1/27: Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring. Tens of millions face a cold snap. The Fed says interest rates could go up in March.

Longtime liberal justice Stephen Breyer is retiring. He'll be at the White House today, where President Biden will make a formal announcement. Biden will rely on the Democrats' razor thin majority to confirm a nominee -- before the midterms in the fall. This morning, tens of millions of people face a cold snap that's pushing into the Northeast, and will drive temperatures in South Florida below freezing by the weekend. Forecasters say a coastal storm starting tomorrow could bring blizzard conditions to parts of the East Coast. Overseas, Russia is continuing its military buildup along the borders of Ukraine. We're in New Mexico -- where COVID means the National Guard is helping out in classrooms. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says the Fed will start raising interest rates as soon as March, to fight rising inflation. That means everything from car loans to mortgages could soon be more expensive.
