Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design. Like iconic public courses of Bethpage Black & Torrey Pines, East Potomac will offer locals—of the National Capital Region—championship-quality golf at affordable, highly discounted rates.

Today I spoke directly with Acting FDA Commissioner Kyle Diamantas. He told me he regrets work he performed as an outside attorney for Planned Parenthood in Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando v. MMB Properties. He shared that he was assigned to the case by his law firm, performed work on it, and ultimately regretted his involvement because of his moral opposition to abortion. He then asked his superiors to remove him from the case. He said that he is pro-life and cares deeply about the pro-life cause. I also raised the urgent crisis of the abortion pill. Nearly 11% of women who take mifepristone experience serious adverse events, and the abortion pill has killed millions of American babies. Diamantas told me that reviewing the abortion pill is a top priority for him and the administration. We and millions of Americans across the nation who value the right to life expect the FDA to take serious action to protect mothers and their preborn children.



New w/ @daveweigel: WH expected to hold a staff level pro-life focused meeting tomorrow, with SBA Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser likely to attend. Comes amid growing criticism from some activists about Trump admin priorities (abortion pills in particular) this second term. Dannenfelser declined to confirm or deny the upcoming meeting. WH spox said the admin “continues to engage with stakeholders and activists in this important community to advance the President’s pro-life agenda.”
