The American Federation of Teachers’ political activism, targeting companies in which its pension systems hold investments, may conflict with the duty of loyalty owed to its pension beneficiaries. Our Executive Director @WillHild is sounding the alarm:
🚨 One of the nation’s largest teachers, unions, @AFTunion (led by the infamous left-wing activist @RWeingarten), has made clear that political activism is its top priority — and that prioritization of politics, over the well being of its members, may have just landed Randi and her cronies in hot water 👇 Today, we’re calling on the Department of Labor to investigate whether @AFTunion is using its influence over teacher pension systems to advance a political agenda. Our belief is that @AFTunion’s political activism directly conflicts with the fiduciary obligations owed by public pension trustees (which the @AFTunion openly acknowledges it influences). There are a litany of examples of this. To name a few, @AFTunion and @RWeingarten have supported: - Pressure campaigns targeting firearm manufacturers - Fossil fuel divestment initiatives - Consumer boycotts against Target over its DEI policies - Threats of divestment from GM and Stellantis over union demands In 2025, Weingarten even demanded asset managers divest from Tesla, citing purely political concerns about @ElonMusk, claiming she was “safeguarding workers’ retirements.” (Tesla stock has increased by more than 40% since she made those comments.) It appears clear to us that union leadership is encouraging teachers and trustees to economically pressure companies that may also be generating returns for teacher retirement systems. We’re calling on @USDOL Acting Secretary @Sonderling47 to take a closer look to ensure that teachers’ retirement systems aren’t being used to push a political agenda.

We sounded the alarm on @ClevelandClinic’s sex change program for children. Now, @TheJusticeDept has forced the hospital to finally admit it and face the consequences. redstate.com/ben-smith/2026/…

Teachers’ pension systems shouldn’t be used to advance a political agenda. @AFTunion leadership is encouraging teachers and trustees to economically pressure companies based on their political motives. Our Executive Director @WillHild joined @NTDNews to break down this abrogation of pension fund trustees’ duty to focus on returns for beneficiaries.

Is America's 2nd largest teachers union trying to bend public pension funds toward their political goals? @ConsumersFirst urges the @USDOL to investigate if they are in a new letter. @DailyCaller New Foundation👇

No surprise Randi's obsession with activism extends beyond classrooms leaving students and teachers behind. Thanks @ConsumersFirst for raising concerns that teachers' retirement savings are a vehicle for AFT's political agenda, putting teacher's hard-earned dollars at risk.

🚨 @ClevelandClinic agreed to suspend transgender medical interventions as part of its settlement with @TheJusticeDept. We previously called out the hospital for targeting vulnerable children with radical gender ideology. theblaze.com/news/cleveland-…

This is huge for restoring fairness in hiring. Disparate impact liability has been used by bureaucrats and activists to push racial balancing over merit. President Trump first took a sledgehammer to disparate impact liability last year when he signed an EO dismantling the theory. Now, the Justice Department is taking the next step to ensure equal opportunities within the American workplace.
The Department of Justice has issued an opinion to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) that its guidelines about disparate-impact liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act are unconstitutional. The Office of Legal Counsel found that EEOC’s guidelines pressured employers to engage in racial discrimination. "Despite trying to promote equality, EEOC's disparate impact liability interpretation under Title VII actually fosters the very discrimination its guidelines seek to address," said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. "This opinion will now allow businesses to hire based on performance, restoring equal opportunities in the American workplace." 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

You mean the procedures they “don’t do?” Months ago, @JonesDay said claims that @ClevelandClinic performed child sex changes were “demonstrably false.”
Today @TheJusticeDept announced that Cleveland Clinic Foundation joined Texas Children’s Hospital in agreeing to cease performing sex-rejecting procedures on minors and provide detransition care to victims of these procedures.

NEW: Samsung and ExxonMobil are reincorporating their businesses in Texas. The two companies are the latest in a growing trend to move to pro-growth states like Texas that protect businesses from rogue woke actors like proxy advisors. 📺 @FoxNews

Samsung’s decision to reincorporate in a pro-growth state like Texas is a clear indictment of radical, business-crushing policies. Our Executive Director @WillHild on the move in the @DailyCaller ⬇️ “By making this sensible move, Samsung and other companies are demonstrating that they’re done being battered by far-left government hacks and woke Wall Street firms and will fight to put the interests of their investors and customers first.”
