It’s a damn shame how badly Democrats want men competing in women’s sports. Today, for the fourth time, I will be speaking on the Senate Floor to call on my colleagues to pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. Nearly every American agrees on this: MEN DON’T BELONG IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.

A survivor trafficked in Nevada’s legal brothels is appealing unjust rulings after enduring coercion, debt bondage, and control inside a state-sanctioned system. She was trapped, unable to leave, fined, surveilled, and forced deeper into exploitation, all under the guise of “legal” prostitution. Legal doesn’t mean safe. Survivors deserve justice, and systems that enable abuse must be exposed. Read the full blog below. 👇 buff.ly/X5cL8HI #ProtectSurvivors #Nevada #Brothel #Survivor #Trafficking #NCOSE #EndExploitation #Exploitation #Prostitution

💯 Parental controls are a scam. On @Google kids only need to log out of their account to remove restrictions. These are the “best” safety features trillion-dollar companies with the world’s top engineers offer parents. Parental controls ≠ enforceable regulation.

This community note contradicted by the following: How Broken Are Apple’s Parental Controls? It Took 3 Years to Fix an X-Rated Loophole. wsj.com/tech/personal-… Instagram Promised to Become Safer For Teens. Researchers Say It’s Not Working.  time.com/7324544/instag… Their teenage sons died by suicide. Now, they are sounding an alarm about AI chatbots npr.org/sections/shots… And this is only after a cursory search. For a so-called “investigative journalist,” you’re kind of bad at this.

🔥 Utah took on the largest tech companies in the world in 2025 with the App Store Accountability Act. One year later, @Apple and @Google have revamped their entire child safety systems. Privacy-preserving age verification is now reality. We. Did. That. @gopTODD @GovCox

Alabama Policy@alabamapolicy·
With House Bill 161 signed into law, Alabama parents are back in charge of what their children can or cannot do online. This law will prevent billion-dollar companies from contracting with Alabama’s children without their parent’s involvement and approval. We are thankful to Governor Ivey, Senator Clyde Chambliss, and Representative Chris Sells for their leadership. "As a mother of seven, I am thrilled that Governor Ivey signed House Bill 161, which passed both the House and Senate unanimously,” said Stephanie Smith, President/CEO of the Alabama Policy Institute. “This law will deliver critical tools for Alabama parents to protect their kids online. I am proud that Alabama is continuing to lead the country on child protection issues."

The internet has fundamentally changed sexual exploitation. Pornography and sex trafficking don’t just overlap online; they fuel each other. Once exploitative content is posted, it doesn’t disappear. It spreads, it’s re-uploaded, and it can generate profit for years—long after the harm is done. Listen to the full conversation on the latest episode of the Ending Sexploitation Podcast, link below. 🎧🎙️👇 buff.ly/AFEP5BB #Podcast #Clip #PodcastClip #PodcastHost #EndingSexploitationPodcast #NCOSE #SexTrafficking

Katie Britt, a senator for AL, wrote in response to the viral post: “Parents — not corps — should be having these conversations with their kids. It’s time to pass legislation that protects our children…and puts parents back in the driver’s seat.” #HB161 thetimes.com/us/news-today/…

Another timely and effective resource by DYM! So grateful for *Good Pictures, Bad Pictures* because it truly helps inoculate children with awareness while also opening up healthy lines of communication between kids and parents. It’s one of my go-to resources for the families I serve.

🚨If your state has a "child safety bill" that is backed by Meta, Google, and PornHub ... It's a horrible bill. California is on the verge of passing a tech captured version of the App Store Accountability Act. It doesn't protect kids. @BuffyWicks @AGRobBonta @CAgovernor

Evil is real. There is no doubt, the enemy is hard at work. These last few days, the weight of evil has been heavy across our nation. But this I know: It will not have the final word. One day, God will make all things right. Until then, we pray. We weep with those who weep. And we keep fighting, knowing the victory has already been won.

🚨 Big news: This morning the Digital Childhood Institute and our allies filed a 55-page FTC complaint against @Apple. Apple has deceived families, exploited kids, violated COPPA, and broken an FTC consent decree. The decade of deception ends now. 🧵 foxbusiness.com/fox-news-polit…
