DC Forecast - Heat Tsunami
While the temperatures have been falling across the country, the Biden
Administration has been hit with a heat tsunami for doubling-down on
their radical gender agenda.
Last week, the House Judiciary Oversight Committee Hearing caught fire
when the Attorney General was asked questions about the Department of
Justice Memo deploying the FBI in every federal district.
Why did the DOJ want to deploy the FBI? Because parents are standing
up and speaking out against radical gender ideologies, critical race
theory, and more at their local school board meetings.

The DOJ Memo was issued after the National School Board
Association (NSBA) sent a letter to the White
House calling out concerned parents who stand
against radical ideologies. The NSBA
letter identified parents' actions as
"threats" and "equivalent to a form of domestic
terrorism."

Exchanges in the House hearing revealed alarming information on the
Biden-Harris Administration including:
* Ranking Member Jim Jordan highlighted the fact that the Attorney
General issued the DOJ Memo because of the National School Board
Association letter.

* Congressman Mike Johnson raised ethics concerns that the
Attorney General's son-in-law is financially benefiting
from selling critical race theory materials and conducting
alarming student surveys in school districts across the country.
Does he benefit from the DOJ memo that discourages parents from
speaking out against CRT? The Republican House Judiciary
Committee Members are determined to find out by calling for an
ethics inquiry.

* Congressman Chip Roy's questions revealed that parents
across the country were enraged from learning a father in
Loudoun County father was arrested defending his daughter at a
local school board meeting after his daughter became a victim of
sexual assault. But when Congressman Roy raised this in the
hearing, the U.S. Attorney General said he "d[idn't]
know any of the facts of this case."

The Attorney General's responses haven't aged well since
the NSBA Board now
says they "regret and apologize" for the
letter and several state school board associations
have distanced themselves from NSBA after the incident.
And members of the House Judiciary Committee have called for
Attorney General Garland to withdraw the memo.

But on Friday, the Biden-Harris Administration, completely tone-deaf,
released a new gender strategy document. The
42-page document, entitled "National Strategy on
Gender Equality and Equity" outlines the
Administration's promotion of a range of
liberal priorities- including transgender
policies - in schools, the workforce, and
international efforts. The document also promotes abortion and
the removal of the Hyde Amendment, meaning President Biden
wants to force taxpayers to pay for abortion.

Today, in a lively Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing, the Attorney
General received more questioning about the DOJ memo. Here are a few
highlights:
* Senator Marsha Blackburn (TN) discussed how outrageous it was
for parents to be compared to domestic terrorists. She also
explained how the DOJ Memo could be seen as intimidation from
the DOJ to cause parents to question going to their local school
board meetings.

* Senator Josh Hawley (MO)'s questioning exposed that after
the DOJ Memo was released, another memo went out from a
Department of Justice District Office listing 13 federal crimes
that parents could be prosecuted for, including "making
annoying phone calls."

* Senator John Kennedy (LA) exposed that the DOJ did not
investigate the incidents cited in the NSBA letter. Senator
Kennedy also explained how parents experienced a "chilling
effect" after reading the DOJ Memo.

* Senator Ted Cruz (TX) questioned the Attorney General about the
ethics concerns that the Attorney General's son-in law
financially benefits from the sale of curriculum of critical
race theory.
[link removed]
* Senator Mike Lee (UT) highlighted that state attorneys general
have stated they can handle issues at the state and local level
and the federal government does not need to get involved. Sen.
Lee also pointed out that the NSBA has apologized for their
letter, and none of the stories cited by the NSBA included death
threats. The Attorney General would not apologize for the DOJ
Memo.

Amid this crazy storm, one thing is clear: parents have a God-given
right to speak out and stand up for their children. And we will
continue to stand with them. But this will take a significant
investment of money and resources.
Will we let the left cancel parents' voices at school board
meetings, and even members of Congress, from daring to speak truth
about biological reality? Or, will we come together and push back?
Join us today in taking a stand against radical gender ideology coming
out of Woke DC that is now showing up in children's schools,
affecting their safety, and silencing their parents.
Your generous gift will help us know how aggressively we can fight
back against the political agenda spreading out of D.C.
