HOUSE NDAA BANS TAXPAYER SEX CHANGES — AND MEN IN GIRLS' RESTROOMS AT DOW...
Major wins in the National Defense Authorization Act. The House package bans taxpayer-funded sex changes for members of the military and bars biological males from girls' restrooms in Department of War facilities. Only a handful of Democrats crossed the aisle. APP is watching the Senate — keep those provisions locked.
TITLE IX CLARIFICATION ACT CLEARS COMMITTEE — SEX MEANS MALE AND FEMALE...
After the Democrat hysterics, Rep. Jodey Arrington's Title IX Clarification Act passed committee. It defines "sex," "male," and "female" for federal education nondiscrimination — no more laundering biology out of the law. Sex is real. Girls' sports and spaces follow from that.
APP FAMILY POLICY LUNCH: DEBUNKING AGE VERIFICATION MYTHS...
APP's July Family Policy Lunch put the AV fight on the table: privacy protections in age estimation and age signals, plus the SCOTUS trail — including the Court upholding Texas' App Store Accountability Act while the full case moves. Panelists included APP's Sandra Asuncion and Jon Schweppe, Joel Thayer (Digital Childhood Alliance), and Iain Corby (Age Verification Providers Association). Common objections answered here → AV one-pager (PDF)
HOUSE PASSES RECONCILIATION FRAMEWORK — SAVE AMERICA ACT ATTACHED...
Speaker Johnson pushed the budget resolution for a third reconciliation package through the House (216–214). Committees now write their pieces. Narrow text has ruffled feathers — especially among those who want culture riders — and the Senate is already gloomy about the path. SAVE America Act provisions are attached; midterm stakes are real.
HOUSE CR FUNDS GOVERNMENT THROUGH DEC. 2 — BLOCKS MIDTERM SHUTDOWN...
Johnson also muscled through a Continuing Resolution funding the government through December 2 — cutting off Democrats' favorite pre-midterm shutdown play. Senate Leader Thune is unhappy with the House CR and drafting his own before August recess.

Rep. Blake Moore's bill just passed committee: federal agencies cannot strip funding from organizations with traditional views on marriage, sexual conduct, or gender identity. Faith under pressure gets a shield.
NJ GOV ADMITS 6,600 NONCITIZENS REGISTERED TO VOTE — "ACCIDENTALLY"...
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill admitted 6,600 non-American citizens "accidentally" registered to vote. If hundreds already cast ballots in one blue state, ask the border states the same question. Democrats' war on the SAVE Act tells on itself.
APP FATHER'S DAY GOLF AT TRUMP NATIONAL — RAND PAUL, MCDOWELL, FULLER...
APP's 2nd annual Father's Day Golf tournament hit Trump National Golf Club this week. Sen. Rand Paul, Rep. Addison McDowell, and Rep. Clay Fuller joined sponsors and donors. Closest-to-the-pin, longest drive, BBQ reception — Fuller closed the night. Already looking at next year.

USA Today's Nancy Armour dragged Caitlin Clark into Emmett Till, then "inartful" non-apology. Portnoy: "Fire this lady." Keep signing → FIRE Nancy Armour
House NDAA just barred taxpayer sex changes for troops and men from girls' restrooms at DoW. Arrington's Title IX Clarification Act cleared committee — sex means male and female. New Jersey's governor admitted 6,600 noncitizens registered to vote. APP's Family Policy Lunch kept age verification on offense — one-pager here. And the Fire Nancy Armour petition is live while Portnoy piles on.
This is the Protection-First Consensus — child safety, sex realism, election integrity, then kitchen-table economics that works. FAMILY BRIEF delivers the hits. APP delivers the pressure.
