PSA: If you live in NYC, you have not one but THREE upcoming opportunities to see Point Break on a big screen. It's at Metrograph on Tuesday and Thursday and then at the Paris Theater on Jan. 16. Tickets are $17-$18, but if you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price.

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient.

The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.
🚨🚨 SCOOP @ms.now : The Department of Veteran Affairs has quietly implemented its abortion ban following a DOJ memo issued last week.

This will affect 9 million veterans and their dependents, and has been a long time coming: It was outlined in Project 2025.
