Tim Tebow Should Have Pulled Strings to Keep Debbie Wasserman Schultz off Anti-Child Porn Bill He’s Endorsing
For years, Tim Tebow has been working with state and federal officials to raise awareness to help get laws passed to end human trafficking and child pornography. It’s a cause that is super commendable–for sure. And he’s on the verge of success.
Just last month, legislation meant to strengthen investigations of sexually abusive images of children, called the Renewed Hope Act of 2026, that Tebow has collaborated on with Republican Florida Rep. Laurel Lee, was reintroduced and voted out of the Judiciary Committee and is now slated for a floor House vote. The big problem, however, is that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., has been made a prominent cosponsor of this measure.
On the surface this may seem like something we should celebrate, but it’s not. The reason is simple: Wasserman Schultz is a hypocrite and a far-left politician who has worked to advance a progressive agenda that is nothing short of being anti-parent and anti-family. That ideology is the culprit behind the rise of online child predators.
In fact, if America is ever going to truly abolish online child pornography, then lawmakers like Wasserman-Schultz need to get the boot and be voted out of office.
Instead, Tebow, has released a press release that hails Wasserman Schultz as a cosponsor; something she can brag about in her reelection bid.
What’s more is that Wasserman Shultz hasn’t been mousey about her radical left positions. She has held top key leadership positions in the Democrat Party and has been at the forefront in using her leverage to oppose parental rights, support abortion, and further transgenderism.
Take for instance that in this current Congress she is a lead cosponsor of the so-called “Women’s Health Protection Act.” This legislation aims to advance abortion access that would in essence make Roe v. Wade the law of the land.
But perhaps most relevant to the issue at hand is that Wasserman Schultz not so long ago voted to prevent a parent’s right to review the curriculum of their child’s school and other materials available in the school library.
When the House of Representatives took up the Parents Bill of Rights Act in 2023, Wasserman Schultz joined with all Democrat members of Congress to oppose this bill which merely stated that the “right of parents to educate their children is a pre-political natural right that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized as ‘beyond debate’ and rooted in the ‘history and culture of Western civilization.”
The measure also included a requirement that elementary and secondary schools for grades 5 to 8 would be forced to obtain permission from parents before marking their child’s “gender” as “transgender” — something that anyone who believes in protecting children should unequivocally support.
In other words, Wasserman Schultz is on the side that is fighting against parental rights. She’s doing that even though parents are the key protectors for everywhere a child goes and everything they do, whether in or out of school or online.
Going a step further: the reason that children are being sexually targeted at school and online like never before in our nation’s history is one hundred percent a result of the far left policies that Wasserman Schultz supports.
Not only did Wasserman Schultz vote in Congress against parents’ rights, but in her own home state of Florida she evidently took a stance to oppose Gov. Ron DeSantis’ leadership to have pornographic and sexually explicit material removed from school libraries.
She also headlined for a gig called “My Hollywood Pride street festival event” which included a drag queen story hour.
There’s no doubt that Tebow is a Godly man who has the best of intentions. And it’s a pretty good guess that behind the scenes he was convinced by typical Washington establishment types to believe that adding Wasserman Schultz’s name in support of the Renewed Hope for Act will help ensure its passage.
But that’s not true.
House Republicans control the majority, and therefore, Wasserman Schultz is not needed to pass this legislation. Just the opposite. She’s the one who needs to add her name to this measure to help her in her congressional reelection bid to balance out her radical pro-transgender policy record.
In other words, by allowing Wasserman Schultz to take credit for adding her name as a cosponsor, Tebow and Republicans are throwing Wasserman Schultz a lifeline so that she can continue to support policies hostile to the family.
So even if Wasserman Schultz was a cosponsor in a previous Congress–and maybe even before Tim Tebow got involved–he still could have insisted that this time around her name not be added as condition for his endorsement.
It’s worth noting that another consequence of Wasserman Schultz being made a lead cosponsor is that she will be granted the ability to have influence over how this measure gets implemented should it become law–a very real possibility.
That means that on one of the core functions of this measure to create a taskforce to work with the Department of Homeland Security on investigations, Wasserman Schultz will have a voice in picking the names of those individuals who will no doubt align with her leftist ideology.
It’s great that Tebow is using his celebrity status to fight for the protection of children. But this is an example of what happens all too often with conservatives: the miscalculation in thinking that the only way to get anything accomplished is to make bedfellows with the other side. Time and time again it comes back to bite us.
Tebow should use his leverage to only elevate lawmakers who support parental rights, the very cure for the cause he is fighting for.

Shutdown-Ending Funding Bill Directs Millions to Pro-Trans Hospitals, Woke Activist Groups
The bill President Donald Trump signed in order to end the government shutdown also included mandatory spending that will contradict his policy goals.
The $1.2 trillion package included funding for specific entities—some of which the Trump administration is currently threatening to defund. Other funded entities provide legal defenses for illegal aliens facing deportation, while some hospitals receiving money practice late-term abortions.
“Avoiding a protracted government shutdown of some of the largest agencies like HHS and the Department of War is a laudable goal, but passing bills that undermine the president’s agenda to cut woke and weaponized spending is not the way to do it,” Connor Semelsberger, government relations director at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in a statement Thursday.
“The Trump administration has taken more steps to eliminate woke spending then any president in recent history, starting first and foremost with entities pushing horrific practices like gender mutilation of children and late term abortions of unborn children whom can feel pain,” he added. “Unfortunately, the appropriations bills passed by Congress provide funding to these exact entities against the will of the American taxpayers.”
When Congress funds the government, each agency usually has discretion in how to spend the money. Yet Congress can stipulate that the agency give the money to a specific entity in a process called “congressionally directed spending.” This mandatory spending—often referred to as “earmarks”—does not appear in the text of the bill President Trump signed, though the bill mentions it. Instead, the Senate Appropriations Committee released the earmarks last month, in files that stretch to hundreds of pages.
Here are five of the most egregious examples.
1. Funding Health Centers Performing Transgender ‘Treatments’
While the Department of Health and Human Services is currently investigating some hospitals for performing experimental medical interventions on minors, the funding bill explicitly directs taxpayer money to those hospitals, albeit for other purposes.
Fox News reported that Seattle Children’s Hospital in Washington state will receive $3 million, due to a request from Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., while the Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago will receive $1 million, thanks to Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. The Department of Health and Human Services has investigated both hospitals for performing the “chemical and surgical mutilation” of minors. Lurie has paused transgender interventions for minors amid the investigation.
Both senators defended the funding in comments to Fox News, emphasizing the health centers’ work. Critics note, however, that money is fungible and that these earmarks appear to directly undermine HHS’ ability to use a threat of defunding to convince the health centers to cease operating on minors.
Neither Seattle Children’s Hospital nor Lurie Children’s Hospital responded to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by press time. The Daily Signal reached out to the senators for comment, and did not receive responses by publication time.
2. Funding for Health Centers that Perform Abortions
Semelsberger also flagged earmarks for health centers that perform abortions.
He drew specific attention to a $4 million grant for ChristianaCare Health Services, requested by Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del. According to its website, ChristianaCare offers “pregnancy termination services” “from early in the first trimester to 23 weeks gestation.” Pro-life groups claim that unborn babies can feel pain as early as 12 to 15 weeks gestation, while pro-abortion groups state that they cannot feel pain until 24 weeks gestation.
ChristianaCare Health Services did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by press time. The Daily Signal reached out to Sen. Coons’ office for comment, and did not receive a response by publication time.
3. Immigration Groups
The earmarks also include millions for organizations that resettle refugees, provide legal defense for illegal aliens facing deportation, and advocate for increased immigration.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., requested $300,000 for Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, recently rebranded as Global Refuge, which faces accusations that it provides services to illegal aliens, not just refugees. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., requested $680,000 for the Dorcas International Institute, which provides “deportation defense,” according to its website.
Neither Global Refuge nor Dorcas International Institute responded to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by press time. The Daily Signal reached out to the senators for comment, and did not receive responses by publication time.
4. AFL-CIO
The AFL-CIO, America’s largest federation of labor unions, has long supported Democrats and liberal causes. It funded many of the left-wing activist groups that sent staff and ideas into President Joe Biden’s administration, as I detail in my book, “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.” The Michigan AFL-CIO lobbies for specific bills in the state Legislature.
Yet Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., requested $2 million in an earmark for the Michigan AFL-CIO Workforce Development Institute. The money would go to “expanding workforce training,” but critics note that money is fungible and would support the institution as a whole, allowing the union to spend more money on other priorities.
The AFL-CIO did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by press time. The Daily Signal reached out to Sen. Slotkin’s office for comment, and did not receive a response by publication time.
5. Union Activist Group
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., requested $500,000 for the National Domestic Workers Alliance’s New York chapter, for “programming to support low income workers.”
The National Domestic Workers Alliance, a union-like organization that represents workers in industries that fall outside the scope of traditional unions, claims on its website to “mobilize domestic workers, supporters and partners to organize and advocate for solutions that will improve working conditions and economic security for domestic workers and beyond.”
An activist group, NDWA supported California’s AB5, a bill imposing onerous requirements on independent contractors. As I outline in “The Woketopus,” the bill’s supporters admitted that AB5 aimed to drive more people into unions, increasing their economic and political power.
AB5 has caused considerable economic pain in California, and the Legislature has amended the measure several times, adding more than 100 exemptions to the original law.
The NDWA did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by press time. The Daily Signal reached out to Sen. Schumer’s office for comment, and did not receive a response by publication time.

FIRST ON DAILY SIGNAL—Selling off unused or underused federal property could save taxpayers $3 billion in deferred maintenance costs, and more than $100 million in operation costs each year, according to one government report.
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, chairwoman of the Senate DOGE Caucus, introduced legislation to expedite the sales of these properties.
“Why should taxpayers be stuck with billion-dollar bills for bureaucrats to hold onto empty buildings when they are keeping the roofs over their own homes? That’s why I’ve worked to eliminate Washington’s bloated real estate portfolio,” Ernst told The Daily Signal in a statement.
The DOGE Caucus supports the mission started by the White House Department of Government Efficiency that sought cost-cutting measures in the federal government.
Ernst’s bill is the Disposing of Inactive Structures and Properties by Offering for Sale And Lease Act, or the DISPOSAL Act.
It calls for the General Services Administration to sell buildings with regulatory and procedural exemptions, such as environmental reviews, historic preservation reviews, and other matters.
“By fast-tracking basic maintenance and construction projects, my new legislation will play a critical role in ending the entrenched bureaucracy’s excessive regulations and pointless red tape to take empty, expensive buildings off the taxpayer’s dime,” Ernst said.
A December report by the Government Accountability Office noted the burden for taxpayers of the properties targeted for sale.
“In March 2025, GSA announced it would begin disposing of federally owned office buildings using what it described as an accelerated approach,” the GAO report says.
“As of November 2025, GSA had identified 45 federal properties—many of which were previously identified for disposal—for this accelerated approach,” the GAO report continues. “GSA estimates that disposing of these properties will reduce the federal government’s real property inventory by 14.6 million square feet and save $106 million in annual operations and $3 billion in deferred maintenance costs.”
The government has a total of 23.28 million square feet of underused office space it owns with annual operating and maintenance costs of $67.1 million, according to an August 2024 report from the Office of Management and Budget.
It has another 766,000 square feet of underused leased space with an annual lease cost of $13.6 million and annual operating and maintenance costs of $481,000. That brings the total annual cost for all of these properties to $81.3 million, according to the Office of Management and Budget report.
Ernst has already introduced legislation that calls for several specific federal properties to be auctioned off.
This bill continues that effort. Targeted properties include: the 1 million-square-foot Hubert H. Humphrey Federal Building, which houses the Department of Health and Human Services; the 1.8 million-square-foot Frances Perkins Federal Building for the Department of Labor; the 1.8 million-square-foot James V. Forrestal Building for the Department of Energy; and the 810,834-square-foot Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building that houses the Office of Personnel Management.
The measurements are according to the federal Public Building Reform Board.
