• For 26 years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has delayed safety reviews for the dangerous chemical abortion drug mifepristone and defied every attempt to subject the drug to normal medical scrutiny. In fact, rather than subject mifepristone to a standard review process when it approved the drug in 2000, the FDA wrongly approved mifepristone under Subpart H. • It is clear that the FDA prioritized politics over women’s health. What is not clear, however, is why the French drug manufacturer repeatedly refused to allow mifepristone to enter the U.S. market, what happened in years of closed-door meetings between the FDA and the French manufacturer that resulted with mifepristone’s introduction in the U.S., and what political pressures were applied to approve mifepristone. • Thanks to an AAF Freedom of Information Act request and subsequent lawsuit we have some hints. Though AAF has yet to receive confirmation from the FDA, the agency at one point informed our counsel, Judicial Watch, that it had identified 125,000 pages of responsive documents. • The FDA redacted much in these pages. What remains, however, suggests that pro-abortion activists supplied the FDA with tools and detailed blueprints for inflicting political pressure and to help ensure that mifepristone be introduced into the United States. • When the FDA approved mifepristone in 2000, it implemented corresponding safety protocols, called the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), to mitigate mifepristone’s adverse effects. Though not perfect, these protocols at least provided women with some protection but have been almost entirely repealed by the Obama and Biden FDAs. • Because of the FDA’s weakened protections, pro-life states are not able to enforce their own laws banning abortion against abortionists that mail mifepristone from other states. Several pro-life states, including Louisiana, are currently litigating against the FDA. • The FDA claims, as it recently told the Fifth Circuit during oral arguments in Louisiana v. FDA, pro-life states such as Louisiana lack standing to sue the agency over its chemical abortion regulations. • Rather than deliver on its promises to review mifepristone, the FDA has continued to stonewall, approved a new generic chemical abortion pill, and now is fighting pro-life states in the courts. Since the executive branch refuses to act, we propose solutions through the judicial and legislative branches. • First, the Courts could and should rule for pro-life states in these cases to ensure they can enforce their own pro-life laws. Second, the Senate could question FDA Commissioner nominee Heidi Overton about her robust pro-life record and confirm her if she remains committed to her pro-life statements. • Finally, as liberty must always be safeguarded, some may be called to make protecting life the “great object” of their life. This route is the hardest of the three but one of the greatest things we can do. YouTube Video

• Today's children are growing up in a world where gambling-like experiences are embedded throughout daily life, from sports betting and online casinos to video games, social media rewards, fantasy sports, stock-trading apps, and increasingly, predictive markets that allow people to wager on elections, economic events, and current affairs. • These platforms share the same psychological architecture, using uncertainty, variable rewards, near misses, social validation, and constant engagement to keep users coming back, while blurring the line between entertainment, investing, predicting, and gambling. • As betting becomes normalized across sports, politics, finance, and digital culture, young people are learning that nearly everything can be turned into a wager, potentially altering how they view risk, achievement, decision-making, and even civic engagement. • Parents, educators, healthcare professionals, and policymakers have struggled to keep pace with this rapid cultural shift, while powerful industries continue to expand products that monetize attention and human behavior. • Protecting children does not require banning innovation or limiting freedom, but it does require establishing commonsense guardrails that prevent the commercialization of childhood and ensure that the next generation is not raised to see every outcome as an opportunity to place a bet.

As Tennessee’s top lawyer, he leads an extraordinary team with a track record of fighting  and winning for Tennessee all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States.  He  successfully defended the constitutionality of Tennessee’s ban on irreversible gender  transition treatments for kids in the landmark case United States v. Skrmetti.  He has  repeatedly stopped unconstitutional federal overreach, most notably by eliminating the  Biden administration’s Title IX rule.  And he has successfully protected Tennessee  consumers from some of the most powerful corporations in the world, including  BlackRock, Google, and Purdue Pharma.

• Gen Z could be the one to reverse course and save the nation, but only if we know how to win them! Our founding fathers were young! ▪ Hamilton was 21 when he became a prominent officer in the Revolutionary War, Monroe was 24 when he served as a delegate in the Continental Congress; Jay was 28 when he became president of the Continental Congress; Madison was 29 when he helped lead the Constitutional Convention; Jefferson was 33 when he wrote the Declaration of Independence! ▪ Charlie Kirk as a shining example of the next generation. 1 Timothy 4:12 - Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. Their views on the economy, social issues, tradition, and how to win their votes. • Young people are looking to YOU as an “influencer,” an ambassador for your ideas. People are looking to you for both the good and the bad. Growing up, I had the blessing of a wonderful family that taught me how to think, not what to think. ▪ Share the story of my first amateur boxing match where I thought I was prepared, only to gas out in the second round. A lesson learned at the end of another man’s fist. ▪ Use your experience to train the next generation. I travel the country teaching pro-life advocates how to argue convincingly in an increasingly polarized culture. I teach students: Be Prudent; pick your battles. Know the difference between your enemy and someone who might disagree with you. They are not always the same. ▪ Genuine, good faith questions are NOT attacks. Attacks are not good faith questions. ▪ Not every fight is worth engaging in. Save your powder until it is worth it. Know your objectives. Why are you saying/doing the things you do? ▪ What are you trying to accomplish? Every scenario is different and every person is different. To be a good ambassador for conservative principles, we must have clear goals for what we do. The importance of effective communication. Good ideas lose to bad ideas that are presented well. ▪ History is full of examples of horrible ideas gaining absurd popularity. Hitler, Mao, Stalin, etc., all managed to get people on board despite their faulty ideology. ▪ Lies are easier to spread than truth. If we want to be competitive, we must communicate with excellence. ▪ Take action! Get involved! Our country is at an impasse. The stakes could not be higher; what will YOU do? The Democratic Socialists of America are gaining power on the left; political violence is all too real. The left has made clear they want to stack the Supreme Court, push abortion to birth, gender transition our children and destroy the 2nd Amendment.

TAKE ACTION: • Buy extra copies of “Throwing Children Under the Cannabis” and distribute to friends and family. • Do not socially accept the use of marijuana. Social pressure works! • Educate your friends and community. Marijuana is particularly dangerous to mothers and newborns. Marijuana used by fathers doubles the chance of miscarriage. Since THC is stored in body fat and is not water-soluble, any use of cannabis within the month and driving is not sober driving. • Talk to children and young adults about the dangers. Cannabis use can lead to psychosis, schizophrenia, violent behavior, suicidal ideation, and other mental illnesses. The younger people are when they start using marijuana, the higher their risk of developing lifetime illnesses. • Follow science. Marijuana is not medicine and is not FDA-approved. Medicine provides benefits that have been proven through double-blind studies. In medicine, the patient never determines the dosage. • Demand community standards. Local municipalities have many options to regulate pot shops: location (not near schools or churches), no public consumption, signage and advertising that make marijuana seem fun, hours of operation (no drive-through or all-night sales), cultivation and manufacturing, and odor control. Most municipalities already have regulations on obnoxious odors; get your community to enforce the law with regard to the public nuisance of marijuana. • Demand that cannabis-related products should only be sold at cannabis stores. Demand clear labeling. Hemp products with THC should not be available at convenience stores and farmers’ markets. • States should set limits on the potency of their legal marijuana. The high-potency THC causes more health problems. • Be on the lookout for new psychedelics with new names. Psychoactive drugs are being peddled as cure-alls without having had the necessary FDA testing. These dangerous drugs are marketed as “safe” alternatives to opioids. • Kratom (gas station heroin) is not regulated federally, but FDA warns against using. It is illegal in some states, but most states do not regulate kratom. Get your state to regulate or outlaw kratom. • Ibogaine is a Schedule I drug, which is marketed as a cure for PTSD. • Psilocybin (magic mushrooms) is a Schedule I drug but is legal in some states (Oregon and Colorado).
