Once again, activists are trying to use the discredited SPLC’s hate list to censor speech. @aarbaer and @CCVPolicy are passionate and effective advocates for truth and freedom. Their work is making Ohio a better place for everyone! The City Club should reject censorship!
LGBTQ activists are demanding the City Club of Cleveland CANCEL the January 16 speech by Aaron Baer, president of the Center for Christian Values. (The Club hasn’t as of this writing) My letter to the City Club setting out the arguments against this totalitarian action is below.

Privileged to testify before Congress today with @ADFLegal client Deb Figliola. Thousands of schools are using “secret transition” policies to conceal info about children from their parents and bully great teachers like Deb into supporting harmful social transitions. Thank you

The Wailes’ story illustrates what happens when govt officials ignore parental rights and trample girls’ privacy. An 11-year old girl assigned to a hotel room with a boy on a school trip. Parents denied info about this rooming policy & their accommodation request rejected. This

Had an amazing time at @KentuckyFamily’s Family Forum today. Great crowds, great panels (featuring @ADFLegal client Blaine Adamson of Hands On Originals), and great energy as we look forward to advancing freedom in 2026.

In 2020, it took immense courage for Idaho to stand against the cultural winds and pass the first #SaveWomensSports law. Thank you @IDHouseGOP for continuing to stand with young women and girls who know that men don’t belong in girls’ sports.

Voddie Baucham’s book— Family Driven Faith—had an immense impact on my family, inspiring us to begin a nightly family worship time that we have done almost every night for the last 12+ years. I had the chance to meet him a few years ago and thank him.

Thankful to see 200+ courageous women lawmakers and 38 state family councils--many of whom were key in passing #SaveWomensSports in 27 states file this important amicus brief with SCOTUS. And special shoutout to @MNFamilyCouncil @KSFamilyVoice for leading the charge.
For decades, women’s sports have enjoyed widespread & enduring support. They are a remarkable American success story. Much progress has been made toward equal treatment regardless of sex. A consensus also has emerged that, in some areas, equality requires separate programs that

I ❤️ this passage from the House Resolution that just passed w/ strong bipartisan support honoring Charlie Kirk. At the core of Charlie’s mission was to promote Biblical Truth, knowing that it is the source of true human flourishing. Thank you @SpeakerJohnson for leading this

Time and again, TN has been a leader in protecting its citizens’ rights—including protecting them against debanking. Thank you @SenJohnson @JasonZacharyTN and the TN Legislature for being the first in the nation to pass robust debanking protections.
Financial institutions should not be able to discriminate against people because of their conservative ideology. In TN I sponsored, and we passed, legislation protecting Tennesseans from debanking discrimination. Thank you @ADFLegal for your work to protect Tennesseans’

“Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness….And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God

4 years ago, AG Garland took the position that parents who want to protect their children from indoctrination at school are a "threat." Today, @AGPamBondi directed the federal govt to stand with parents, recognizing their fundamental right to raise their kids. #ParentsKnowBest
Parents of school-aged children should NEVER be treated like criminals for speaking at school board meetings. No more. @TheJusticeDept is restoring law & order and returning power to the PEOPLE we serve. I am directing @FBI, our @CivilRights division, and all our U.S.

Thank you @mayes_middleton for your leadership on this bill. Radical gender ideology is losing as Americans refuse to sacrifice their daughters’ privacy and safety or to deny the truth of the biological differences between the sexes.
I just passed the strongest Women’s Privacy Act in America. Texas will not bend to the woke left’s gender delusions, and we will not allow men into women’s private spaces. This law is for all the daughters—and future daughters—of Texas.

Thank you @GregAbbott_TX, @mayes_middleton, and @LoisKolkhorst for making women's privacy a priority for the special session. Texas women and girls deserve laws to protect their privacy & safety. And shoutout to @txvalues for their unwavering commitment to this issue.

There is a lot to celebrate today with SCOTUS taking up the Idaho & West Virginia #SaveWomensSports laws. But I wanted to thank three personal heroes who made this possible: @Barbara_Ehardt, @ruckerforwv, and Sen. Amy Grady, the courageous legislators who sponsored these bills.

SCOTUS agreed to hear the challenges to the Idaho and West Virginia #SaveWomensSports Laws! @ADFLegal was leading the charge on this from the beginning - representing athletes in CT, ID, WV and working with courageous legislators on laws to protect fairness on the playing field.

UPenn is not only going to restore records & titles denied to deserving women, it is adopting a policy restoring sanity in women's sports. For a decade, @ADFLegal has tirelessly advocated to preserve women's spaces & sports and to help make wins like this happen!

100 years ago, SCOTUS affirmed in Pierce v. Society of Sisters that “the child is not the mere creature of the State.” But today? Federal programs are still undermining parental rights. ADF’s @MattSharpADF & @KateAnderson_AZ write in @DailySignal as we mark this pivotal
