can do any kind of massive data or AI search,” says one former intelligence officer.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
“HELLO TWITTER CONTACTS”: The master-canine quality of the FBI’s relationship to Twitter comes through in this November 2022 email, in which “FBI San Francisco is notifying you” it wants action on four accounts:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
14.Twitter personnel in that case went on to look for reasons to suspend all four accounts, including @fromma, whose tweets are almost all jokes (see sample below), including his “civic misinformation” of Nov. 8:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
15. Just to show the FBI can be hyper-intrusive in both directions, they also asked Twitter to review a blue-leaning account for a different joke, except here it was even more obvious that @clairefosterPHD, who kids a lot, was kidding:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
16. “Anyone who cannot discern obvious satire from reality has no place making decisions for others or working for the feds,” said @ClaireFosterPHD, when told about the flagging.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
17.Of the six accounts mentioned in the previous two emails, all but two – @ClaireFosterPHD and @FromMa – were suspended.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
18.In an internal email from November 5, 2022, the FBI’s National Election Command Post, which compiles and sends on complaints, sent the SF field office a long list of accounts that “may warrant additional action”:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
20. Twitter then replied with its list of actions taken. Note mercy shown to actor Billy Baldwin:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
21.Many of the above accounts were satirical in nature, nearly all (with the exceptions of Baldwin and @RSBNetwork) were relatively low engagement, and some were suspended, most with a generic, “Thanks, Twitter” letter:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
22.When told of the FBI flagging, @Lexitollah replied: “My thoughts initially include 1. Seems like prima facie 1A violation 2. Holy cow, me, an account with the reach of an amoeba 3. What else are they looking at?”
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
23.“I can't believe the FBI is policing jokes on Twitter. That's crazy,” said @Tiberius444.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
24.In a letter to former Deputy General Counsel (and former top FBI lawyer) Jim Baker on Sep. 16, 2022, legal exec Stacia Cardille outlines results from her “soon to be weekly” meeting with DHS, DOJ, FBI, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
25.The Twitter exec writes she explicitly asked if there were “impediments” to the sharing of classified information “with industry.” The answer? “FBI was adamant no impediments to sharing exist.”
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
26. This passage underscores the unique one-big-happy-family vibe between Twitter and the FBI. With what other firm would the FBI blithely agree to “no impediments” to classified information?
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
27.At the bottom of that letter, she lists a series of “escalations” apparently raised at the meeting, which were already “handled.”
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
28. About one, she writes: “Flagged a specific Tweet on Illinois use of modems to transmit election results in possible violation of the civic integrity policy (except they do use that tech in limited circumstances).”
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
29.Another internal letter from January, 2021 shows Twitter execs processing an FBI list of “possible violative content” tweets:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
30.Here, too, most tweets contained the same, “Get out there and vote Wednesday!” trope and had low engagement. This is what the FBI spends its time on:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
31. In this March, 2021 email, an FBI liaison thanks a senior Twitter exec for the chance to speak to “you and the team,” then delivers a packet of “products”:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
32.The executive circulates the “products,” which are really DHS bulletins stressing the need for greater collaboration between law enforcement and “private sector partners.”
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
33.The ubiquity of the 2016 Russian interference story as stated pretext for building out the censorship machine can’t be overstated. It’s analogous to how 9/11 inspired the expansion of the security state.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
34.While the DHS in its “products” pans “permissive” social media for offering “operational advantages” to Russians, it also explains that the “Domestic Violent Extremist Threat” requires addressing “information gaps”:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
35.FBI in one case sent over so many “possible violative content” reports, Twitter personnel congratulated each other in Slack for the “monumental undertaking” of reviewing them:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
36.There were multiple points of entry into Twitter for government-flagged reports. This letter from Agent Chan to Roth references Teleporter, a platform through which Twitter could receive reports from the FBI:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
37.Reports also came from different agencies. Here, an employee recommends “bouncing” content based on evidence from “DHS etc”:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
38.State governments also flagged content.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
39.Twitter for instance received reports via the Partner Support Portal, an outlet created by the Center for Internet Security, a partner organization to the DHS.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
40.“WHY WAS NO ACTION TAKEN?” Below, Twitter execs – receiving an alert from California officials, by way of “our partner support portal” – debate whether to act on a Trump tweet:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
41.Here, a video was reported by the Election Integrity Project (EIP) at Stanford, apparently on the strength of information from the Center for Internet Security (CIS):
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
42.If that’s confusing, it’s because the CIS is a DHS contractor, describes itself as “partners” with the Cyber and Internet Security Agency (CISA) at the DHS:
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
43.The EIP is one of a series of government-affiliated think tanks that mass-review content, a list that also includes the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Laboratory, and the University of Washington’s Center for Informed Policy.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
44.The takeaway: what most people think of as the “deep state” is really a tangled collaboration of state agencies, private contractors, and (sometimes state-funded) NGOs. The lines become so blurred as to be meaningless.
@mtaibbi - Matt Taibbi
45. Twitter Files researchers are moving into a variety of new areas now. Watch @BariWeiss, @ShellenbergerMD, and this space for more, soon.
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
🧵1/ The #IsraelPfizerDeal - REVEALED! The unbelievable story and the unimaginable concealment by the Israeli regulator - the MOH - of this vital information (!) from the Israeli public and the world. 🚨All 3 hidden agreements (still blacked out) finally revealed! >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
2/ This is a first public reveal of these documents: 1️⃣ CDA: Confidential Disclosure Agreement (July 12, 2020) 2️⃣ BTS: Binding Term Sheet (Nov. 13, 2020) 3️⃣ M&S: Manufacturing and Supply (Dec. 1, 2020) + 3 Amendments (2021) 4️⃣ Supplementary agreement (March 11, 2021) >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
3/ Background: In the Pfizer-Israel deal, at least 4 agreements were signed (+ many amendments), and it was, as you know, a unique deal that made Israel the world's research laboratory for a Pfizer product.
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
4/ The only document that has been officially disclosed to the public in this context so far has been 1 highly blacked out agreement that defines the research on the medical data of Israeli citizens, “dated as of 6.1.2021” (Agreement 1) https://govextra.gov.il/media/30806/11221-moh-pfizer-collaboration-agreement-redacted.pdf >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
5/ Only recently, as part of a very important petition submitted by Dr. Yosef Zarnik @Joseph_Zernik - through a response to a FOIA request and other issues that came up in the legal hearing - that you can read all about on @YaffaRaz’s article: https://rtmag.co.il/english/we-can%E2%80%99t-locate-a-signed-agreement-with-pfizer-did-the-netanyahu-government-and-the-israeli-moh-mislead-the-israeli-public-and-the-world-new-documents-reveal-%E2%80%93-the-deal-between-israel-and-pfizer-was-signed-before-their-covid-19-vaccine-even-received-emergency-use-authorization-from-the-fda >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
6/ It became clear to the public for the first time OFFICIALLY that the MOH recognizes the existence of a series of agreements surrounding this deal, starting in July 2020 (!) >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
7/ Still, the other 3 sealed and completely censored agreements were not given to the petitioner Zernik, and this petition had to be stricken in the end. Despite this, during the last hearing - the MOH made a hubris mistake >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
8/ They informed the Court that they refuse to discuss clauses of Agreement 1 (the research agreement) and reveal its redacted clauses - because this issue has already been discussed in a previous petition - this was the first time we learned of it. >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
9/ According to the Israeli MOH- Pfizer's position was then presented to the court, the balances against the public interests were examined and the judge's opinion rested there regarding redactions and censorship, therefore it should not be discussed again- in their opinion >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
10/ Let’s recap: the MOH relates to this previous petition as the one that “represents the public interest and balances” - but no documents from that legal procedure was ever revealed to the public by them, >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
11/ The brave lawyer that filed it was apparently exhausted from the court’s cooperation with the MOH’s censorship position, and thus went quiet, until: TODAY! - All 3 additional agreements and amendments will be revealed (of course censored heavily) >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
12/ Before I bring you the agreements here - I must point out the unethical reality in which the Israeli regulator (MOH) legally represents the position of the regulated company - Pfizer, vs. the public interest, rather than representing the public interest that they should. >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
13/ It was only after the court insisted that Pfizer’s lawyers filed a written document with their stand on the reveal of all agreements in full to the public, in which it states in general terms that >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
14/ the Israeli Ministry of Health is obligated according to Section 10.1 of the M&S agreement to maintain the confidentiality of the confidential clauses in the agreements - whether they represent a confidentiality interest of the MOH or a confidentiality interest of Pfizer, >> https://t.co/Ro6p40m3S0
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
15/ therefore Pfizer trusts the Israeli Ministry of Health and expects it to represent its interests in this petition. * Luckily we now have this section 10.1 (for the first time published) and this is what it says: https://t.co/zUrPZy0EQJ
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
16/ This unbelievable story of using a legal procedure to help silence every following attempt on on hand, and on the other - sealing it completely from public eye will be discussed much further, but for now, I bring you the documents: >>
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
17/ Israel-Pfizer Deal, the hidden agreements: ▶️ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1enberksK0ugFgE5Qv8cLV2hrJxfSZw-g/view?usp=drivesdk ▶️ https://drive.google.com/file/d/17qLHIeZmw9dcpweRDcOH4Lc84co8tRB_/view?usp=drivesdk
@GalG____ - Gal.G, Adv 🇮🇱
18/ Final note - this is a lot of new documents that we were completely unaware of, I only just received them. I haven't gone through them thoroughly yet, but I believe they need to be in the public sphere. There will be more to come on this.

2. My name is Andrew Lowenthal. For almost 18 years, I was Executive Director of @EngageMedia, an NGO devoted to protecting digital rights and freedoms. In recent years, I watched with concern and then despair as a dramatic change swept through my field.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
3. Organizations & peers began de-emphasizing freedom of expression, instead promoting surveillance & censorship to combat 'disinformation'. Here Automated Controversy Detection & the Center for an Informed Public boast of their online monitoring capabilities.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
4. I knew things were bad. When I started work on the #TwitterFiles, I learned: they're far worse. The Files show an uncanny alliance of academics, journalists, intelligence operatives, military personnel, government bureaucrats, NGO workers and more. Some I know personally.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
5. I had always understood "civil society" to mean "not the military." The former exists to check the latter. So I was shocked to see the depth of collaboration. For instance, "civil society" groups coordinating with Pentagon officials in an "election tabletop" exercise. Why?
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
6. Also startling: Twitter emails and Slack communications suggesting heightened levels of data access for the military. Or military contractors like Mitre being part of the Aspen Institute's "Information Disorder" report along with NGO and academic colleagues.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
7. In a functioning democracy there’s dynamic tension between government, civil society organizations, news media, and industry, all advancing their own interests, in theory keeping one another honest. In the #TwitterFiles we find them all working together, cartel-style.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
8. In the #TwitterFiles, tech firms collaborate with each other, and the state. Companies organize "IndustrySynch," "Industry comms," "pre-sync," and "Multi-Party Information Sharing," collaborating on a "whole range" of subjects, from election security to state-media labeling.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
9. Tech companies not only collaborate on content, they gather regularly for "private sector engagement" with the FBI, DOD, DHS, House and Senate Intel Committees, and others, each agency getting its own meetings:
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
10. Here Twitter staff ask for Twitter General Counsel (& former FBI Deputy General Counsel) Jim Baker's blessing for EIP and Virality Project partner Graphika to "inform their partners in USG 3-5 days before publication" of a report detailing Pentagon disinformation operations.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
11. Graphika receives money from the Pentagon, Navy, and Air Force, while simultaneously supporting human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Working with both the perpetrators & those representing the victims is very 2023.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
12. During the War on Terror the DHS was harshly criticized by progressives for civil rights violations and targeting of Muslims. Now DHS sub-entities like CISA work closely with progressive tech. Here Twitter warmly welcomes a DHS/CISA staffer's job application.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
13. Other DHS staff such as Matt Masterson become fellows at the Stanford Internet Observatory and work on the Virality Project's censorship of "true stories of vaccine side effects." The revolving door between academia, government, NGO's and BigTech is endless.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
14. As reported by @shellenbergerMD, The Aspen Institute combined WaPo, NYT, Rollingstone, NBC, CNN, Twitter, Facebook, Stanford, and "anti-disinfo" NGOs like FirstDraft to practice an oddly prescient "hack and leak" exercise on the Hunter Biden laptop BEFORE its release.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
15. When the Hunter Biden laptop story broke, the existence of the recent tabletop exercise became instant important news - but the journalists who’d attended stayed mum, perhaps granting off-the-record privileges to the organizers.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
16. "We totally blew it on our Burisma tabletop this summer — we didn't have Trump announcing "Lock him up" until day *nine* of the Burisma information operation" writes Garret Graff, the Aspen Institute’s Director of Cyber Initiatives.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
17. "LOL! Ok, off the record, what's our working theory here of what happened?" replies Noah Shachtman, current Rolling Stone Editor-in-Chief.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
18. Last week Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was alleged to have instigated the "Russian" "hack" letter signed by 50 former intel officials. At RightsCon, civil society's biggest digital rights event, Blinken spoke on 'disinformation' with Nobel Prize winner Maria Ressa.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
19. See how it works? The people accusing others of "disinformation" RUN the biggest disinformation campaigns themselves.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
20. Anti-disinformation conferences teem with Beltway journalists - the same names from the Post, Times, Atlantic, and NBC, over and over - but these proto-censorship workshops are often off the record, like defense or intel confabs. Reporters are participants, not adversaries.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
21. The scale of funding is similarly beyond shocking. Governments and foundations pour millions - one company alone reportedly won $979 million from the Pentagon - into "anti-disinformation" firms and NGOs.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
22. Craig Newmark is reported to have given more than $200m to journalism projects, (by another estimate $338m) including the founding funds for the Stanford Internet Observatory.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
23. Whether it's the ADL with election miscreants, the Alethea Group counting China-linked accounts "amplifying known right-wing figures," or the Atlantic Council monitoring "opposition activity" around the Iran deal, the NGOs make blacklists of wrongthinkers:
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
24. The #TwitterFiles are riddled with removal demands from opaque cut-out organizations like the Center for Countering Digital Hate, whose mysterious funding never troubles either Twitter execs or the reporters who transmit their demands.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
26. Industry folds, and all the people from these groups - the same names, over and over - get together for hors d'oeuvres at cozy conferences with NATO STRATCOM, the Center for European Policy Analysis, the Carnegie Endowment, etc. One big club.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
27. Here 12 Attorneys General ask Twitter to deplatform the 'disinformation dozen". Twitter jumps into action to help.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
28. Nor was I prepared to read bluntly Orwellian communications like Twitter's cheery "Visibility Filtering Year in Review" Newsletter, boasting of new innovations in "soft intervention" and the "Visibility Filtering Library."
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
29. More surprising was the violation of commonly held privacy values. Meedan (one of Twitter’s 4 main 'anti-disinformation' partners on Covid) had an Omidyar funded project called CryptoChat that advocated peering into private, encrypted messages to weed out "misinformation".
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
30. In a similar vein The Algorthmic Transparency Institute (a core Virality Project partner) conducted Stasi-style “civic listening” and “automated collection of data” from “closed messaging apps” to hunt down "problematic content" through its Junkipedia initiative.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
31. NGOs shill for corporate products. The Public Good Projects (a Twitter's COVID 'misinformation' partner) ran initiatives to "increase vaccine demand". @lhfang's #TwitterFiles revealed BioNTech sought Twitter's help to repress a vaccine equity campaign. https://theintercept.com/2023/01/16/twitter-covid-vaccine-pharma/ https://theintercept.com/2023/01/16/twitter-covid-vaccine-pharma/
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
32. The story of the #TwitterFiles and the Censorship-Industrial Complex (CIC) is really the story of the collapse of public trust in experts and institutions, and how those experts struck back, by trying to pool their remaining influence into a political monopoly:
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
33. In the #TwitterFiles we repeatedly see terms like "infodemic," "information pollution," and "information disorder," which express elite panic over the great technological explosion that has radically expanded the "contagion" of democratic participation.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
34. The Western "anti-disinformation" field, with its Government collaboration and calls for more state control over speech and expression, is betraying human rights activists around the world, who fight against online government repression.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects
35. Let's put the "non-government" back into NGO and defund the "anti-disinformation" industry. After all, the information control shoe will one day be on the other foot.
@NAffects - NetworkAffects

@OversightPR - Oversight Project
Unfortunately, the @FBI was able to play off the discrepancy between comments Speaker McCarthy made that a Committee in camera review would stave off a contempt vote versus Chairman Comer saying only custody of the document would. Congress needs to get this document and win. https://t.co/JmWlIl42Iu
@OversightPR - Oversight Project
Anything less would be a retreat and further kneecap Congressional oversight authority. The American people deserve more.
@OversightPR - Oversight Project
The reason why custody is important is that it will allow the Committee to decide whether to release the document in some format, and allow them to further the investigation by seeking additional testimony and documents.
@OversightPR - Oversight Project
Full custody prevents situations like the one we saw earlier this week where RM Raskin exited the SCIF and immediately misled the American people about the contents of the document. That seems to be part of the Democrat's playbook. Anyone remember Adam Schiff and Russiagate?
@OversightPR - Oversight Project
Custody will also prevent DOJ/FBI leaks from painting similarly false narratives in the media. This is an unclassified document and it belongs to the American people and their elected representatives--not behind closed doors in a SCIF.
@OlgaBazova - Olga Bazova
Yesterday Putin revealed an extremely important piece of information. In April 2022, an agreement of permanent neutrality of ukraine was signed between Russia and ukraine. It also reveals that the Western narrative that Putin can't be trusted is just another projection.🧵
@OlgaBazova - Olga Bazova
The basic outline of the agreement is as follows: 1. Russia withdraws troops from Kiev, Sumy and Chernigov 2. ukraine declares neutrality 3. ukraine reduces its armed forces 4. ukraine gives up NATO aspirations in exchange for security guarantees from a number of countries.
@OlgaBazova - Olga Bazova
The countries in question are the UK, the US, Turkey, France, China and Belarus. But what happened next will most likely go down in history as the beginning of an end of ukraine as we know it. Russia did indeed withdraw its troops, which was joked about as a gesture of goodwill.
@OlgaBazova - Olga Bazova
It was coined as the defeat of Russia in the battle of Kiev. It turns out that it was indeed a gesture of goodwill. Having snuffed it out, Boris Johnson flew to meet with Zelensky who subsequently, "on the orders of Washington, threw this treaty into the dustbin of history."
@OlgaBazova - Olga Bazova
From this moment on the escalation curve steepens to the state of no return for ukraine as the West seems to have promised a slew of wonder weapons and unlimited support to ukraine to defeat the pesky Russians once and for all.
@OlgaBazova - Olga Bazova
Since even before the conflict we've been hearing weasels like Paul Massaro and McFaul scream at the top of their lungs that Russia cannot be trusted and Russia always lies. But as we can see here the reality is quite different and it's the West and ukraine that constantly lie.
@OlgaBazova - Olga Bazova
The bloodthirsty psychopath leaders of the West wanted Russian blood so much that they sacrificed an entire nation to satisfy their thirst for Russian blood and exposed themselves to once again be cynical hypocrites and now they too are paying the price.
@OlgaBazova - Olga Bazova
The former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett has also confirmed that peace talks have been derailed by the Western leaders. https://www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/current/russia_ukraine-peace_blocked_western_powers_naftali_bennett_mediationraeli-prime-minister-claims/

/1🚨BOMBSHELL LAWSUIT — As concerns grow over the intelligence community’s (IC) interference in the 2024 election, we just sued the FEC for illegally permitting the Biden campaign to collude with the IC in the 2020 election, a blatant violation of campaign finance laws. THREAD:
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/2 Yesterday, we sued the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for refusing to charge Biden For President, the Biden Victory Fund, the Biden Action Fund, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after they failed to report direct and indirect contributions and coordinated communications made in connection with the infamous and debunked “Letter of 51” to the FEC. https://aflegal.org/america-first-legal-petitions-the-federal-election-commission-to-investigate-the-biden-campaign-and-dnc-for-failing-to-disclose-its-coordination-of-the-intelligence-communitys-debunked/
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/3 On October 19, 2020, 51 anti-Trump former IC officials issued a public statement decrying reports of a Hunter Biden laptop that contained debilitating information about presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son as “Russian disinformation.” https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000175-4393-d7aa-af77-579f9b330000
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/4 As AFL reveals in today’s lawsuit, the public statement was drafted by Michael Morrell at the request of Biden campaign staffer (and now Secretary of State) Anthony Blinken.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/5 This statement was then used by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden during the October 22, 2020, presidential debate against Donald Trump.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/6 The facts revealed in AFL’s lawsuit show that the public statement by the 51 former intelligence officials was not only incubated by the Biden campaign but was also used to generate earned media for candidate Biden.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal

/1🚨🗣️EXCLUSIVE — FOREIGN COLLUSION TO CENSOR AMERICAN SPEECH: New docs from litigation against the CDC reveal the Biden-Harris White House hosted the “Counter Disinformation Unit” from the U.K. gov’t in 2021 to learn about their recommendations to censor speech. 🧵THREAD:
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/2 As a part of the NSC’s regular interagency meetings on censoring COVID-related speech in the United States, the White House hosted the Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) from the U.K. government in 2021 to learn about their most effective censorship techniques.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/3 This meeting was attended by high-level staff from: 🚨White House 🚨NSC 🚨CIA 🚨FBI 🚨State Department 🚨Treasury 🚨Department of Defense 🚨Homeland Security 🚨Health and Human Services 🚨USAID 🚨Global Media 🚨Office of the Director of National Intelligence as well as high-ranking officers in the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/4 At this meeting, the CDU outlined how they have been censoring the British public, and these documents expose how left-wing authoritarian governments across the globe are working together to attack free speech.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/5 During the censorship meeting, the Biden-Harris NSC invited the British government to share its censorship playbook. They recommended: 🚨Creating a dedicated hub to lead government-wide censorship efforts 🚨Passing legislation to enable the government to coerce social media companies 🚨Enlisting the Department of State to partner with foreign allies and multilateral institutions to coordinate the global censorship agenda Keep reading…
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/6🚨A centralized hub to lead government-wide censorship efforts: The Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) is a British “cross-departmental” body that coordinates censorship programs across the whole of the British government. They “support formulation of a coordinated Government response” to the “threat” of misinformation (anything the government deems false).
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/7 The CDU coordinates the British censorship program with private companies such as social media platforms and non-profits. The CDU includes components of the U.K.’s foreign policy apparatus, domestic and foreign intelligence services, and individuals working directly for the Prime Minister in the Cabinet Office’s National Security Unit.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/8 Our separate litigation previously uncovered that the Biden-Harris Admin convened similar public-private censorship partnerships in the U.S. well into 2024.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/9 Around election time, the CDU stood up a “Central Election Cell” to kick censorship efforts into overdrive.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/10 During the U.S. 2022 Midterm elections, the Biden-Harris Administration similarly set up a National Election Command Post within the FBI.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/11🚨Enacting censorship laws In the meeting, the CDU shared how their proposal would allow them to directly coerce social media platforms to ensure that the government’s censorship demands were followed. By creating a new duty of care, the proposed legislation empowers a British regulatory agency to demand the censorship of content that the U.K. government deems harmful.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/12 The U.K. Online Safety Act came into force in October of 2023 and is the basis under which U.K. law enforcement officials have threatened to extradite and jail U.S. citizens.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/13 The law parallels recently resurfaced comments made by then Senator Kamala Harris in 2019, which called for the DOJ to punish social media companies that allowed “disinformation” and “misinformation.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/14 One of our separate investigations confirmed that the Biden-Harris White House solicited policy recommendations from the British-based Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH)—the group behind the U.K. Online Safety Act—and adopted commitments to hold companies accountable through DOJ prosecutions and FTC enforcement actions for allowing “online harassment” on their platforms.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/15🚨Establish regular lines of communication between government and social media platforms The CDU also relies heavily on “trusted flagging relationships.” Effectively, this means when the government directs social media companies to censor specific posts and individuals. This behavior of flagging posts led us to initially file the lawsuit, which resulted in the production of these documents and is at the heart of the Missouri v. Biden case, in which we filed two key Amicus Briefs on behalf of dozens of members in the House of Representatives.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/16 Prior doc releases we obtained in this litigation revealed that the Biden-Harris admin had also engaged in this sort of “trusted relationship” partnership with social media companies even before this meeting.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/17🚨International government pressure The presentation appears to show that the U.K. government engages its foreign policy apparatus to further its censorship agenda and encouraged the U.S. to do the same. One of the so-called “significant benefits” of this approach would be, according to the presentation, that this unified front of government pressure would “encourag[e] cooperation from platforms.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/18 The U.K. Foreign Office and the U.S. Department of State appear to play important similar roles in this international government censorship partnership. By coordinating across left-wing authoritarian governments, they can manipulate the global population into believing that there is no alternative to massive government censorship of social media, and “industry” would “efficiently implement[] new systems and processes.” In 2021, the U.K. boasted of a close working relationship with the U.S., Australia, and Canada, as well as bilateral relationships with 20 additional countries. This begs the question: how many nations have come on board with this initiative by now?
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/19 The CDU presentation also highlights the role of multilateral institutions in this international engagement, specifically identifying the G7’s Rapid Response Mechanism and the United Nations Interagency Platform on Culture for Sustainable Development (IPCSD) under the heading: “Multilateral cooperation to counter disinformation.” The logos of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the International Criminal Court (ICC), and the European Center for Excellence of Countering Threats are visible under the heading, “International training and capability.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/20🚨Promote leftist dogma Part of the U.K. government’s presentation included a description of a U.K. initiative called the “Counter Disinformation and Media Development Programme,” which was active in Eastern Europe from 2016 to 2021. According to their “Theory of Change,” one of the outcomes of this scheme was that the targeted populations would “reduce identification with pre-existing social biases” and increase “support for gender equality” and “liberal democratic values.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/21 These terms may sound innocuous, but in practice, they are covers for left-wing social re-engineering experiments. For instance, money from the CDMD Programme was used to fund the “Global Disinformation Index,” which runs an “advertising blacklist” for websites that they allege push “anti-trans narratives.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/22 These slides expose the Biden-Harris Administration’s cooperation with ideologically aligned leftist allies to push woke progressive dogmas while monitoring and censoring what Americans think and say.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/23 This release comes on the heels of calls from House Cybersecurity Subcommittee Chairwoman, @RepNancyMace, to ensure that the 2024 election is protected from the deep state censorship that was prevalent in the 2020 election.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal

🚨Please, Maricopa County Recorder @stephen_richer, can you tell us how attorney Sambo Dul was representing you and SoS Katie Hobbs and States United before the 2022 General Election? Court Document Alleges: "Ms. Bo Dul left her position with the Secretary of State's Office in June of 2022, and joined States United Democracy Center (SUDC). As counsel for SUDC, Ms. Bo Dul represented Governor elect Katie Hobbs in her election challenge beginning in December of 2022. Ms. Bo Dul then went to work for Governor Hobbs as General Counsel for the Governor in January of 2023. Defendant Richer's email of July 31, 2022, was an abuse of the Recorder's authority. No provision in the U.S. or Arizona constitutions designates the County Recorder as the Minister of Information or otherwise entitle the County Recorder to censor speech and serve as the gateway to the First Amendment during a statewide election or otherwise. As this email was obviously in possession of an attorney who had recently run the State's election apparatus and was apparently working on behalf of Katie Hobbs gubernatorial campaign, it is imperative that the people of the State of Arizona be able to see what communications were taking place by those with state power or the semblance thereof in the midst of the 2022 election cycle aimed at censoring conservative speech. It has been reported that SUDC is responsible for the memo outlining how to bring criminal charges against Donald Trump's Arizona electors in the runup to the 2024 Presidential Election for which it has been reported SUDC was paid by the U.S. Department of State."

CLOSED BORDER: @RealTomHoman should issue a nationwide "preservation of records" notice to all schools immediately. A Democrat-aligned law firm in Maine is reportedly advising schools to destroy immigration records and cease their collection, deliberately obstructing federal immigration officials from enforcing U.S. immigration laws. Advising a school district to destroy records of students present illegally constitutes a clear violation of federal laws and the ethical standards governing the legal profession. Federal statutes such as 18 U.S.C. § 1519 expressly criminalize the destruction of documents intended to obstruct federal investigations, and 8 U.S.C. § 1324 prohibits acts that shield unauthorized immigrants from detection, which could include the destruction of relevant records. Lawyers who counsel or assist in such acts directly contravene their ethical obligations under Rule 1.2(d) of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which prohibits aiding clients in illegal or fraudulent conduct. Moreover, under Rule 8.4, such behavior is considered professional misconduct, as it involves dishonesty and impedes the administration of justice. By providing this advice, the lawyers are not merely passive participants; they actively enable and facilitate illegal conduct, violating their duty as officers of the court to uphold the rule of law and undermining public trust in the legal system. Such actions are not only ethically indefensible but expose the lawyers to severe legal consequences, including criminal liability, disbarment, and reputational harm. Perhaps @PamBondi might be interested in this case...

Pub Ed Thread 🧵 I need to get this off my chest, so I will start with a few pictures. Photo 1 - On February 24, @DeAngelisCorey came to Dallas to debate the School Choice issue on a panel with me and @AllenWest and @NateSchatzline. Photo 2 - The following evening, Corey debated my friend Meg Bakich in Highland Park. Photo 3 - After the debate, I was sitting in the living room with some of my fellow warriors @AngelaBlac8824 and @Hollie_Plemons when a man approached us. We asked him what he thought about the debate and he said he was hosting the two Public Education Committee Chairs @BradBuckleyDVM and @CreightonForTX for dinner at his home in Highland Park the following Saturday evening, March 1, including my state representative @MorganMeyerTX. Photo 4 - Chairs Buckley and Creighton I do not know if Morgan Meyer was in attendance or if this man was just blowing smoke. I should have asked him if Commit/Texas Impact Network founder Todd Williams would be at the dinner. The man walked home from the debate to go smoke cigars. So I did a little sleuthing to figure out who he was…
@lynnsdavenport - Lynn Davenport
2) 🧵 I just realized the mystery man was featured in this article from @timmytyper so I guess it’s no secret who he is. https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2019/01/the-most-politically-active-children-in-dallas/ He’s a Dallas lawyer and former state district judge. He is tight with a Democrat named Todd Williams who has an Uplift charter school named after him in Dallas. Williams has been appointed to four education boards and commissions under Governor Greg Abbott. “No Dem chairs!” 🤣 @lukemaciastx I get attacked by the left for being a Trumper and attacked from the right for being anti-reform and anti-privatization. At the top, these guys are in the same party. #uniparty What’s the deal with @UpliftEducation and the bills for charter school funding like @BradBuckleyDVM’s HB2 this session? Is that why Buckley and Creighton were invited to that special dinner in Dallas just days before the HB2 hearing?
@lynnsdavenport - Lynn Davenport
3) 🧵 I went back to look at who the invited testimony was at Bad Bill Buckley’s hearing Tuesday March 4, which was just a few days after the private dinner at the Uplift board member’s house in Highland Park. Of course! Uplift CEO Yasmin Bhatia was on the invited panel, as well as Commit/Texas Impact Network lobbyist and @dallasschools trustee Ben Mackey. Kind of feels like the system is stacked against us taxpayers. I had to show up on Thursday with the general public to get my 2 minutes of testimony against HB2. @GinaForAustin - this is why your DOGE bill HB5419 is so important 👀
@lynnsdavenport - Lynn Davenport
4) 🧵 Bad Bill Buckley’s bill HB2 is dubbed the “school finance” bill that is supposed to pump $20B into our schools That’s a ruse… They throw pennies at the basic allotment and BILLIONS in boondoggles for the reformsters from Big D. I testified against HB2 on March 6 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 https://youtu.be/YKgwtlIWzJQ?si=A5eqoN_ca_Z5Ykfs
@lynnsdavenport - Lynn Davenport
5) 🧵 Much like the public schools, charter schools are declining in enrollment so they want to harness more cash from the government. Charter schools are real estate deals at the core. They get sweet deals on the land and run them until the land appreciates and they can sell at a premium. Take this recent Uplift property purchase for an undisclosed amount from New York investors 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸 https://lakewood.advocatemag.com/uplift-education-relocates-to-far-east-dallas-following-new-york-investor-purchase/

6) 🧵 Follow @TX_Transparency for great interviews with Greg Cooper on how school funding works.

7) 🧵 Texas Transparency Project also hosted Bad Bill Buckley @BradBuckleyDVM who chairs the House Public Education Committee and is the “Author” of HB2 The ghostwriter of HB2 was Todd Williams but Buckley would never admit that. Williams donated to Buckley’s campaign, as well as @CreightonForTX who chairs the Senate Education Committee. https://youtu.be/09K35nO5hJg?si=90bPENBkoI6yHYYq
@lynnsdavenport - Lynn Davenport
8) 🧵I could write a book on this privatization agenda. Dallas is where the reform movement took root after Kennedy was shot from the 📕 building and LBJ was sworn in to later pass the first FedEd bill ESEA. Todd Williams is carrying the torch 🔥 left by other reformsters like @Kress_Sandy who used to sit on the DISD board in Morath’s seat, the D2 business money seat. Bush and Kress worked to pass NCLB. In this Lakewood Advocate article Williams said: God help our city,” Williams says. “I knew that I had to talk to them in a language that they spoke, and that was data.” He joined the board of Uplift Education, the largest charter network in Texas, and made a generous donation that led Uplift to open a namesake school, Williams Prep, in 2007. After years on the board, Williams concluded that “we can grow Uplift 25 percent a year, and it will take us 25 years to have the impact Dallas ISD could make.” “The solution is traditional public schools, and that’s how I spend my time,” he says. But to people who distrust him, he says, “I think they just look at me and see the surface. They see a rich white North Dallas guy who worked at Goldman Sachs.” https://lakewood.advocatemag.com/dallas-isd-board-trustees-education-reform/
@lynnsdavenport - Lynn Davenport
9) 🧵 The great hypocrisy from @CreightonForTX is that we going to ban DEI in Texas education while he and Buckley carry the water for DEI king Todd Williams. Literally, his nonprofit @Commit2Dallas is driven by DEI and he even hired my former @RichardsonISD superintendent @3jstone to be his Equity Evangelist. Now RISD is pushing for a $1B bond and one of his employees Chelsea Jeffery is on the RISD Bond Committee. Current RISD superintendent Tabitha Branum was the one who signed our “data sharing agreements” with Commit. Williams and Morath are the chief student data harvesters in Texas.
@lynnsdavenport - Lynn Davenport
10) 🧵 Todd Williams donated to my school board opponent back in 2017. Can’t blame him! Can you imagine if I won and exposed his agenda to privatize the public education system with for-profit charters, high-stakes testing contracts, vendor deals, and consultants seeking access to the $90B trough??? My opponent works for a Gates-funded public-private partnership called Educate Texas/Communities Foundation of Texas in some vague data analytics role. @teainfo has paid Commit $11M in public money and Gates Foundation has paid them $30M. Basically the Gates Foundation pays Commit to implement Gates reforms. So a lot of the merit pay (TIA) push and the nonsense that Todd pushes is really Bill Gates. Williams was the highest donor to the RISD Vote Yes! TRE Tax Hike PAC in 2018. Damn.

/1🚨BREAKING — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified the Biden Administration’s top-secret surveillance and censorship strategy — exposing a chilling plan to weaponize the intelligence apparatus against the American people. 🧵👇 https://t.co/su5GUkL3Ym
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/2 On April 2, AFL formally urged @DNIGabbard to declassify the Biden Administration’s classified domestic surveillance and censorship strategy — a top-secret plan AFL uncovered through litigation against the Department of Homeland Security.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard /3 This week, in direct response to AFL’s request, DNI Gabbard declassified and released the Biden Administration’s top-secret surveillance and censorship strategy.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard /4 This thread breaks down the Biden Administration’s once-classified plan to surveil Americans and censor free speech in the United States.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard /5 In 2021, without any evidence, the Biden Administration declared that the greatest threat to Americans was “right-wing domestic terrorism” from supporters of President Trump.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/6 The Biden Administration’s classified surveillance strategy directed the State Department, FBI, DOJ, and CIA to “obtain from foreign partners foreign intelligence and information related to U.S.-based violent extremism.” In other words, the Biden Administration planned to outsource surveillance of Americans to foreign governments.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/7 As a subset of that strategic goal, the Biden Administration asked the FBI, CIA, DHS, and the State Department to study how disinformation relates to the “domestic terrorism threat” — connecting the whole-of-society censorship program to the national security and intelligence apparatus.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard /8 The Biden Administration’s classified censorship and surveillance strategy pushed for “information sharing across all levels,” including with “state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement partners.” https://t.co/Jo3EY7I3RG
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard /9 The left supports maximum information sharing with law enforcement to label conservatives as domestic terrorists… But if a local sheriff wants to work with ICE to turn over a murderous illegal alien, communication is prohibited because of “sanctuary” policies.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/10 The classified censorship and surveillance strategy also calls for funding for “digital literacy programming.” Despite the domestic scope of this plan, the Biden Administration tapped the State Department and USAID to produce “digital literacy programming” to “combat misinformation” online.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard /11 As @MikeBenzCyber has shown, “digital literacy” is when organizations — such as NewsGuard — approve certain publications as “trustworthy” and then suppress “non-trustworthy” sources as “misinformation.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/12 This classified strategy contains numerous parallels to documents from AFL’s #DeepStateDiaries, including the revelation that the “intelligence experts” group, led by John Brennan and James Clapper, suggested that DHS use people’s military and religious affiliations as indicators that they could be domestic terrorists.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /13 The left tried to use this same tactic to smear now-Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, before his confirmation, suggesting he could be a white supremacist for having a tattoo of a cross. https://t.co/s4BQ5wMd45
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /14 On the left is an excerpt from the classified plan from 2021. On the right is an excerpt from the DHS meeting minutes from 2023. They are the same playbook. https://t.co/wj4cEzrRDJ
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /15 The Biden Administration’s classified surveillance plan also appears to be the beginning of its push to label all domestic terrorists as “right wing” and threats to “public health.” https://t.co/hxhT2acDOF
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /16 Two years later, in a DHS “intelligence experts” group meeting, an unidentified member said this public health reclassification was important, so that mothers and teachers would feel more comfortable turning in their kids to authorities.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/17 The Biden Administration’s classified censorship and surveillance strategy makes clear that the administration meant it when it said this was a “whole-of-government approach.” The same concepts and buzzwords throughout this implementation plan are used repeatedly in documents from the DHS “intelligence experts” group, which AFL sued and successfully disbanded.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /18 The Biden Administration’s classified censorship and surveillance strategy outlines a plan to “share transnational approaches, good practices, and lessons learned” with “multilateral” meetings and “foreign government[s].” https://t.co/4ve0Ei2THu
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /19 AFL exposed that the Biden Administration hosted the UK Government’s “Counter Disinformation Unit” in 2021 to share its recommendations to censor speech with the White House during a meeting with the National Security Council.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /20 The Biden Administration’s classified censorship and surveillance strategy also emphasizes the importance of “increasing faith in democracy and the government,” another recurring theme in documents released in AFL’s #DeepStateDiaries. https://t.co/PnFFyIT3zH
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /21 Two years later, Brennan and Clapper’s “intelligence experts” group discussed how DHS could “quietly make democracy work” and use covert messaging campaigns to get the American public to feel certain ways about issues. https://t.co/MD6yYF6LEF
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /22 The Biden Administration’s classified censorship and surveillance plan also calls for maximum law enforcement action against domestic terrorism crimes. https://t.co/OEtvzkAzAa
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /23 Domestic terrorists — like those setting fire to Tesla dealerships, burning governors’ mansions, and engaging in political violence — should absolutely be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /24 This top-secret plan was created by the same administration that released the infamous October 4 DOJ memo labeling concerned parents at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /25 The same administration that labeled Trump supporters as domestic terrorists — while turning a blind eye to pro-Hamas vandals and rioters in cities and on college campuses across the country, actively spewing hatred, engaging in violence, and supporting actual terrorists.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /26 The Biden Administration weaponized the entire intelligence apparatus — the NSC, ODNI, CIA, FBI, DOJ, and the State Department — to target, censor, and silence the very people it was responsible for protecting.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
@DNIGabbard @MikeBenzCyber /27 AFL will continue fighting to expose and dismantle the left’s weaponization of our intelligence community against the American people.
