DSA CANDIDATE CRUSHES VINDMAN 13:1 IN FLORIDA PRIMARY...

Singer and Beltran win big in Florida. Resistance hero Vindman loses to a DSA socialist despite outspending her 13-to-1. GOP turnout swamped Democrats by more than 500,000 votes on Primary Day. In 2018 Democrats flipped two seats in the blue wave. This is now a red state.

Hageman wins in Wyoming. In Alaska both Dan Sullivans advance with the top four moving forward and the final spot a toss-up between Republican and Democrat. Three GOP candidates could headline the general.

The Democratic Party is more radical than ever. DSA is its future. Pro-family groups are more essential than ever to reversing the siren song of that radicalism. Midterm stakes could not be higher.

Arizona state rep running for Congress backs universal healthcare, voted against protecting kids from sex-change procedures, and opposed keeping men out of female spaces. APP has helped 26 states ban these irreversible experiments on minors. Terry Schilling: “We can’t allow our kids to be sterilized and mutilated just so the Gender Industrial Complex can make a pretty penny.”

Planned Parenthood’s Super PAC is dropping more than $600,000 in ads against Susan Collins and others. Big Abortion never sleeps.

APP POLL: 81% SUPPORT PORN AGE VERIFICATION — 66% STRONGLY...

Read at familybrief.news →

APP’s February 2026 Cygnal national poll (n=1,048) shows 81% support for porn age verification with 66% strongly in favor — the highest intensity of any issue tested. App store age verification hits 83% support and is nearly as bipartisan. SCOTUS already upheld Texas’ law 6-3. 24 states now require it.

Terry: “Our kids are growing up in a digital world trying to rob them of their innocence. Age verification is an important tool to protect them.”

This is the Protection-First Consensus voters want. Lead with child safety, pair it with economic wins like Home Savings Accounts (77% support), and watch the map move.

American Principles Project on X: “People have seen how the trans agenda has sterilized and maimed even children to build a $4.5 billion medical industry,” Schilling argued. “They’ve seen men invading women’s private spaces and endangering our daughters. They’ve seen the victims of this trans agenda commit mass shootings and human atrocities when they can’t get the authentic care they deserve — acceptance and celebration of the sex and bodies that God gave them.”

Join the Fight

Democrats are doubling down on DSA radicals, trans ideology, and Big Abortion while voters demand child safety and sanity. APP’s polling proves it: age verification is the most intense issue in the country, and the Protection-First Consensus is ready to move.

American Principles Project on X: Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer broke their own COVID lockdown policies while your grandparents died alone. These clowns shut down churches but allowed pot shops to stay open. And now, 6 years after COVID, their cities are still impossibly expensive crime ghettos. The Democrats have weaponized their incompetence in order to destroy the lives of everyday Americans. We don't have to live like this. Fire them all. Via @Schilling1776 and @JackPosobiec
