New: California will codify its progressive abortion protections in its state Constitution after voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 1, a measure placed on the ballot in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade. latimes.com/california/sto…

California’s Democratic-controlled Legislature placed Proposition 1 before voters, saying it was needed to ensure that state courts or politicians could not undermine reproductive rights in the future without voter approval. latimes.com/california/sto…

“Tár” will be a revelation for those unfamiliar with Nina Hoss’ brilliantly steely work.

“Todd Field wants to talk to you” is how Hoss remembers her agent first telling her about the secretive project. latimes.com/entertainment-…
