Pro-lifers are marching for life in Washington D.C. and throughout the country with fresh hope and heightened expectation.
President Biden took to the White House podium for a rare press conference, sporting an even rarer look -- a face absent a mask. And then he went on to say he's united the country, did a terrific job in Afghanistan and is not -- not! no matter what people say -- not Sen. Bernie Sanders.
