Earlier this week, on September 16, 2026, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) unveiled the “Declaration for Life,” calling on lawmakers and candidates to support legislation restricting abortion, specifically a federal ban on the drug mifepristone.
The four-page document, drafted by over 30 pastors and signed by more than 100 Missouri pastors and 50,000 citizens, argues that state-level restrictions are insufficient because abortion pills can be mailed across state lines, effectively turning “every mailbox in America into an abortion clinic.”… Continue Reading
It is gratifying to see federal agencies finally working with resolve to secure our highways. By targeting widespread fraud in the commercial trucking industry—specifically illicit testing schemes and unqualified foreign drivers—the administration is taking long-overdue action to protect American lives.
A primary concern for many citizens is the lack of English proficiency among commercial operators. Language is not merely a formality; it is a safety necessity. Drivers must be able to converse with the public, read highway signs, and respond to official inquiries.
Illinois Family Action recently hosted the “Save America Rallies,” featuring keynote speakers David M. Walker, former Comptroller General of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), and Joe Penland Sr., businessman, author, and philanthropist. Their nonpartisan, math-driven presentations offered practical blueprints for preserving Social Security, addressing the national debt, and restoring fiscal responsibility and accountability to the federal government.
America’s fiscal baseline is rapidly approaching a critical juncture. With the Social Security Trust Fund officially projected to be exchausted in 2032, everyday citizens and families are facing an uncertain economic horizon. If left unaddressed, the impending insolvency could trigger abrupt benefit reductions of 20% to 30%, destabilizing millions of households nationwide.
In response to these compounding challenges, Illinois Family Action is proud to host two ‘Save America Rallies’ featuring co-authors David M.… Continue Reading
The DSA’s Platform Walks Us Through, Brick by Brick
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has officially released an updated platform titled Workers Deserve More!, published through its official magazine, Democratic Left. Describing it as a vision for a “comprehensively democratic society,” the platform seeks to unite the organization’s rank-and-file membership and elected officials around a single political program.
As expected, the DSA platform upholds the “right” to kill preborn babies in the womb (abortion) by calling for universal healthcare and “reproductive care.”… Continue Reading
As Congress continues to debate immigration and federal spending, legislation has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives to prohibit taxpayer-funded welfare benefits for non-citizens.
Earlier this year, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act (S. 3670), which would prohibit the use of federal funds to provide welfare benefits to refugees, asylees, and illegal immigrants.

On Friday morning, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced that states failing to maintain accurate voter rolls and implement enhanced election security measures could lose federal election funding. The warning follows President Donald Trump‘s directive that “election security is national security” and is part of a broader effort to strengthen election integrity before the 2026 midterm elections.
Mullin said DHS has identified approximately 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Nevada.… Continue Reading
Illinois and the Nation Must Prioritize Election Integrity
President Donald Trump’s prime-time address this week presents a timely opportunity to launch a genuine national, bipartisan effort to strengthen election integrity. Unfortunately, top Democratic officials and their allies in the dishonest media have already rushed to criticize the president, dismissing his concerns about voter fraud and election meddling as “false” or “unsubstantiated.”
On his personal X page, JB Pritzker posted a statement in response accusing the President of “spewing lies” and attempting to “gaslight the American people” with “baseless claims” and “shameless propaganda.… Continue Reading
United States Representative Mary Miller (R-IL) pressed two medical school deans, Dr. Sam Hawgood and Dr. Steve Dubinett, on whether or not men can get pregnant. You would think that the question would be extremely easy to answer.
On Monday, July 6, 2026, preliminary hearings started taking place in regard to Charlie Kirk’s assassination case.
Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin, and his defense team, requested that the death penalty be removed from consideration in his trial. The defense’s request was in response to prosecutor Christopher Ballard’s comment to the media about having “ample evidence” to prove Robinson’s guilt, in what the defense claimed was a violation of a gag order.… Continue Reading
