MASSIVE day in the fight to end debanking.
As I tell @MorningWire, the @USOCC has exposed Big Banks’ discriminatory practices on a broad scale.
For years, Christian ministries and conservative groups lost their bank accounts under circumstances that appeared viewpoint discriminatory, and were left in the dark about why. ADF client Indigenous Advance Ministries, which serves widows and orphans in Uganda, was one of them.
Then the story turned.
@realDonaldTrump called out Bank of America’s CEO on the Davos stage, then signed an executive order directing federal regulators to confront politicized debanking. Thank you, Mr. President.
The OCC report, built on 420,000 pages of bank documents, confirms what we’ve said all along: politicized debanking is real. Thanks to Comptroller Gould (@USComptroller) for this excellent work.
Tennessee, South Carolina, and Idaho have shown what protections against debanking look like at the state level. Every other state should follow suit, and Congress should act so no American is debanked for their religious or political views.
A new federal report levels major accusations of political and religious de-banking against America’s top banks. We speak with @Jeremy_Tedesco of @ADFLegal. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

New @USOCC report out today shows big banks discriminated against Christian and other customers—often guided by cancel culture’s #1 scammers, the criminally indicted Southern Poverty Law Center.
Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SecScottBessent, @USComptroller Jonathan V. Gould is ending the weaponization of finance. Read about the OCC’s supervisory review of debanking activities in its nine largest national banks and its efforts to guarantee fair banking for all Americans. occ.gov/FairBanking

The cowardice of adults has forced young girls to lead the way back to reality and common sense.
It shouldn’t have fallen to them. But I couldn’t be prouder of their courage.
We’ll keep fighting until we win back women’s sports everywhere.
BREAKING: Nearly half of the girls cross-country team in Camas, Washington, just forfeited their race. They refused to compete against a boy. This is bravery. Vote YES on I-638 to stand with them. Video: @KnownHeretic

NEW: EU politicians are pushing for the censorship of pro-life ideas online. ⬇️
In recent years, ADF has warned about the EU effort to control and censor the internet—not just in Europe, but around the world.
Now we’re getting a glimpse of what a Brussels-controlled internet would look like.
Recently, more than 65 members of the European Parliament officially questioned the European Commission about chatbots—such as ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude—that don’t consistently parrot pro-abortion talking points.
Rather than exclusively citing government or pro-abortion sources, these MEPs complained, some chatbots are directing users to pro-life content. Framing this as a threat to “the health, safety and fundamental rights of people in Europe,” these MEPs invoked the Digital Services Act, asking: “what steps has [the Commission] taken to investigate and address this issue?”
If there were ever any doubt that the EU’s censorship efforts are aimed at narrative control—not mere “online safety”—those doubts should now be put to rest.
Pro-life views have every right to compete in the online marketplace of ideas.
And free speech advocates everywhere must push back against EU censorship if they want that marketplace to remain open and free.

FedEx prohibits the shipment of Kinder Surprise Eggs, along with a host of other items. But one item not on FedEx's prohibited items list — abortion pills.
That's the absurd double standard @FedEx's board just defended this week when it rejected a shareholder resolution authored by ADF — reported by @leif_lemahieu at @realDailyWire.
FedEx already prohibits items it deems too risky, including a candy toy. But an abortion drug that's illegal in more than 20 states, hurts women, and ends countless lives isn't on the "prohibited items" list.
If FedEx can prohibit a toy for child safety, why can't it prohibit the drug responsible for taking the lives of babies?
@AGToddRokita said it best: "It is indefensible that these companies do not have similar restrictions on the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone." Shipping mifepristone is illegal under Federal law — and FedEx knows it.
This isn't just FedEx's problem. @UPS is facing the same reckoning, thanks to a parallel push from @Inspireadvisor.
Grateful to have stood with @IWPCapital and @FWdiocese to bring this resolution to a vote. We're not backing down — count on ADF to keep the pressure on every common carrier that's willing to look the other way.

Today, I’ll have the privilege of arguing before an en banc panel of the 9th Circuit.
@ADFLegal is representing a Christian homeless ministry in Washington state. We’re challenging the State’s unprecedented attempt to determine who is religiously qualified to serve at a church or ministry— coercion that threatens to drive religious groups out of public life.
Our job is to make sure that doesn’t happen. I value your prayers. ⬇️
Great result:
Chester County schools didn’t just have a secret social transition policy. They had a database to keep track of which parents to deceive.
Along with @IndependenceLaw, @ADFLegal sent a letter warning the district that they were violating the Constitution. They’ve now rescinded the policy.
One district down . . . many more to go. Stay vigilant, moms and dads.

Excellent news in the battle against global censorship.
This week, @TheJusticeDept announced its intervention in @X and @elonmusk’s case against a massive EU fine — the first case challenging a Digital Services Act (DSA) enforcement action to reach the EU’s General Court.
X was the first major target of the DSA. From the moment Elon bought X to restore it as an engine for free speech, Brussels bureaucrats have wanted to punish him for it. Free speech threatens the narrative control they need to enforce their policies across borders.
DOJ frames this as jurisdictional overreach, which it surely is. But in the context of the DSA, that overreach exists to enforce censorship.
That’s the design of the DSA: bully American tech companies into silencing speech that EU politicians and bureaucrats disagree with.
@ADFLegal attorneys from the US and Europe are proud to support X’s legal team in challenging this destructive decision. Now the US government is jumping into the fight to support X.
This is a watershed moment. Either foreign bureaucrats dictate what Americans can say and see online, or we defend American sovereignty and the First Amendment. ADF will keep fighting for free speech and American sovereignty.

Today, the Trump Administration is formally putting into regulation what the law has said all along: Title IX’s protections are based on SEX, not “gender identity.”
Victory! In response to @adflegal and @independencelaw Demand Letter, Chester County Intermediate Unit 24 rescinded its policy forcing teachers to socially transition children and hide it from the students' own parents. broadandliberty.com/2026/09/… via @broadandliberty

At the @SenJudiciaryGOP hearing on protecting fairness & safety for female athletes. Thank you @ChuckGrassley for highlighting this important issue. While @ADFLegal had a huge victory at SCOTUS upholding the women’s sports laws of 27 states, there is more work to do. Girls in those other 23 states deserve to have their fairness, privacy, and safety protected. Proud to stand with @icons_women and many other allies working tirelessly for female athletes.

WATCH: "We're not here today for a victory lap. We're here today because the fight is not over. 23 states still do not protect their girls, and those girls are paying the price."
@MattSharpADF speaks out about the ongoing need to protect women's sports.

EXCLUSIVE: The Charlie Kirk files
A British counter-terrorism unit monitored Charlie Kirk’s supporters after his assassination.
A leaked memo from RICU, a Home Office counter-extremism unit, reveals officials monitored 6,385 British channels, tracked Turning Point UK and Tommy Robinson, and warned Kirk’s supporters would use his murder to “push pro-free speech narratives” and “encourage more radical action”.
Meanwhile, RICU described the Left-wing response as “moderate” and "mostly factual reporting".
@UnderSecPD, Trump’s Under Secretary of State, told me: “There is nothing ‘extreme’ about ‘pushing pro free speech narratives.’”
