Good morning from Washington, where pro-life Americans are marching to the Capitol on the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Right before the march, the Supreme Court makes a big announcement about the investigation into the leaked opinion in Dobbs, Mary Margaret Olohan reports. Two different sources release conflicting data about abortion, but the truth is even worse, Melanie Israel reveals. Meanwhile, Fred Lucas has another scoop on more “Zuck Bucks without Zuckerberg” flowing into election offices and in England, an army veteran faces a fine for praying silently near an abortion facility, Tyler O’Neil reports. Plus: New Daily Signal intern Elizabeth Troutman makes her Daily Signal debut with a report on an important poll. On this day in 1981, 20 minutes after President Ronald Reagan takes the oath of office, Iran releases 52 American hostages.
