Pray for America
What to know: A would-be assassin shot former President Donald Trump at a rally on Saturday.
The TPPF take: We must pray for our country—and for President Trump.
“Once the shock evaporates, we resolve to keep fighting, to keep working, to keep laboring, to keep praying — all the things a free people do — as the only proper responses to the recourse to violence,” says TPPF’s Greg Sindelar. “The man with the gun trying to kill a President is doing it because he already lost the argument. We are the winners. And we’re going to keep winning — and keep the America, and the Texas, that we love.”

Standing Up for Sanity
What to know: Carrollton ISD will challenge the Biden administration’s new rules for Title IX and girls’ sports, which would force schools to let boys compete against—and to change and shower with—girls.
The TPPF take: Americans have had it with the woke nonsense. It’s time to protect girls and girls’ sports.
“Carrollton ISD is a winner for standing up against Biden’s proposed Title IX rules requiring public schools to treat gender identity as if it were a race or ethnicity—with all the pronouns and gender neutral bathrooms that come with that,” says TPPF’s Sherry Sylvester. “Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton had already told school districts to ignore the regulations, but Carrollton asked for the injunction as well, knowing they are risking millions in federal education dollars. Last week they got it.”

So Over ESG
What to know: Generation Z is ditching environmental, sustainable and governance investing principles, a new report says.
The TPPF take: The state of Texas helped kick off the revolution against ESG investing rules, which drive political agendas instead of sound business practices.
“Texas’ legislation on ESG is a testament to the state’s commitment to maintaining control over its economic destiny,” says TPPF’s Jason Isaac. “Senate Bills 13 and 19 are not merely regulatory measures; they are bulwarks against the imposition of external financial and ideological pressures that could compromise the state’s economic stability.”
