Read at Daily Caller →

Brianna Westbrook, a former Democratic candidate who identifies as transgender and led Arizona's DSA chapter, was arrested for breaking into a home and threatening a man with a knife. Police say Westbrook forced entry into Mike McDanel's residence in Mesa and brandished the blade while yelling threats. APP has tracked this pattern for over a decade: men identifying as women committing violence while activists dismiss each case as isolated. Democrats elevated Westbrook as a party leader anyway.

Read at politico.eu →

Keir Starmer kicked the decision on banning kids from social media over to Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham. Britain now hesitates as platforms continue feeding hyper-sexualized content to minors and robbing them of their innocence. APP's February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 81% of Americans back porn age verification and 83% support app-store age verification to protect children online.


U.K. OPENS TIKTOK PROBE OVER CHILD SAFETY, AGE VERIFICATION...

Read at politico.eu →

Ofcom just launched a formal investigation into TikTok for failing to protect kids and enforce age verification. Americans are way ahead: 83% back app-store age checks and 81% want porn age gates, with 66% strongly in favor — the highest-intensity issue in APP's February 2026 national poll. Parents refuse to let platforms flood their children's phones with hyper-sexualized content that robs them of innocence. Age verification laws now cover 24 states and survived Supreme Court review. Lead with child safety or get left behind.

Read at Daily Wire →

Mail-order abortion pills with safeguards stripped away have triggered a wave of medical malpractice cases. Activists ignored the glaring red flags on complications and incomplete abortions that hit women and girls. Terry Schilling stood at the Defund Planned Parenthood press conference the same day, ramping up pressure on the largest abortion provider in America.

FORECLOSURES SURGE 21% IN FIRST HALF OF 2026...

Read at cbsnews.com →

Foreclosures jumped 21% in the first half of 2026 as families face mounting financial strain. APP's answer is Home Savings Accounts that let families pay down mortgage principal with pre-tax dollars. The February 2026 APP/Cygnal poll shows 77% support and just 11% oppose, including 73% of Harris voters. Property-tax hikes have made housing less affordable. Families deserve the opposite.

J.D. VANCE ON JOE ROGAN...

Read at youtube.com →

J.D. Vance went on Joe Rogan and laid out how the American family is getting crushed by open borders, trade deals, and cultural elites who treat kids as experiments. Ben Shapiro hit back hard, calling out Vance's populism as the realignment battle inside the right rages on. Vance, a father of three, keeps hammering the concrete stakes: protect kids from porn and irreversible surgeries, build homes families can actually afford, and stop the Gender Industrial Complex from sterilizing minors for profit.
