The Tide Is Turning on Transgender Ideology

March 26, 2026
Over the weekend, an amendment protecting women’s sports failed to be added to a broader bill, with the vote falling along party lines. This outcome was a rare victory for LGBT activists, who have been largely on the defensive since President Trump took office in January 2025. The fact that every Democratic senator opposed the provision underscores an important reality: while the transgender ideology may be losing ground in the broader culture, it still has strong support within the Democratic Party and among activists.

Heather Hadwick: “CA Is Not Adequately Managing the Wildlife We Have”

February 24, 2026
I am writing today to share serious concerns about Senate Bill 1305, the proposal by Senator Richardson to reintroduce grizzly bears in California.
