This is how House Democrats silence women who play sports - and the state constituents who want to protect Title IX, women safety and opportunities.

[Pennsylvania Family Council @PFIpolicy]

🚨 Pennsylvania House Democrat leadership has now re-referred Senate Bill 9, the Save Women's Sports Act, FOUR TIMES.

Today, Representative Kate Klunk attempted to bring SB 9 up for a vote in the Children & Youth Committee. Chair McNeil shut it down with the support of House Democrats. Later in the meeting, SB 9 was brought up again, only to be re-referred once more.

If this sounds familiar, it's because it is. This marks the fourth time Democrat leadership has kicked the can down the road instead of allowing a vote on the Save Women's Sports Act.

It has now been one year since Senate Bill 9 passed the Pennsylvania Senate and was sent to the Pennsylvania House, where it remains stalled.

Women and girls deserve fairness, safety, and privacy in sports. Yet Democrat House leadership continues to use procedural maneuvers to avoid a vote on legislation that polling consistently shows is widely supported by 80% of Americans.

We're grateful for Representative Kate Klunk and her tireless efforts to bring SB 9 forward. Pennsylvania women and girls deserve a fair playing field.

The Health Committee Chair who re-referred protecting women in sports bill out of Health will now get it back just to keep it from going to the Governor in an election year. What are they afraid of? It’s an 80/20 issue and boys don’t belong in women’s sports. @Riley_Gaines_

[PA House Republicans 🇺🇸 @PAHouseGOP]

🚨🚨 BREAKING: House Democrats just pulled the same stunt again.

They re-referred SB 9, the protecting women’s sports bill, after voting that it couldn’t even be heard in committee.

Imagine being so afraid of an honest debate and vote that you resort to procedural games to keep the public from seeing where you stand.

Whoopi Goldberg’s comments reveal everything wrong with identity politics.

I didn’t marry my wife because she’s white.

She didn’t marry me because I’m Black.

We got married because we share the same values, the same faith, and the same vision for raising a family.

At no point did marrying a white woman make me less Black.

At no point did marrying a Black man make my wife less white.

What it made us was a family.

The people obsessed with race can’t understand that most Americans don’t choose friends, spouses, or family based on skin color. We choose them based on character, values, and love.

The civil rights movement wasn’t about putting race at the center of everything. It was about moving beyond it.

[Sen. Kim Ward @SenatorKimWard]

NJ, MD & VA don't have the energy to produce their own power & have never paid their fair share for the energy PA supplied to them.

Once the Shapiro CAP was implemented, PA'ians are paying $60 more per MWh, while NJ, MD & VA pay nearly $110 less.

How does this make sense?🤔

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”

“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

Wow. 1,000 University of California professors signed an open letter to the Board of Regents demanding they bring back standardized testing after it was removed during covid for equity.

They reveal that many STEM students are BELOW Middle School level in Math!

“The SAT mathematics requirement is not an obstacle to equity; rather, it is a prerequisite for it. Failing to measure preparation gaps does not remove barriers; it moves them into the classroom, where they become harder to overcome.”

With one of the highest gas taxes in the country tacked onto every gallon, the state is taking a bigger cut than almost anywhere in America, right when people can least afford it.

We need to suspend the gas tax as well as the taxes on items families use heading into summer.

[Jessica Wood @Woodshed2012]

Looks like the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee finally decided to put up what they’re calling Part 2” aka “oops we got busted cutting 3 hrs of video” from the May 21st voting meeting including Rep Scott Perry’s testimony discussing his ALPR (Flock camera) amendment—an entire week later.

Listen to the testimony and see who voted against it 👇🏻

We now have had male state champions in girls' high school track and field in SEVEN states (indoor and outdoor combined).....
🌟California
🌟Oregon
🌟Washington
🌟West Virginia
🌟Connecticut
🌟Maine
🌟New Hampshire
.......but I'm ASSURED that this hardly ever happens😉

🚨🚨 SHAPIRO'S BILL IS COMING: On Governor Shapiro's proposed budget, the Independent Fiscal Office warns "a broad-based tax increase will be necessary because it will not be possible to cut spending enough to address that full deficit."

Do it again Maine citizens! Don’t let them cheat. Protect women in sports. @Riley_Gaines_ @a1states @PaulaYScanlan @CWforA @IWF

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

Maine Sec. of State Shenna Bellows just killed the “Protect Girls Sports” citizen initiative despite initially certifying 71,033 valid signature.

She later invalidated ~12,542 more, leaving it 532 short.

This isn't getting nearly enough attention. So much for democracy...

State-Endorsed Digital ID 🧵

Holy Wow 👀

It is here.

Governor Spencer Cox and the Utah Office of Digital Privacy have launched the country’s first comprehensive State-Endorsed Digital Identity (SEDI) program this month. It’s being sold as voluntary and child-protecting with all the right patriotic key words — but it’s the blueprint for a global digital ID system. 1/

Parents please take note of the data below. Children spend most of their waking hours at home. While schools plummet in reading, consider closing that gap for the sake of your child. Set aside an hour a night teaching phonics and making reading fun.

[Jean Twenge (author of 10 RULES, GENERATIONS) @jean_twenge]

Reading scores, 3rd graders to 8th graders, 2015 to 2025. This is a national tragedy.

[Pennsylvania Freedom Caucus @PAFreedomCaucus]

Rather than distancing themselves from SPLC, which was indicted for funding and instigating racism and antisemitism, the Shapiro admin is doubling down by having their “experts” lecture Pennsylvanians on “anti-Muslim hate.”

[Rep. Barb Gleim @RepGleim]

100%. Adults need to be more vocal in these situations. Protect the women athletes and their opportunities.

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

This ad is so well done.

Girls are faced with an impossible decision when they realize they have to play a boy in their sport. Do they forfeit? Should they really have to?

If that's something they even have to consider, the adults have already failed them. Do better, adults.

[Rep. Barb Gleim @RepGleim]

Sounds like a waste of time when we need cursive back, phonics back, and classic reading books returned to curriculum. And try to mix in a few books that have happy endings.

[Tyler Kingkade @tylerkingkade]

NEW: Have you heard of i-Ready?

It's in a THIRD of school districts.

The company behind it makes $800m/yr revenue.

Kids are often required to use it for 90 min/week, or more, and they hate it.

It doesn't count toward grades.

Teachers can't see a student's answers.

Schools are paying millions for it hoping to improve their state test scores, but critics say there's no proof it works.

My latest @NBCNews story digs into the controversy around one of the most commonly-used software products in education today

When you strengthen moms, you strengthen families.

When you strengthen families, you strengthen communities.

When you strengthen communities, you change the culture.

When you change the culture, you win America.

"New data reveals funding for Pennsylvania’s public schools spiked to nearly $24,000 per student in the 2024–25 school year. ... ranking tenth in the nation in total per-student funding, about $4,000 more than the national average." https://t.co/excBRA967J

🚨 New York will be the 30th state to opt into the Education Freedom Tax Credit!

I applaud @GovKathyHochul for transcending politics and recognizing good policy that puts students FIRST.

Tens of thousands of New York families will now benefit from new educational opportunities, from private school tuition to tutoring and more!
