TEXAS BECOMES SECOND STATE TO FORCE APP STORE AGE VERIFICATION...

Read at msn.com →

Texas just made it law: app stores must verify ages before handing kids access to the internet's worst corners. APP's February Cygnal poll shows 83% of Americans back this — 86% of Republicans, 80% of Democrats, 81% of Independents. The gender gap vanishes when it's about shielding children.

Our kids are drowning in hyper-sexualized content designed to rob their innocence. Age verification is the tool that works. Texas follows Utah. More states are next.


EVERS VETOES AGE VERIFICATION ON PORN SITES — WISCONSIN KIDS LEFT EXPOSED...

Read at jsonline.com →

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers killed a bill that would have required porn sites to verify users are adults. While 24 states have passed these protections and SCOTUS upheld Texas's law 6-3 last year, Evers chose Big Porn over parents. APP's poll found 81% support for porn age verification — with 66% strongly in favor, the most intense number in the entire survey.

Parents want action. Blue-state leaders keep choosing the other side.

Sex Is Real

COMING BLUE-STATE BATTLES OVER TRANS ATHLETES HEAT UP...

Read at politico.com →

Politico flags the next front: blue states digging in to keep biological men in women's sports and locker rooms. APP worked with 27 states to pass bans — stopping 890+ medals stolen from female athletes. Terry Schilling has run this fight since 2019. Now even some Democrats are cracking.

Girls should grow up knowing they can compete, train, and win without sharing a locker room or podium with a man.


The Credentialed Left

LARGEST PROTESTANT DENOMINATION OPPOSES TRUMP'S SURGEON GENERAL PICK OVER CONVERSION THERAPY...

Read at Daily Signal →

The Southern Baptist Convention is pushing back against Trump's Surgeon General nominee, citing opposition to any limits on gender procedures. APP was first to hit gender ideology in elections starting in 2015. Reactions to the recent SCOTUS ruling on conversion therapy show the left doubling down. We can't allow kids to be sterilized and mutilated so the Gender Industrial Complex can cash in.

True love means telling children they are perfect exactly as God created them.

Capitol Hill

PROBE LAUNCHED INTO IRAN RESCUE LEAK AS TRUMP THREATENS JAIL TIME...

Read at foxnews.com →

A federal probe is underway to find who leaked details of a sensitive Iran rescue operation. President Trump warned the leaker could face jail for endangering American lives. In a separate story, Mike Johnson's internal House drama continues to ripple through Capitol Hill.

Meanwhile, a bipartisan push for an antitrust bill aims to help small businesses compete against Big Tech platforms — an effort APP has backed.

Faith

Join the Fight

APP's February poll delivered the proof: 81% want porn age verification with 66% strongly supporting it — the hottest intensity we've seen. Pair that with 83% backing app store checks and 77% for Home Savings Accounts, and the Protection-First Consensus is real. Voters want concrete protection for their kids and relief for their families.
