DSA REPLACES THE RESISTANCE AS DEMOCRATS' NEW RADICAL BASE...

Read at politico.com →

Politico admits the Trump Resistance is getting crushed in primaries — replaced by DSA insurgents. In Michigan, socialist El Sayed leads the Senate race by 7 in the latest Quinnipiac while the RCP average shows him up by less than 1. In Alaska, a Democrat edged out a Republican for fourth place, setting up a 2x2 general.

The Democratic Party is more radical than ever — and even the 2028 contenders D.C. is trying to prop up are proving how out of step they are with their own base. That brings the midterms into sharp relief, and it means the stakes of midterm losses could not be higher.

Texas Tribune reports James Talarico is dumping cash at a 200:1 ratio against Ken Paxton. APP flagged the move on X as Talarico compared the Ten Commandments to Sharia law.

We just watched Resistance hero Alex Vindman lose despite outspending his DSA opponent 13:1. Donor-class Democrats skeptical of the hard left are about to flood resources into Texas and Wisconsin anyway.

KANSAS MEN STAGE SIT-INS IN WOMEN'S BATHROOMS TO PROTEST SANITY LAW...

Read at kcur.org →

Biological men in Kansas are staging protests by using women's bathrooms and locker rooms. APP has helped 27 states ban men from women's sports and protected female spaces — 890+ medals stolen from women and girls by male athletes. 79% of Americans back these protections.

Terry: "Girls should grow up knowing they can compete, train, and win without having to share a locker room or the podium with a man."

CALIFORNIA MOM FACES THREE YEARS IN PRISON FOR PROTECTING SON FROM SEX CHANGES...

A California mother is set to begin a three-year prison sentence for "kidnapping" her own son to stop him from undergoing irreversible sex-change procedures under Biden-era prosecution. APP helped pass bans on these mutilations in 26 states.

Terry: "We can't allow our kids to be sterilized and mutilated just so the Gender Industrial Complex can make a pretty penny. True love is stepping into our children's lives and leading them to the truth: they are perfect just the way God created them."

APP POLL: 81% BACK PORN AGE VERIFICATION — 66% STRONGLY — MOST INTENSE ISSUE TESTED...

Read at familybrief.news →

APP's February Cygnal national poll (n=1,048) delivered the numbers: 81% support age verification for online porn with 66% strongly in favor — the highest intensity of any issue tested. App store age verification hits 83% support across parties. These are the Protection-First voters who want concrete action for their kids.

Terry: "Our kids are growing up in a digital world trying to expose them to hyper-sexualized materials and rob them of their innocence. Age verification laws are an important tool to protect our kids from this harmful content."

SCOTUS already upheld Texas' law 6-3. APP helped drive 24 states to pass these protections.
