META ORDERED TO PAY $567 MILLION FOR HARMING KIDS...

Read at politico.com →

A New Mexico court hit Meta with a $567 million judgment to repair the damage its platforms have done to children's mental health. Instagram and Facebook stand accused of fueling anxiety, depression, and addiction among minors. APP's push for age verification just got another massive data point: Big Tech knows exactly what it's doing to kids. Our February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 81% of voters back porn age verification with 66% strongly in favor — the hottest intensity in the survey. Time to wall this poison off.


DEMOCRATS VOTE DOWN AGE VERIFICATION — AND THANK BIG PORN...

Senate Democrats killed the age verification amendment and sent thank-you notes to the porn industry. APP has helped 24 states enact these protections. SCOTUS already upheld Texas's law 6-3. Our kids are being fed hyper-sexualized content that robs them of innocence. Age verification is the tool that works. Democrats just proved whose side they're on.


SOCIAL MEDIA IS LOBOTOMIZING CHILDREN...

APP on X: the platforms are rewiring young brains and stealing normal development. The New Mexico verdict is Exhibit A. Parents aren't asking for ideology — they want basic safeguards. 83% support app-store age verification across parties. This is the Protection-First Consensus voters keep demanding.

GOP SPLIT ON COLLEGE SPORTS BILL THREATENS HARD-WON BANS ON MEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS...

Read at Daily Wire →

The Senate votes today on a college sports bill, but key Republicans worry the language will undo protections in 27 states that banned biological men from women's sports. APP worked those 27 laws. Over 890 medals stolen from female athletes. 79% of Americans back the bans. Terry Schilling: "Girls should grow up knowing they can compete, train, and win without having to share a locker room or the podium with a man." APP is pressing Congress to amend the Protect College Sports Act with clean language from Sens. Hawley, Banks, and Tuberville. Sex is real. Fix the bill.

PAULA SCANLAN REACTS TO SABALENKA BACKING WOMEN'S SPORTS...

Paula Scanlan on Newsmax and on X: tennis star Aryna Sabalenka came out in support of protecting women's categories. The athletes who lived it keep telling the truth. APP helped flip the entire Republican Party on this — $65 million in ads, 27 state laws, and a national consensus. The fight isn't over.

ABDUL EL-SAYED MAINSTREAMS ISLAMIC NATIONALISM...

APP on X: Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is normalizing Islamic nationalism inside the party. This is the radicalism Democrats refuse to police. The party is more extreme than ever — and the 2028 contenders they're trying to polish can't hide it. Midterm stakes just got clearer.


DEMOCRATS STAND WITH BIG PORN AGAINST KIDS...

Senate Democrats voted to protect the porn industry and against age verification. APP's poll shows 81% of the country disagrees — with unmatched intensity. The Credentialed Left keeps choosing the Gender Industrial Complex and Big Porn over parents and children. Voters see it.

T.J. HOOVER WOKE UP AS THEY REMOVED HIS ORGANS...

MAHA Action with RFK Jr.: T.J. Hoover woke up on the operating table and grabbed the doctor’s hand — as his organs were being removed. HHS is taking drastic action to make America’s organ-donation system safer after procurement networks started harvests on patients still showing signs of life. Same horror we tipped with his sister’s testimony. “I’m not dead yet” isn’t a joke when it’s the operating room. Watch.

HE WEPT ON THE TABLE AS THEY PREPPED TO HARVEST...

Sister Donna Rhorer: her brother TJ was crying on the operating table, eyes tracking her, as doctors prepped to harvest his organs after a false brain-death declaration. Staff called it “reflexes.” During the heart cath he was thrashing, crying, grabbing doctors’ hands to make them stop. He lived — and sat in the audience weeping as she told it. Same week: RFK Jr.’s HHS decertifies Network for Hope (KY/OH/WV/IN) after investigators found organ-recovery processes started on patients still showing signs of life. Monty Python already wrote the script. Watch both.

WITHOUT CLEAR LAWS THE NCAA SIDES AGAINST GIRLS...

Terry Schilling: the NCAA has shown us time after time — without clear laws, it sides with radical transgender ideology over female athletes. That’s why APP is urging Congress to amend the Protect College Sports Act. Ambiguous language cannot be allowed to undermine the laws in 27 states or the Trump administration’s work protecting women’s sports. Sens. Hawley, Banks, and Tuberville just introduced the fix. APP fought with Riley Gaines, Paula Scanlan, and hundreds of state Republicans to pass those bans. Men don’t belong in girls’ sports, scholarships, or locker rooms. Sex is real. Fix the bill.

MAMDANI HAS BEEN THROUGH AT LEAST 4 ACCENTS...

Wall Street Mav: Zohran Mamdani has cycled through at least four accents in a few years — the clip stacks them. Always with the accents. The voice changes with the room; the politics stay DSA. Why are Democrats like this? Watch.

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.

LIVING STANDARDS SHOULD HAVE RISEN 10X SINCE 1950...

Roman Helmet Guy: living standards in America should have risen 10 times over since 1950 — look at the technology then vs. now. Instead the elite made every American worker compete with the whole world: manufacturing offshored to China, IT outsourced to India, and mass immigration from South and Central America. Result: everyone else’s living standards soared while yours fell — so the richest 1% from the richest generation could die a little richer. Family Brief exists for the other side of that ledger: kids protected, wages that can support a family, homes families can actually buy. Watch.

MARINE ONE CAME WITHIN A MILE OF A JET OVER D.C....

A helicopter carrying President Trump reportedly came within one mile of a passenger jet over Washington — NYT, via Unusual Whales. FAA and NTSB are investigating a “loss of separation” after Marine One left the Ellipse for Andrews while Reagan National traffic was still moving. After the January 2025 midair that killed 67, mixed helo/jet ops around DCA were supposed to stop. The president was never in danger, the White House says. The airspace still isn’t fixed. CNN →
