Humbled and grateful for the chance to testify yesterday in the Senate on behalf of all the unKNOWN boys and girls who have no voice.
Child sexual exploitation is not shrinking. It’s growing. Live-streamed abuse. Sextortion. Grooming. Runaways being targeted.
We aren’t winning. We are losing every day in this battle.
Every minute we hesitate, more children are harmed. That has to stop.
Our country’s most precious and vulnerable lives have been forgotten.
Every day, these children lose hope… but we believe this is a problem we can solve. Lives can be redeemed, and these children can once again find hope. Just with the three sprints through Operation Renewed Hope, we identified more than 1,100 of these boys and girls, and rescued more than 550 already.
@WhiteHouse 🙏👏 Thank you for all you and your administration have done and plan to do. God Bless you all. Watching this event. Just a suggestion @realDonaldTrump please keep to your written speech.

The Rev. Franklin Graham is calling America to prayer, imploring Christians and citizens more broadly to turn back to the Lord and appeal to Him to help heal the United States.
“I see things are going to get bad and go from bad to worse as we get closer to the end times,” Graham said. “I think we’re seeing that. But, at the same time, you have things like Charlie Kirk, who had a political platform, but as he got closer and closer to the end of his life, he was saying he is nothing without Jesus.”

Louis Braille, who lost his sight completely by age five due to a childhood accident in his father’s workshop, would go on to change the world for the blind. At just 15 years old, he invented the revolutionary tactile reading system we now know as braille. Inspired by a French military “night writing” code—a cumbersome 12-dot system used for silent messaging—Braille simplified it into an elegant 6-dot cell system that could represent letters, numbers, and even music, making reading and writing accessible for the visually impaired.
Braille’s early life was marked by both hardship and brilliance. After losing his vision, he won a scholarship at age 10 to the National Institute for Blind Youth in Paris, where he excelled in subjects like history, mathematics, geography, and piano. It was here that he began refining his tactile system. As a student, he earned numerous school prizes, and later became a respected professor at the school while also serving as a talented organist at a Parisian church.
In 1834, Braille demonstrated his system to King Louis-Philippe I at the Paris Exhibition of Industry. The King was impressed, but no official support or funding was offered. Friends later sought to nominate him for the Legion of Honour, but Braille reportedly refused.
Despite the transformative nature of his invention, Braille died in 1852, two years before the French government officially recognized his system as the standard for the blind. Though he passed away in relative obscurity, his legacy endures: a simple yet profound system that has empowered millions to read, write, and engage with the world.

Speaker Mike Johnson BLASTS Democrats' insane list of demands to the end gov shutdown, which includes:
-Half a BILLION for liberal news outlets
-$24.6 million for climate resilience in Honduras
-$13.4 million for civic engagement in Zimbabwe
-$3.9 million for LGBTQI+ democracy grants in the western Balkans
-$2.9 million for desert locust risk reduction in Africa
-$2 million for organizing for feminist democratic principles in Africa
THIS is what the Democrats are holding the American people hostage over. Unreal.
