Gov. Healey to announce plans to protect access to abortion medication

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:42 GMT

Gov. Maura Healey is set to announce Monday her plans to protect access to abortion medication in Massachusetts. Healey will outline how her administration will make sure residents can get mifepristone after a federal court ruling Friday blocked the FDA’s two-decade-old approval of the use of the drug.United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra slammed the court’s ruling. “What you saw by that one judge in that one court in that one state, that’s not America,” he said. “America goes by the evidence, America does what’s fair, America does what is transparent and we can show that what we do is for the right reasons.”The ruling is now on a seven-day hold due to impeding appeals. The DOJ has filed an appeal and is waiting for its day in court.

Cold Start, Mild Week Ahead

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:42 GMT

It was bright, but certainly a bit chilly over the Easter weekend as temps started each day in the 20s and 30s and topped off in the 50s. This week, we’ll start chilly, but watch temps warm up quite nicely through the week. By Thursday and Friday, it’ll feel more like summer. Even this afternoon, the recovery is respectable with highs in the mid 60s inland, 50s at the coast. Sunshine and light winds win out today. Tomorrow, it’ll be a mix of sun and clouds, but it won’t be as chilly of a start with morning temps near 40. The fact that the atmosphere is very dry and enough sunshine is still with us, will allow temps to warm into the low to mid 70s during the afternoon. The breeze is a bit gusty too, so the fire danger is elevated thanks to the winds and low humidity. Best to hold off on burning the yard waster/brush over the next few days. Wednesday will be a touch cooler, but still breezy with highs in the mid 60s to low 70s. Thursday, into Friday, that’...

Leaked Pentagon documents provide rare window into depth of US intelligence on allies and foes

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:42 GMT

(CNN) — Highly classified Pentagon documents leaked online in recent weeks have provided a rare window into how the US spies on allies and foes alike, deeply rattling US officials, who fear the revelations could jeopardize sensitive sources and compromise important foreign relationships.Some of the documents, which US officials say are authentic, expose the extent of US eavesdropping on key allies, including South Korea, Israel and Ukraine.Others reveal the degree to which the US has penetrated the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Russian mercenary organization Wagner Group, largely through intercepted communications and human sources, which could now be cut off or put in danger.Still others divulge key weaknesses in Ukrainian weaponry, air defense, and battalion sizes and readiness at a critical point in the war, as Ukrainian forces gear up to launch a counteroffensive against the Russians — and just as the US and Ukraine have begun to develop a m...

ASK IRA: Will Heat embrace the reality of play-in desperation?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:22:42 GMT

Q: Ira, Erik Spoelstra said that the play-in “is our reality and we must embrace that.” It may be our reality, but I ain’t gonna embrace it. – Bill, Palm Beach GardensA: The beauty is that it doesn’t matter if Bill from Palm Beach Gardens embraces it (no offense, and keeps those cards and letters coming). It matters if the Heat choose to seize on the opportunity. Remember, if you don’t advance out of the play-in tournament, then you become a lottery team. To some fans, that might seem like a good thing, even with the scant opportunity to move up in the draft order. But few players want to exit a season saying they were on a lottery team. That said, it takes more than pride to take a win-and-in game. It takes skill. So now we again see if the Heat are up to the challenge of the Hawks and Trae Young. To a degree, that matchup also will show whether the Heat are up to the challenge of showing that they are at least in the same discussion as last seas...
