The Credentialed Left

NEW MEXICO'S "FREE" CHILDCARE FOR EVERYONE PROMISE COLLAPSES UNDER ITS OWN WEIGHT...

Democrats sold universal free childcare as a no-strings family win. Reality: limited spots, long waits, and broken promises that leave parents scrambling.

This is what happens when the credentialed left treats government as the answer to every family burden. The program was never built for scale — just for headlines.

The Democratic Party is more radical than ever on family policy, and even the so-called moderates keep proving how out of step they are with working parents. That brings the midterms into sharp relief: the stakes of losing ground could not be higher.


Affordability

JOB GROWTH SKEWED HEAVILY TOWARD WOMEN AS MEN FALL FURTHER BEHIND...

New Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows net payroll gains tilting sharply female while young men continue to drop out of the workforce.

This tracks with broader demoralization: fewer men pursuing marriage, kids, or steady responsibility. America's young men need real economic paths, not more lectures.

Colleges must prove a degree is worth the debt instead of pumping out graduates buried under $80K-$150K loans while a million trade jobs sit empty. Forcing skin in the game for the credential mills is how Republicans win young voters.


Capitol Hill

SENATE TO TAKE UP COLLEGE SPORTS BILL BANNING MEN FROM WOMEN'S TEAMS NEXT WEEK...

Lawmakers will move on legislation to protect female athletes from biological males in college sports.

APP has worked with 27 states to pass similar bans. Over 890 medals have already been stolen from women and girls by male competitors. 79% of Americans back these protections.

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

MITCH MCCONNELL'S WIFE ELAINE CHAO HELD UNDISCLOSED CCP-APPOINTED POSITIONS...

New reporting reveals Elaine Chao held positions appointed by the Chinese Communist Party and failed to disclose them during her confirmation hearings.

The swamp runs deeper than most admit. While families fight for affordability and child safety, D.C. insiders keep ties that should raise every red flag.

New Hampshire primary results are also in for Senate, House, and governor races as the midterm map sharpens.


Media Hits


Join the Fight

The APP/Cygnal poll proves it: 81% want porn age verification (66% strongly — the hottest intensity in the survey), 83% back app store checks, and 77% support Home Savings Accounts. Voters want leaders who deliver real protection and kitchen-table wins for families, not more ideology.
