BREAKING: ABDUL EL-SAYED COMPARES CASTRATING CHILDREN TO CIRCUMCISION...

Abdul El-Sayed went on Jesse Watters and equated sex-change procedures on minors to circumcision. He also called to abolish ICE and socialize healthcare. This is the face of the Democratic Party's leftward lurch — and it hands the biggest wins to primary challengers like James Talarico who are even further out.

The DSA victories are forcing big-dollar donors to double down on the most extreme voices instead of propping up swing-district moderates. That makes the midterm stakes crystal clear.

NORTH CAROLINA PARENTS BLAST SCHOOL BOARD FOR HIRING TRANS MUSIC TEACHER WHO DEMANDS KIDS CALL HIM A WOMAN...

Read at Daily Wire →

Parents in North Carolina are speaking out after their school district hired a trans-identified music teacher who insists elementary students address him as a woman. A Republican state representative pledged to keep the kids safe from this ideology in the classroom.

Sex is real. Biological men do not become women, and schools have no business forcing that lie on little children.

TRUMP ENDS HORMONE INJECTIONS FOR TRANS-IDENTIFYING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN ICE DETENTION...

Read at Daily Wire →

The Trump administration has stopped providing cross-sex hormones to illegal immigrants held in ICE detention who identify as the opposite sex. No more taxpayer-funded chemical castration for those in federal custody.

This puts an end to one small piece of the Gender Industrial Complex's reach. We can't allow kids or adults to be sterilized and mutilated just so activists and clinics can cash in.

FUNCTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT NEARS 25% AS POVERTY WAGES AND JOBLESSNESS PILE UP...

Read at cbsnews.com →

Official unemployment looks healthy, but "functional unemployment" — those out of work or stuck in poverty-wage jobs — is approaching 25%. Young families are getting hammered on groceries, housing, and the basics.

Trump is pushing tariff-free beef imports to drive down costs for consumers. A looming trade war with Canada could complicate that fight. The American family is the bedrock of the nation, yet it stands uniquely vulnerable without a dedicated political force in the arena. APP is that force.

Join the Fight

Our kids face hyper-sexualized content, boys in girls' sports, and schools pushing gender ideology while families get crushed by costs. APP's February 2026 Cygnal poll shows 81% support porn age verification — with 66% strongly in favor — and 77% back Home Savings Accounts. These are the kitchen-table fights that protect innocence and build family affordability.

SARAH TRONE GARRIOTT IS RUNNING FOR CONGRESS...

American Principles Project on X: Sarah Trone Garriott is running for Congress. She can't think of a single situation where it would be inappropriate to surgically mutilate a gender-confused child. The Democrats' obsession with castrating kids is unparalleled.

DEEP-BLUE STATES CLEARLY INTEND TO KEEP FRAUDSTERS SAFE, HAPPY, & UNDETECTABLE...

Sen. Rand Paul (official) on X: Deep-Blue states clearly intend to keep fraudsters safe, happy, & undetectable. I have introduced legislation to end welfare for non-citizens immediately. Another of my bills takes illegal aliens off Medicaid & ends the enhanced 90% federal match for any state that keeps covering people who are not eligible. Congress needs to turn off the money.

“PRISON IS VIOLENCE.” “IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT PRISONS...

American Principles Project on X: “Prison is violence.” “It's hard to imagine a world without prisons... Just because it's hard to imagine doesn't mean you shouldn’t.” -- James Talarico No, Mr. Talarico, prisons are not violence. Prisons prevent violence. When career criminals receive soft sentences and are released back on the streets to continue terrorizing innocent citizens -- that is violence.
