Red state. Blue state. Same playbook. 🧵

Pink. Blue. Rainbows. Stars. All the cool, kid-friendly vibes.

In New Mexico: gender support handouts distributed to kids as young as elementary school.
In Texas: transgender resource mailers sent to students at home.

Roughly 1 in 8 parents say they'll reject a $1,000 investment for their newborn simply because it's called a Trump Account.

The only person losing out? Their child.

TAXES WERE ON THE BALLOT!

From California to Florida, voters weighed in on tax hikes, tax cuts, and property tax relief.

Some states moved to protect taxpayers' wallets. Others backed higher taxes.

Here's how Americans voted. ⬇️ @KamrynCrane

“In the span of 48 hours, we've seen a massive Microsoft outage disrupt government and private-sector operations worldwide, an unprecedented nationwide FAA ground stop, and escalating security threats against American military installations in Britain.

We have no evidence, yet, these incidents are connected, but we'd be foolish to ignore what they collectively reveal about our vulnerabilities.

Our adversaries are constantly probing for weaknesses, and the systems underpinning American security, economic activity, and daily life are increasingly interconnected and dangerously fragile.

That's why resilience must be central to our national security strategy. We need redundancy in critical systems, stronger public-private partnerships, and the ability to rapidly recover when things go wrong.

Deterrence is about convincing an adversary that an attack won't succeed. The harder we are to disrupt, and the faster we recover, the less leverage our enemies have. A country that cannot be easily paralyzed is a country that is much harder to threaten.” @mobbs_mentality

A society that takes women's equality seriously must be willing to discuss the material differences between the sexes. @IWF continues to defend the importance of sex-based rights and the protections built around them.

“More Fairfax families can afford SAT tutors and specialized classes than families elsewhere in Virginia or the nation. Given that head start, the gap between Fairfax students and the rest of the state looks smaller than one would expect,” Stephanie Lundquist-Arora explains.

🚨 Grocery prices are STILL nearly 28% higher than in January 2021.

But what's really driving up your grocery bill?

From food regulations to supply chain disruptions, we're separating FACT from FICTION about food affordability.

SWIPE to get the facts. ➡️

I agree with Senator @TimSheehyMT: selling public lands will harm conservative inroads with hunters, anglers, and public land users out West. Being from the West myself, public lands matter and need improvement. My suggestion to Interior: stay focused on multiple-use management. Me to @dcexaminer for @IWF https://t.co/J8upxWCUbe

🚨 Christian couples lost their foster care license after refusing to compromise their religious beliefs about gender identity.

Brian & Kaity Wuoti witnessed firsthand how the opioid crisis was leaving vulnerable children without stable homes. Already parents themselves, they opened their hearts & home to children in need.

But during a license renewal, Vermont officials questioned whether they would affirm a foster child's gender identity.

The Wuotis explained that they would love & care for any child, but would not compromise their sincerely held religious beliefs.

Their license was not renewed.

Another Christian couple, Bryan & Rebecca Gantt, faced a similar situation.

Both families fought back, arguing that Vermont was violating their First Amendment rights.

After a legal battle, Vermont adopted a new policy in February 2026 allowing foster parents to maintain their religious beliefs without automatically losing their licenses.

Now, these families are sharing their story of faith, perseverance, & their fight to continue fostering children in need.
