Circuit Court of Appeals threw out a 3-2 decision issued last year by the National Labor Relations Board, which had said Tesla couldn’t prohibit union attire. The court opinion noted that Tesla allowed workers to affix “any number or size” of pro-union stickers to company-issued clothing. “We may have concluded differently had Tesla prohibited union insignia," read the opinion issued Tuesday by a unanimous panel of three 5th Circuit judges. The opinion comes as the 5th Circuit prepares for arguments in another union-related matter involving Tesla, NLRB and the assembly plant in Fremont, California. But that order was vacated after the full 5th Circuit, currently with 16 full-time judges, voted to hear the matter.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Biden administration asked a federal appeals court Tuesday to uphold health care guidance issued in 2022 that says hospitals must provide abortions for women whose lives are at risk due to pregnancy. A federal judge blocked enforcement of the guidance last year after the state of Texas and abortion opponents sued. Opponents of the guidance say Texas law already allows abortions to save the life of the mother, but that the federal guidance went too far, calling for abortions when an emergency condition is not present and eliminating obligations to treat the unborn child. Judge Leslie Southwick appeared skeptical, noting that the guidance was issued shortly after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling that overturned abortion rights. Judge Cory Wilson questioned whether the law applied to abortion care.

A powerful arctic blast will bring "dangerously cold wind chill temperatures" to the Northeast through Saturday evening along with blizzard conditions through northern Maine, forecasters have warned. "Temperatures will be 10 to 30 degrees below average over parts of the Northeast into the coastal mid-Atlantic," the National Weather Service said in a bulletin early Saturday. Wind chill warnings and advisories are across New York State and New England, it said. The weather service added that high winds could bring power outages and damage property over the northern Rocky Mountain front and the High Plains. Over 11,000 properties in New York state were without power early Saturday and over 5,000 in Maine, according to the website poweroutage.us.

The air temperature at the peak reached minus 47 degrees F (-44 C), with winds gusting near 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour), according to the Mount Washington Observatory. In Providence, Rhode Island, the mercury dropped to minus 9 degrees F (-23 C), well below the previous all-time low of minus 2 degrees F (-19 C), set in 1918. Several cities took emergency measures to aid residents, including opening warming centers and conducting outreach to ensure homeless people were sheltered from the brutal cold. The frigid weather was expected to be short-lived, with temperatures forecast to be significantly higher on Sunday. The high temperature in Boston on Sunday will approach 47 degrees F (8.3 C), the NWS said.

Lea Rose Fiega, o femeie din statul american Massachusetts, a cumpărat în luna martie un loz în valoare de 30 de dolari de la un magazin aflat nu departe de locul ei de muncă, în orășelul Southwick, relatează libertatea.ro, care citează Associated Press. “Mă grăbeam, eram în pauza de prânz, l-am răzuit în grabă, m-am uitat la el și nu părea a fi câștigător așa că le-am dat lozul să-l arunce”, a povestit femeia. Lozul a stat timp de 10 zile aruncat undeva pe tejghea, până când fiul proprietarului magazinului a descoperit că era câștigător. Cum Fiega era o clientă fidelă a magazinului, proprietarii au știut imediat cui aparține biletul. Cu toate acestea, o copie a înregistrării a fost trimisă loteriei, care a demarat o investigație.
