HHS NUKES BIDEN RULE PUSHING FOSTER KIDS INTO 'AFFIRMING' HOMES...

Read at Daily Wire →

The Trump HHS just killed the Biden rule that forced foster kids with gender dysphoria into homes that push the lie of transition. No more placing vulnerable children with adults required to affirm mutilation and sterilization. This ends the federal pressure on states and families to treat sex as optional. Kids in the system will now be protected from the Gender Industrial Complex instead of fed to it.


Affordability

MILLIONS TAP CREDIT TO BUY GROCERIES...

Read at cbsnews.com →

Millions of American families are now charging groceries on credit cards just to eat. Kitchen-table pressure is forcing parents to rack up debt for milk, bread, and basics. Home Savings Accounts would let families sock away tax-free dollars for housing, education, and daily costs without another bailout for failed models. APP's February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 77% support for these accounts. Families need real relief now.


GEORGIA FAMILIES FORCED TO SELL HOMES FOR AI DATA CENTERS...

Read at cbsnews.com →

Georgia Power is seizing homes through eminent domain to feed electricity to AI data centers. Working families who scrimped for decades to own their piece of the American dream now face forced sales while inflation eats their grocery budgets. This is the affordability squeeze in raw form: roofs lost to the machine, meals stretched on plastic. Republicans can counter with Home Savings Accounts that let families build wealth outside this broken system.

EU CHIEF WEIGHS SOCIAL MEDIA BAN UNDER 13...

Read at AP →

EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen is weighing a ban on social media for kids under 13. America should lead instead with mandatory age verification on porn sites and app stores. APP's February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 81% of voters back porn age verification with 66% strongly in favor — the most intense issue tested — and 83% support app-store gates. These tools block hyper-sexualized content before it reaches children and preserve their innocence. Europe is moving; the U.S. must act first on child safety.

CHINESE BILLIONAIRE — 100+ SURROGATE CHILDREN IN THE U.S....

Read at fortune.com →

Chinese tech billionaire Xu Bo has fathered more than 100 children through surrogates, with dozens born on U.S. soil to secure American citizenship and inherit his empire. The scheme turns American wombs into factories for foreign heirs while bypassing China's own restrictions on surrogacy. Industrial-scale baby buying exposes how weak U.S. family policy has become a national security loophole. American children deserve parents who put them first, not commodities in a billionaire's succession plan.

GRAHAM'S SISTER NAMED INTERIM SENATE REPLACEMENT...

Darline Graham Nordone will serve out the rest of Lindsey Graham's Senate term after his sudden death. The move locks in a reliable America First vote on secure elections, bans on child sex changes, age verification to protect kids online, and keeping men out of girls' sports. APP has driven those exact protections through 26 states on gender surgeries and 24 on porn age checks, with SCOTUS upholding Texas' law 6-3 last year. Polling shows 81% of voters back porn age verification and 83% want app store checks.
