My name is Ella, I'm 17 years old.
I do long jump. I play volleyball. I go to school in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
When my school allowed a biological male into the girls' restroom without telling parents —
I went to the school board.
With my name attached.
In my own town.
I got bullied for it. Harassed online. Even some of my own teachers came after me.
I'm still here.
Because here's what I know:
The net in women's volleyball is set nearly a foot lower for a reason.
A biological male can hit a ball across that net at force that could seriously injure a girl.
And in track — all it takes is three biological males entering the girls' category
and not a single girl in this state stands on a podium.
I didn't speak up because it was easy.
I spoke up because somebody had to.
The Supreme Court is about to answer the question every girl in America is asking.
We're ready.

U.S. and Israel just secured a major strategic win in Lebanon. The Islamic Republic of Iran suffered a loss.
🇮🇱 The IDF remains in its original security zone until Hezbollah is disarmed and the threat is gone.
🇱🇧 The Lebanese Army not Hezbollah begins taking control of additional territory in pilot zones not linked to Israel’s security zone.
Most importantly, the regime in Iran is being told it has no role in Lebanon’s future.
A blow to Tehran’s regional project
Ummm the immigrants from the 20s and 30s ? Not much immigration during the Great Depression and before that you didn’t have an expansive welfare state. As Milton Friedman once said: “Its just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state."
Israel and Lebanon have signed the agreement framework that was mediated by the Trump administration.
The agreement came after five rounds of talks in Washington.
17 of the best players in the country. Two of them are Mountaineers. Congratulations @gavin_kelly18 and @maxx_yehl. Congrats to all the staff who work everyday to put players in a position to accomplish great things. ☠️
SECRETARY RUBIO: "We're happy to announce a framework agreement between the sovereign government of Lebanon and the government of Israel, with the mediation and support of the United States of America."
Hillary Clinton's criticism of the Electoral College reflects a broader Democratic pattern: election rules are acceptable when Democrats win, but when they lose, they push to rewrite the rules.
The Electoral College exists to ensure that voters across all states have a voice. Whether you live in a small rural town or a major metropolitan area, your vote matters.
A bet’s a bet, @SenGillibrand.
Thanks for being a great sport. We had fun settling our NBA Finals wager.
The Texas BBQ, Shiner Bock, and Blue Bell were well worth it.
The irony of yesterday's @ChinaSelect hearing on CCP subnational influence ops is how @RepRoKhanna attempted to endlessly play the race card just like CCP-aligned statehouse operators do across state legislatures.
Ro was amplifying the most vile CCP tactics to divide American society.
Listen to this insane testimony from Texas that was deeply disconnected from the underlying bill: "if this bill passes there will be more hate crimes against Asian grandmas and grandpas and their blood will be on your hands."
Thankfully, TPPF's @ChuckDeVore was there to set the record straight.
He said he was "struck by the similarity in the arguments of much of that testimony" that came before him and "that the arguments actually did not respond at all to the bill."
DeVore found the source of where the talking points actually originated by reading an op-ed to the committee before concluding "Mr. Chairman, that statement was from the embassy of the People’s Republic of China in an article in the Washington Post in August of 2023."
And so to repeat -- It would be great if Ro Khanna could actually work to counter CCP subnational influence operations that target state governments across the country instead of amplifying their most disgusting tactics.
Another big legal win for Louisiana against the illegal mail-order abortion drug regime. We call on Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche to settle this case immediately and get these dangerous drugs out of the mail. Protecting women and unborn children must be the priority.
Thank you @ADFLegal for your leadership.
If Ukraine can keep bombing out Russian energy infrastructure w/ more and more waves of drones while also degrading its military logistics, how do Russian leaders hope to hold out for a better future scenario?
I agree w you on Putin not entering real negotiations, but is there a better strategic future he can hold out for, or will it keep getting worse?
Amy Acton says she had to shut down *outdoor* county fairs because there was “no science for it.” But she was totally fine allowing crowd-packed BLM protests to roil the streets at the same time. The only difference between Amy Acton & the Democrat Socialists elected in NY is that at least they’re honest about where they stand.
I gave her every opportunity to say Americans don’t need Coca-Cola to survive. She wouldn’t do it.
This is who Democrats brought to defend food stamps.
Justice Thomas always loves to go back to the Constitution itself — his concurring opinion today in Mullin v. Doe was just the latest example of that.
Justice Thomas rightly eviscerated the equal protection claim in this case with his analysis of the 14th Amendment.
