FAUCI HELD IN CONTEMPT — PASSES COMMITTEE 8-5...

Sen. Rand Paul: the resolution to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress passed the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee 8–5. Republicans carried it for the millions of Americans and families still living with the COVID years. He took the Fifth over a hundred times under subpoena. Accountability isn’t coming — it just cleared committee.

SENATE ADVANCES KOSA AS DEMOCRATS BLOCK AGE VERIFICATION...

Read at politico.com →

Senate Commerce Committee passed the Kids Online Safety Act out of committee yesterday. At the same time Democrats unanimously blocked the SCREEN Act’s age-verification measure for porn. APP has led the charge for age verification laws now in 24 states. SCOTUS upheld Texas’ law 6-3 in June 2025. Our February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 81% support for porn age verification — 66% strongly — the highest intensity of any issue tested. App-store verification hits 83% support across parties.

APP cited across coverage on both bills.


Sex Is Real

ANOTHER MAN IN A DRESS PLAYS MARY LINCOLN ON BROADWAY...

Read at Daily Wire →

A biological male will star as Mary Lincoln in the Broadway production running in the days leading up to Lincoln’s assassination. This follows the pattern APP has fought since 2015: sex is real, and erasing it in law, sports, and culture harms women and confuses kids. APP helped 27 states ban men from women’s sports and 26 states ban irreversible sex-change procedures on minors. Over 890 medals stolen from female athletes. 79% of Americans back these protections.

Sex cannot be changed. Girls should not have to share locker rooms or podiums with men.

TRANS REALITY TV STAR CHARGED WITH CHILD SEX CRIMES...

Read at Daily Caller →

Sidney Starr, a transgender reality TV personality, faces felony charges including alleged child sexual assault in Hapeville, Georgia. Police arrested the biological male for crimes against a juvenile. This comes as the Gender Industrial Complex pushes deeper into culture and medicine despite mounting evidence of harm. APP was first to take on transgender ideology in elections. Terry Schilling: “We can’t allow our kids to be sterilized and mutilated just so the Gender Industrial Complex can make a pretty penny. True love is stepping into our children’s lives and leading them to the truth: they are perfect just the way God created them.”

MIDDLE SCHOOLER NAMES THE BIGGEST THREAT TO HER GENERATION...

Read at Daily Wire →

A middle school girl lays out how social media and smartphones are rewiring her generation — hyper-sexualized content, lost innocence, constant comparison. APP’s push for age verification and app-store gates is built for exactly this. Our poll shows parents and voters are united: 81% want porn age verification at high intensity, 83% want app-store checks. The gender gap vanishes on child safety. These are kitchen-table protections, not ideology.

Terry: “Our kids are growing up in a digital world trying to rob them of their innocence. Age verification is an important tool.”


Capitol Hill

SUSAN COLLINS BLOCKS AG NOMINEE OVER PROMISE TO END MAIL-ORDER ABORTIONS...

Read at Daily Caller →

Sen. Susan Collins says she won’t vote to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General because he pledged to crack down on abortion pills by mail. Collins’ stand keeps Big Abortion’s pipeline open while pro-life majorities want enforcement. APP fights for the family as the bedrock — including the unborn. The Democratic Party grows more radical by the day, making every midterm seat higher stakes.


Meanwhile

DSA SURGING BECAUSE THE ECONOMY DOESN’T WORK FOR FAMILIES...

APP on X: Democratic Socialists of America gaining ground as voters feel the squeeze. Same week Democrats killed age verification while pushing more online exposure for kids. The Protection-First Consensus in our polling — 45% of the country — wants concrete action on child safety and family economics, not ideology. Home Savings Accounts poll at 77% support. That’s the opening.
