Good morning from Washington, where the Supreme Court will hear an abortion case that could lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. We’ve got commentary from Sarah Parshall Perry. President Biden cancels his predecessor’s Garden of American Heroes, and Jarrett Stepman isn’t pleased. In a video report, Rachel del Guidice introduces a patriotic Border Patrol leader of Mexican lineage. On the podcast, we find out what China is up to with digital currency. Plus: schooling Bernie Sanders on defense, and the 1776 Commission returns. On this date in 1860, Abraham Lincoln, 51, a one-term congressman from Illinois, is nominated for president at the Republican National Convention in Chicago.
