🌷 The March for Life, the nation’s largest anti-abortion protest, could be last under Roe
Thousands of anti-abortion protesters rallied in the nation’s capital Friday with a growing sense of optimism that their goal was finally in reach: a sweeping rollback of abortion rights.
For decades, the annual protest against abortion was held as the Supreme Court has indicated it will allow states to impose tighter restrictions on abortion with a ruling in the coming months — and possibly overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that affirmed the constitutional right to an abortion.
Some abortion opponents posted on the event’s Facebook page that they will not attend because of COVID-19 vaccine mandates for people going to restaurants and other places in the District of Columbia.

⚖ Texas judge blocks enforcement of vaccine mandate for federal employees
On Friday, Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown blocked the Biden administration from enforcing a vaccine mandate for federal employees, dealing another blow to President Joe Biden's campaign to increase the country's lackluster vaccination rate.
He judged the mandate an overstep of presidential authority and cited the recent Supreme Court decision to strike down a separate federal mandate that had applied to private sector workers.
A Nevada-based group called Feds for Medical Freedom filed the lawsuit in December. The group says they include 6,000 members who are employees or contractors for "nearly every federal agency.”
At a briefing Friday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the White House was confident in its legal authority.

🚙 Arnold Schwarzenegger was just involved in a bad car accident, so bad his monster SUV rolled over on top of another car, and that driver was badly injured.
👀 One eyewitness says it was crazy... it looked like a stunt in a movie. The collision was intense enough that the airbags deployed on the Yukon.
🙎🏻♀️ The woman who was driving the Prius was injured -- bleeding heavily from her head. We're told an ambulance took her to the hospital.

💵 Digital currency gets a look from the Fed
A digital dollar backed by the US government might lead to faster money transfers, and be more accessible than the current banking system, according to a new paper from the Federal Reserve.
The paper is meant to act as a “first step in a discussion,” and doesn’t specifically advocate for creating a “central bank digital currency”. Still, the creation of a digital dollar would be a massive shift in how big a role the government could play in our finances.
The Fed, in its paper, makes clear that no specific design or technology has yet been proposed, saying it “will continue to explore a wide range of design options.” The reserve is currently experimenting with and exploring centralized, blockchain, and distributed methods of implementing a digital currency.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Moscow says it received false accusations from the US instead of a response to security guarantees.
"Instead of taking a pause and concentrating on a concrete response to the questions that were posed in the Russian documents, the White House and its Western allies launched an extremely toxic propaganda campaign, representing our country as an 'aggressor', 'opponent of civilised Europe', and 'threat' to international stability", the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
