Senate Committee Unanimously Advances Bill to Stop Online Child Exploitation
Earlier this month, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced a bi-partisan bill aimed at curbing online child exploitation by cracking down on the proliferation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

Senate Blocks FCC from Increasing Social Media Access on School Buses
Instead of developing a plan to address America’s failing schools and the years of COVID-induced learning loss, the Biden administration passed a last-minute rule to expand access to harmful social media sites on school property. The Senate just voted to halt that. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) partly funds high-speed internet access to school classrooms […]

Donald Trump was the very first presidential candidate to sign Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee’s (CWALAC) Presidential Promise to American Women.

One of the most iconic images from the past few months happened on February 5, when President Trump, surrounded by […]
Helping Moms, Supporting Life
Thousands of pro-life centers and clinics stand ready to help moms in crisis. The problem is that most vulnerable women are not aware of them. Congress can change that. For every one Planned Parenthood clinic, there are dozens of pregnancy resource centers and clinics ready to help new moms. But while these life-affirming centers outnumber […]
Stomping Out Antisemitism in Education
At 2:00 a.m. on the morning following Passover, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) was jolted awake by the smell of burning wood and sirens.

How Congress can Help Families in Times of Economic Turbulence
Between the chaos of the COVID pandemic and the out-of-control inflation caused by Biden-era policies, Americans have taken a hit to their pocketbooks over the past several years. In a recent study, nearly 59% said that they do not have enough savings to cover an unexpected $1000 expense. And while President Trump’s financial strategy may […]
What is “Budget Reconciliation” and Why it Matters
The hottest phrase on Capitol Hill this year is “budget reconciliation.” Practically every conversation with a member of Congress, administration official, or third-party lobbyist involves mention of the coming reconciliation bill. But what exactly that is, and the process involved, is often unclear – both to D.C. insiders and the everyday American voter. However, such […]
Long-Awaited Shutdown of the Department of Education
After 50 years of mismanagement, waste, and political propaganda, the Department of Education (ED) is on its way to shutting its doors. Since it first opened its doors in 1979, ED has spent nearly $3 trillion dollars, yet the state of education has not improved. At best, it has stagnated. In some districts, it has […]
How the Fight for Truth in America Helps the Irish
Fiddle music and cheers of Slainte! will be ringing out from pubs across America as we celebrate one of Christendom’s greatest saints, the former slave who transformed an entire island nation via the Gospel. However, the Ireland of today looks a bit more like the ancient pagan culture that it was before St. Patrick set […]
Senate Democrats Block Women’s Sports Bill
This past Monday night, Senate Democrats blocked the opportunity for Congress to permanently protect women’s sports from men who believe they are women and desire to compete in female categories based on their subjective feelings. Sponsored by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama), the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act would have codified the original […]
After White House Moves to Protect Women’s Sports, All Eyes Turn to the Senate
With the stroke of a pen, President Trump did more for women’s rights than any other politician in decades. His executive order banning men from women’s sports sent a signal not just to athletic programs in the U.S. but across the world that gender ideology will no longer be allowed to rob women of their […]
White House To End Public School Indoctrination, Expand School Choice
It’s National School Choice Week, and with a White House and Congress openly in favor of educational choice, there’s a lot to celebrate. While the battle to provide greater educational options for families has predominately taken place at the local level, for the first time in years advocates are optimistic that real change will finally […]
Time to Protect Parents’ God-Given Right to Direct the Upbringing of Their Children
President Trump’s allusion to America’s “Golden Age” may mean new opportunities for innovation and growth, but it also means the chance to protect certain fundamental rights from ever being threatened again by a future administration. One bill that aims to do that is the Families’ Rights and Responsibilities Act (FRRA). The right of parents to […]
Senate Tees Up Bill To Protect Women’s Sports
The side of truth and common sense is winning in the gender ideology war. After years of fighting to protect women’s sports at the federal level, a bill will soon be voted out of the Senate and sent to the White House that will finally do just that. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama) reintroduced the Protection […]
Senate to Begin Confirming Trump’s Nominees
A new President coming to D.C. means that an already busy Senate must juggle must-pass spending bills, policy priorities such as immigration and tax reform, and filling the nearly 1300 federal positions that must be confirmed by Congress’ upper chamber. The Founders famously imbued the American government with a complex system of checks and balances […]
Protect Kids from Explicit Apps
It is common knowledge, and unacceptable, that kids can access explicit material on Instagram, TikTok, and the other mainstream social media apps. But they are also being exposed to adult content through a variety of other lesser known, completely unregulated apps pushed to them through app stores. That’s why Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rep. […]

Members of Congress Tell Mountain West Conference to Protect Female Athletes
The Mountain West Conference refuses to protect its female athletes. So now members of Congress from the Mountain West states are weighing in on the issue. For the past several months, the Mountain West Conference, the governing body for many college sports teams in the western U.S. states, has been in the hot seat. San […]
A Case for Closing the Department of Education
For many school choice advocates, shuttering the Department of Education (ED) has long been seen as an unattainable dream. However, President-elect Trump has upset the education establishment by announcing his intention to dismantle the federal-level agency. If his administration is successful in doing so, the closure of ED would be an incredible boon to the […]
