Sen. Jim Banks introduced the SAFE for Kids Act to require age verification on apps and sites pushing porn to children. APP helped build the movement that already secured age verification laws in 24 states. SCOTUS upheld Texas's version 6-3 last year. APP's February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 81% of voters back porn age verification with 66% strongly in favor — the most intense issue tested.

Read at Truth Social →

FISA Section 702 expires at midnight. Democrats stalled renewal all week and blocked the vote after objecting to Bill Pulte as acting DNI. Trump has now nominated Jay Clayton for the role, rendering their objection moot. Democrats' obstruction leaves the surveillance tool in the dark.

Read at punchbowl.news →

Senate Appropriations Committee markups for the FY27 budget were canceled this week. The unraveling leaves key spending decisions on hold as Democrats dig in against Republican priorities. APP's agenda to protect kids from online porn, ban men from women's sports, and shield minors from irreversible sex changes has already passed in dozens of states with overwhelming public support. These fights deliver concrete wins for families while the Senate stalls.


SCOTUS UPHELD TEXAS' AGE VERIFICATION LAW FOR PORN SITES IN A 6-3 RULING LAST JUNE...

SCOTUS upheld Texas' age verification law for porn sites in a 6-3 ruling last June. 24 states now require proof of age before kids can access hardcore material. APP's February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 81% of voters back porn age verification — with 66% strongly in favor, the most intense support in the survey. 83% also back app store age verification, including 80% of Democrats. These laws shield children's innocence from an industry that profits by exposing them early.


UNBELIEVABLE: CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE ALLOWED TO BE CHRISTIAN BUT JUST NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING CHRISTIAN...

Public schools across the country got caught pushing gender ideology on kids and hiding it from parents. Teachers and administrators exposed biological males in girls' bathrooms, sports teams, and locker rooms. APP has helped 26 states ban these irreversible sex-change procedures on minors. Terry Schilling, father of seven: We can't allow our kids to be sterilized and mutilated just so the Gender Industrial Complex can make a pretty penny.


FOR PROMOTING HARMFUL PRACTICES LIKE "TRANS" IDEOLOGY...

APP helped pass laws in 26 states banning irreversible sex-change procedures on minors. Terry Schilling, a father of seven, has fought this fight since 2015 after market research showed massive voter opposition to gender ideology in civil rights law. The Gender Industrial Complex profits while kids face sterilization and mutilation. True love means leading children to the truth: they are perfect just the way God created them.


ONE FUN NOTE: SEN...

Sen. Eric Schmitt made the catch of the year. The Missouri Republican snagged a foul ball bare-handed during a Cardinals game. Schmitt, a father of three, turned the play into a family moment with his kids cheering courtside. No injuries, just pure dad reflexes on display.


THE CONGRESSIONAL BASEBALL GAME, AND HAS THE MVP AWARD TO PROVE IT...

Terry Schilling suited up for the Congressional Baseball Game and took home MVP honors. The APP president has spent years building the fight to protect women's sports, ban sex changes on minors, and keep kids off porn. His work helped flip 27 states on fairness in girls' athletics and drove 24 states to pass age verification laws that SCOTUS just upheld. Voters back it hard: 81% want porn age checks and 83% want app store verification.
