The Federalist on X: Federalist CEO Sean Davis: No party in the Lindsay Clancy trial is arguing anything other than that Lindsay killed her own children. Yet you have people…
BIOLOGICAL MALE IN CIA WHINES ABOUT TRUMP 2.0 FIRING HIM...
A biological male who transitioned on the job during Trump’s first term is crying injustice after the second Trump administration showed him the door. Mike Pence reportedly affirmed the man’s “transition to a woman.” The story is buzzing through elite Washington but landing with a thud everywhere else.
Americans stopped buying the Trans Industrial Complex’s intimidation routine years ago. APP was first in the fight — starting in 2015 — and proved voters reject gender ideology in civil rights law. That pressure helped 26 states ban irreversible sex-change procedures on minors. Trump 2.0 learned the lesson: no more protecting troubled men in the bureaucracy just to dodge bad headlines.
ACLU BACKS TRANS PEDOPHILE SUING INDIANA FOR TAXPAYER-FUNDED SURGERIES...
The ACLU is representing a transgender pedophile in prison and demanding Indiana taxpayers cover his sex-change surgeries. This is the same crowd that calls basic sanity “bigotry.”
Sex is real. Sterilizing and mutilating minors — or forcing prisoners to get these procedures at public expense — is not health care. It’s the Gender Industrial Complex cashing in. APP helped pass protections in 26 states because true love for kids means telling them they are perfect the way God created them.
SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL THROWS $330K AT ‘TRANS REFUGEES’...
Seattle’s City Council just redirected $330,000 to support “trans refugees.” Priorities in one of America’s most dysfunctional cities: biological men playing dress-up over basic public safety or family affordability.
This is the Democratic Party more radical than ever. While parents fight to keep gender ideology out of schools and locker rooms, blue-city machines keep writing checks to the same ideology that stole 890+ medals from female athletes across 27 states where APP helped ban men from women’s sports.
TRANS ACTIVISTS TELL DEM CONGRESSMAN TO SHUT UP AND OBEY...
Trans activists crashed a town hall and ordered Democratic Rep. Eugene Vindman to “shut up and listen” after he voted with Republicans on a bill protecting kids from gender ideology in schools.
Even supposed moderates are getting eaten by their own base. The Democratic Party is more radical than ever — and the 2028 contenders D.C. is trying to polish can’t hide it. That makes the midterm stakes crystal clear.
TRUMP APPROVAL HITS 33% IN REUTERS POLL...
President Trump’s approval rating dropped to 33% according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll — his lowest of the presidency.
Midterms are coming fast. Democrats are counting on the radicalism of their base while pretending otherwise. APP’s polling shows voters want concrete protection for kids and families, not more culture-war experiments.
DOJ DEPLOYS 1,000 POLL MONITORS FOR MIDTERMS...
The Justice Department is sending roughly 1,000 poll monitors to watch this fall’s elections. Democrats in Michigan already griped the monitors might “interfere” with their primary — then admitted they behaved professionally.
80% of Americans, including huge majorities of Democrats, support basic reforms like the SAVE Act. The monitors are a patchwork substitute for real integrity laws Democrats keep blocking. Election security is not optional.
META KIDS-SAFETY TRIAL OPENS TODAY...
Opening arguments begin today in the landmark lawsuit holding Meta accountable for harming kids online.
APP has led the charge for age verification on porn and app stores. Our February 2026 Cygnal poll (n=1,048) found 81% support for porn age verification — with a staggering 66% strongly in favor — and 83% support for app-store verification that’s nearly identical across parties. Kids are being robbed of their innocence. These laws are the fix.
GOP REP CALLS FOR ETHICS PROBE OF MCKINSEY OVER FAKE DEI STUDIES...
Freshman Rep. Brandon Gill is demanding an Ethics Committee investigation into McKinsey & Co. for “plainly illegal” DEI practices and bogus studies.
The credentialed left’s favorite consulting giant pushed the same dogma that infected everything from women’s sports to corporate boardrooms. Time to end the racket.
HOME BUILDER CONFIDENCE SINKS ON ENERGY COSTS, HIGH RATES, AND HOUSING CRUNCH...
U.S. home builder sentiment remains muted as affordability pressures, high interest rates, and rising energy costs bite. 35% of builders reported cutting prices in August, according to the NAHB.
The American family is getting squeezed out of the housing market the credentialed class helped break. APP is pushing Home Savings Accounts — 77% of voters support them in our February poll, with strong backing that beats total opposition nearly 4-to-1. Pair that with age verification on kids’ online safety and you have the kitchen-table agenda voters actually want.

TERRY ON THE AD WARS, WNBA SHIRT REVERSAL, AND BALLROOM LAWFare...
Terry Schilling hit multiple outlets this week defending Ken Paxton’s fight to protect baby Gabriel from California surrogates, forcing WNBA activists to flip their pro-girls-sports shirts, and calling out the latest lawfare.
Girls should grow up knowing they can compete, train, and win without sharing a locker room or podium with a man. That fight started with APP in 2019 and became the entire Republican playbook by 2024.

The Federalist on X: Federalist CEO Sean Davis: No party in the Lindsay Clancy trial is arguing anything other than that Lindsay killed her own children. Yet you have people online claiming they have "secret knowledge" to the contrary. This inability to discern basic facts is a bizarre "bipartisan" trend indicative of a "total spiritual breakdown."
