Early America First Wins to Expect in Congress
Voters spoke loud and clear last year, overwhelmingly rejecting the radical policy ideas of the last four years under President Biden that outsourced jobs to China, increased taxes on middle-class families, gave tax breaks and incentives to special interest groups and the wealthiest one percent, and ultimately eroded affordability for families across America.

Colorado’s gender ideology bill is a warning to the nation
Something deeply alarming is happening in Colorado — and if it isn’t stopped, your state could be next. House Bill 25-1312, recently passed by the Colorado House of Representatives, is being hailed by the Left as a “trans rights” bill. But beneath the surface, this legislation is a sweeping attempt to codify compelled speech, override parental rights, and enforce radical gender ideology through the machinery of the state and at every level of public and private life, including inside your own home.

AFPI Applauds the Department of the Interior’s Halt of the Empire Wind Offshore Wind Project
The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) recently partnered with the Independent Women’s Forum to submit an amicus brief to the United States Supreme Court in Seafreeze Shoreside et al v. U.S. Department of the Interior, et al. In that brief, AFPI argued that the Biden Administration ignored the Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 603 U.S. 369, 412 (2024), when approving permits for the Vineyard Wind project off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. That landmark decision overturned the doctrine of Chevron deference, transferring discretion for many administrative decisions from federal regulators into the purview of Congress or the judiciary. By disregarding Loper Bright, BOEM was able to bypass standard permitting procedures to fast-track offshore wind project approvals.
