Terry Schilling stood on Ellis Island this week and laid out the fight to protect American families from the forces tearing them apart. As a father of seven, he has spent over a decade building the only national pro-family group that runs real campaigns and wins elections on the issues that matter. From age verification laws now in 24 states to bans on men in women's sports and irreversible procedures on minors, the work puts kids and families first. Voters back it hard: 81% support porn age verification, 83% back app store checks.

SCOTUS upheld Texas' law 6-3 last June. 81% of voters back porn age verification and 83% back app-store checks.

Brandon Gill, Bishop Robert Barron, and Benny Johnson joined forces to hammer the Gender Industrial Complex. They laid out how irreversible sex-change procedures on minors amount to sterilization and mutilation for profit.

Terry Schilling appeared on CNN to break down Pope Leo's move naming a formerly undocumented immigrant to head West Virginia Catholics. The appointment puts front and center the tension between compassion for migrants and the rule of law that protects American families. Schilling, who leads the fight for age verification laws now backed by 81% of voters and upheld 6-3 by the Supreme Court, pressed the concrete stakes for kids and communities. Border security and child safety cannot be treated as optional. American families deserve leaders who put their protection first.

Jon Schweppe laid out why Congress must increase funding for the Federal Trade Commission. Stronger FTC enforcement blocks Big Tech from pushing hyper-sexualized content at kids and stops deceptive practices that prey on families. The agency already has the tools to crack down on porn sites ignoring age verification and platforms harvesting children's data. More resources mean real teeth against the industries robbing kids of their innocence.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE WERE BOTH OUT OF SESSION THIS WEEK, AND WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK...

Congress returns next week after a quiet recess. APP's agenda is locked and loaded: age verification for porn sites now backed by 81% of voters and a 6-3 SCOTUS win in Texas. Home Savings Accounts poll at 77% support to protect families from sky-high housing costs. Terry's team has already helped 24 states enact age checks and 26 states ban sex changes on kids. The Protection-First Consensus is real and waiting.

DEMOCRAT LED REDISTRICTING EFFORT ON FRIDAY, DECLARING THE BALLOT TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL...

Democrats' redistricting push collapsed Friday when the ballot measure was ruled unconstitutional. Virginia's current congressional map stays locked in through the midterms. In Ohio, APP-endorsed Derek Merrin — who signed the pledge to protect kids from porn, irreversible procedures, and men in girls' sports — cruised to victory in his primary. Voters want concrete family protections, not radical experiments.
