Rand files contempt charges for Fauci. Senate resolution from Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs: certify the committee report on Anthony S. Fauci's refusal to answer under subpoena — and send it to the U.S. Attorney for D.C. for prosecution under 2 U.S.C. 192 and 194.
The record in the resolution: subpoenaed on COVID origins and risky life-sciences research; appeared July 29; took the Fifth after prepared remarks. Chairman Paul ruled the privilege unsupported — Biden's January 19, 2025 full pardon covers 2014 through the pardon date — and found waiver from the opening statement. Fauci still refused. Dropped. The Science took the Fifth. Now Congress moves.
Americans wait an average of 3.5 years for a dementia diagnosis — often after irreversible decline has already begun. Over 7 million living with Alzheimer's, nearly 600,000 in Florida alone. Science has blood tests, better imaging, and ways to protect brain health. Access is the bottleneck.
Terry Schilling highlights Florida Elder Affairs Secretary Michelle Branham's case: Medicare should require standardized cognitive assessments at annual wellness visits — the same way we already check blood pressure and cholesterol. Early detection buys families time, independence, and years that matter. It also delays nursing-home costs. Policy needs to catch the science. Washington Examiner →
The guy with the glasses is an insane human being. Yale Law's Samuel Moyn, on Ross Douthat's Interesting Times: don't give parents proxy votes for their kids. Give them to young adults instead. Why? "There's a divergence of interest between parents and children." Young people who aren't raising families, he says, will have "the best insight into the interests of children." Parents confuse the family's interests with the child's. Society's job includes making sure children "aren't the hostages of their parents."
Douthat's reply lands: it's absurd to imagine a 24-year-old recent college graduate has a better read on his kids than he does. Parents raise them. Parents bury them. Parents sit up at 2 a.m. A childless voting bloc does not get to claim the kids as political inventory. Remember the name.
RFK Jr. sat on CNN's State of the Union and said the government's first duty in any future pandemic is protecting constitutional rights. Not balancing them against expert opinion. Not parking them until the emergency ends. Protecting them.
Politico framed it like a scandal: constitutional rights take priority over "public health." The implied question between the lines was how anything could. That tell matters more than the quote. Years after lockdowns, school closures, church bans, and forced shots, a large slice of the press still treats the Bill of Rights as a scheduling conflict with the next model run.
Dana Bash told the HHS secretary she did not want to "allow" him to say things that were not entirely true. Allow. Not challenge. Not disagree. Allow. That is a gatekeeper deciding which premises may air — not a reporter testing a claim. Kennedy called the method: all she knows how to do is repeat what people told her and say trust the experts. She kept talking over him anyway.
Watch what barely registered. Kennedy said we did virtually everything wrong last time. Bash did not litigate the body count, the nursing-home transfers, the flipped guidance, the lab-leak smear, or the kids who lost years of school for a risk curve that never matched the panic. What registered was the unacceptable suggestion that rights might rank above the public-health machinery. You're talking about rights, she said, and I'm asking about a potential public health crisis — as if those were rival topics instead of a hierarchy.
That hierarchy is the whole American bet. The Constitution was not written as advice for calm weather. It was written to restrain power when fear is highest and the people in charge are most certain they know better. Emergencies are when officials most want a hall pass. Emergencies are when you need the document most. If rights only apply when nobody is scared, they are not rights. They are permissions.
Lockdowns ended. Mandates expired. Emergency declarations lapsed. The assumption that experts outrank rights never left the building. It learned softer language. It waits for the next drill. Flopping Aces puts the dark passenger plainly: a technocratic class that wants the Court to find an emergency exception — collective safety over individual liberty, credentialed managers over civilian government — and keep the exception open until the heat death of the universe. If you think that is melodrama, look at how long "climate emergency" has already lived without an off switch.
"Public health" is not your health. The modifier does work. You can be ordered into an infected nursing home to die alone and the spreadsheet can still call it a win for the collective. Families lived that. So did closed schools, empty pews, ruined shops, and courts that blinked when power said temporary. Temporary is how permanent gets through the door.
Kennedy forced the ranking back onto television: rights first, then policy inside those bounds. Bash performed the surviving mindset live. Remember the word she chose. Flopping Aces →
There is no reason not to. Louisiana AG Liz Murrill got Pornhub's letter asking her to reconsider — and shut it down: age verification stays, and they're pursuing even more accountability. #lalege. Our February 2026 Cygnal poll: 81% back porn age verification, 66% strongly. Kids first. The industry can adapt.
Woah. Ian Miller catches the tell: suddenly the WNBA is crystal clear on men and women — when the job is head coach. Cheryl Reeve wore a "Trans Kids Belong" shirt to troll Sophie Cunningham, then bristles when men take coaching seats from women. Sex is real on the sideline the second a title and a paycheck are at stake. Funny how the fog lifts when it's their roster, not a girl's medal.
This is exactly what the left wants you to know about them. James Talarico campaigns with a surgeon who operated on transgender minors. #TXsen. Sex is real. Kids aren't experiments. Remember the name.
Aryna Sabalenka on the WTA's newly introduced sex testing: "I support it. If they want to test us all, I'm happy to do that." Boom. Jennifer Sey has the clip. Sex is real. Fair play starts with knowing who is who.
Collins: "Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be cancelled?" Hong: "Thanksgiving is a time that is incredibly painful for many people in our communities."
Never forget this. A WEF bioethicist on tape talking about "human engineering" populations to eat less meat — via the lone star tick. Not a metaphor. Watch it.
Why your family might need chickens: Kevin Espiritu says every egg-price spike brings the "just get backyard chickens" financial-hack post — except your backyard eggs will probably cost more than store-bought for years (or forever). And they might still be one of the best things you ever add to your life. Not a spreadsheet win. A family one.
This is why we must show up, fam. Chad Crowley resurfaces Plato: "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." Sit out and you don't get neutrality — you get ruled. Join Family Brief. Bring a friend. Show up.
Nate Silver on how Republicans could still hold the House: they probably need at least two big things to go right. Look at number 2 — winning the argument that Democrats are too far left. That's why we need YOU to encourage your friends to join Family Brief. Every new member is another person seeing the clips, the scandals, and the radicalism the legacy press soft-pedals.

What is this world coming to? Carrie Severino: Judge Boardman gave Nicholas Roske a lenient eight-year sentence after he claimed to be transgender — for attempting to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice. Now he's assigned to a facility known for facilitating taxpayer-funded "gender reassignment" surgeries. Sex is real. Justice isn't a costume.

A federal judge in Michigan struck down a "no trespass" order against a father who spoke out against pride flags in the classroom. The district picked the wrong dad to silence. Sex is real.
A district judge told Michigan to stop enforcing its 2023 ban on counselors helping children with gender dysphoria. Another Letteret-track win against the affirmation-only regime.
The author of children's books affirming biological sex is in court defending himself. This is what the left means by "book ban" — punish anyone who tells kids the truth.
Golden State Valkyries HC Natalie Nakase: "I'm all about women, little girls deserving to play, and that includes trans women. So I'm all about inclusivity." Jon Root: the league has made it clear — they back men in women's sports. Absolute insanity. Sex is real. Men don't belong on the girls' court.
The saga continues: Caitlin Clark keeps getting pressed for telling the truth about men in girls' sports, while WNBA coaches fight back — including a pro-trans shirt protest aimed at Sophie Cunningham. APP has helped 27 states ban males from women's sports. Sex is real.
Four families are taking Big Tech to court, saying Meta, Snapchat, YouTube, and TikTok helped drive their children to suicide. Our February 2026 Cygnal poll: 81% back porn age verification (66% strongly); 83% want app store age checks. Parents want protection first.
Democratic Senate candidate Daniel Osborn's daughter has been found running multiple porn accounts across platforms. The party that lectures everyone else on values.
This. Mike Zicolello to CNN: the story is NOT that you now accept a lab origin was likely. The story IS that you tried to destroy anyone for saying it during COVID. We cannot hate the media enough.
Remember these brave folks? July 2020, steps of the Supreme Court — America's Frontline Doctors in white coats told the country what the regime didn't want spoken: COVID was treatable, early treatment worked, lockdowns were never necessary. They got censored for it. Dr. Simone Gold brings the tape back.
OH. Dr. Peter McCullough: why is Dana Bash making vaccine assertions? In 2022 Pfizer signed a multi-year deal as CNN's exclusive pharmaceutical advertiser — right through the network's fawning pandemic coverage and suppression of dissent. Follow the sponsor.
Eeek. Kevin Bass: Fauci published a correct COVID mortality estimate on February 28, 2020 — matching Jay Bhattacharya's and Trump's. When policy shifted, he sold the public a flawed figure inflated roughly 10x so the "facts" fit the policy. He knew. He lied.
Oregon's message to parents: affirm sex changes or risk custody. This is where the gender ideology experiment ends — with the state coming for your children.
The American Medical Association is still pushing irreversible surgeries on minors. APP has helped 26 states ban these procedures. Kids aren't experiments.
