Throwback to staff training in 2022- Hard to believe that this week marks 4 years with @TPUSA! Incredibly thankful for the opportunities, friendships, mentors, and the entire tpusa family. It’s a blessing to do work I believe in everyday ❤️

We miss you, CK. We’ll continue onward 🇺🇸

Not every conspiracy or rumor deserves your belief.
Watch how people live. Watch who they invest in. The people spending time with the next generation, encouraging them, mentoring them, & showing up —that tells you far more than the loudest voices!

Actions over algorithms.

While in DC for CLS, some of our chapter leaders got to sit down with @MrsErikaKirk to speak with her on their experiences as a conservative on campus and in their communities. THANKFUL is an understatement, these students are incredible & it was such a special morning for them ❤️🇺🇸

“My experiences at CLS 2026 have helped me to become more equipped as a chapter leader and meet many new people that will be great resources in the future. The young people I had the pleasure of meeting will definitely be an awesome generation of future leaders. And to all the amazing leaders and speakers I had the privilege to hear and meet. Thank you for everything you do for this movement and our country.”

“I was extremely blessed to attend CLS 2026! I made lifelong friendships with people who aspired to be the change they wanted to see. The speakers were very powerful, and I left every session with more hope for my future! Everyone I met made a lasting impact on my life, and it’s surreal to believe that I had this amazing experience! Thanks be to God for blessing me with this!”

- Hayden J, Oskaloosa High School Club America

“Chapter Leadership Summit blew me away. I have never been in a room with so many young conservative students who, like me, are trying to change the anti-American culture on their campuses. I received encouragement, resources, and wisdom from every speaker. I came away from CLS with a greater passion for America and the strength to continue Charlie’s legacy. Although I came alone, every person I met became my friend, so I never felt alone. I’m incredibly grateful for every staff member and sponsor who made this experience possible. Because of CLS, I am now ready to speak the truth without fear.”

This Chapter Leadership Summit was a powerful reminder that @TPUSA and Charlie Kirk’s legacy will endure for generations.

Our @tpusastudents Field team brought together 2,500 of our top College and Club America chapter leaders in Washington, D.C. These aren’t just voices online, they’re young men and women doing the hard work of leading on their campuses every day.

One of the most meaningful moments was the opportunity for our students to hear from @MrsErikaKirk. Her message of faith, resilience, and purpose was something they’ll carry with them long after this week.

After more than a decade with TPUSA, I’ve watched this movement grow stronger through every challenge. I firmly believe God has guided this mission, and His hand continues to be evident in the work ahead.

Charlie’s vision lives on.

[Nick Cocca @CoccaNick]

It’s a CLUB AMERICA TAKEOVER at Mount Vernon for @TPUSA’s Chapter Leadership Summit 2026!!

Had a good time tonight at the Iowa Lincoln Dinner!

We got to meet some amazing @TPUSA students and got to hear from our awesome candidates running this fall

Iowa somehow always gets underestimated in almost every capacity. But we will be showing up this fall. 🇺🇸

[TPUSA Students @tpusastudents]

Our students are fired up and READY for CLS this weekend 🔥

[Isabel Brown @theisabelb]

I'm sorry, but if you genuinely believe that Charlie Kirk was a brilliant man who would have been the best President we've ever had, was the leader of the conservative movement, and was a once-in-a-generation mind but simultaneously was stupid enough to be duped into a fake relationship with a woman who never really loved him... then you really didn't respect him at all.

[Lauren Toncich🇺🇸 @TPA_LT]

As someone who has known Erika for years, I have witnessed firsthand how incredible, kind, and genuine she truly is.

One example- two days before the 2024 inauguration I had to go to the ER early in the morning. When E found out, she immediately came to visit me. She stepped into mom mode right away and helped handle the nurses and doctors when I was all alone on the other side of the country, and in too much pain to advocate for myself.

When she had to leave, she coordinated others from Turning Point to come and rotate out throughout the day so I was never by myself. She started a group chat with my fiancé to keep him updated until he landed that evening and continued to check in throughout the weekend and for weeks to come.

She did all of this just two days before inauguration. When her and Charlie had countless meetings, appearances, engagements… when there was far more important things going on.

I was fortunate to watch CK & E fall in love from the very start. I saw Charlie become an even better man when he became a husband and a father. I formed a friendship with E and saw firsthand, countless times, how amazing of a person she truly is.

Since 9/10 there hasn’t been anything negative come out about CK, that’s not a coincidence. He was the best of the best. Anyone who thinks someone as smart as Charlie would marry anything less than a wonderful human like E, needs some serious help.

[Mikey McCoy @Michael_McCoyy]

True character is revealed less by how someone treats people in public and more by how they treat people in private…where there are no cameras, no applause, and nothing to gain.

Those of us who have had the immeasurable privilege and profound blessing of knowing Erika, know that the woman you see publicly is exactly who she is behind closed doors.

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

[Erika Kirk @MrsErikaKirk]

This @nytimes op-ed completely misses the point on the purpose of marriage and children and completely misrepresents my views in the process. The entire article is laced with viewing family through the lens of money and career as if those things bring fulfillment and purpose. When you’re on your death bed, your money and your career won’t be whispering in your ear “I love you” as you take your last breath. The material goods and fortune of this world mean nothing when we go to our eternal resting place.

The author also conveniently leaves out the part of my Hillsdale commencement speech where I said “marry young, not rushed, but young.”

We serve a God of order and when you live a life ordered there’s a double portion of grace. Meaning marriage first, then kids, and everything else. Timing matters because life is shorter than you might think, and you never know what could happen. The point is, don’t put it off. Don’t rush it or force it if it’s not right, but don’t put it off.

I say this from a place of personal reflection. My marriage with Charlie and our babies are the biggest blessings of my life. I was 32 when I married Charlie, which in my mind is neither young to start a family or old. You just run up against statistics at that point and it just so happened to be the Lord’s timing and He still blessed us with two beautiful children. But I wish we met and were able to start our life and family together much sooner.

There is no such thing as perfect timing to have kids. Financial struggles are a part of life, but the problem is a lot of Americans are self-surviving, not self-sacrificing, and they expect to live a very distinct lifestyle based on what they see online. When Charlie encouraged young people to have more kids than they can afford, he wasn’t saying to recklessly bring a child into this world and have them on welfare. He was saying children aren’t a luxury item to have once you meet a certain tax bracket threshold. You don’t need a mansion in order to build a family.

It’s easy when you’re young to think that you have all the time in the world, but it’s a hard fact of life and science that that’s simply not the case. If you've met your person and you’re checking off boxes based on societal expectations of dating for a couple years, then a long engagement, then adjusting to married life before having children, you’re wasting valuable time. Getting pregnant in your late 30s and 40s is usually a lot harder than in your late 20s. Not always, but it’s a hard reality for many couples.

The inverted priorities of our current culture encourages women to believe that getting married and having children are weights on an otherwise rich and carefree existence. And yet, young Americans have never felt less happy or carefree. Children are not an obstacle, they're a gift from the Lord. They give life so much more meaning than you could ever imagine. When we stop looking at marriage and children as barriers to a happy life, maybe then there’ll be progress in this country.
