According to CNN, President Biden, First Lady Jill Biden and FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell are traveling to Ponce, Puerto Rico, to meet with victims affected by Hurricane Fiona. While there, Biden will announce $60 million in funding from the bipartisan infrastructure law passed last year that will shore up levees, strengthen flood walls and create a new flood warning system to help Puerto Rico better prepare for future storms.

2. The answer is D, $10.7 million. According to Collider, Avatar made $3 million in its IMAX screenings this weekend. The film was rereleased two weeks ago as part of a limited engagement to showcase the film’s experience and to promote the upcoming sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, coming out Dec. 16. This brings its lifetime IMAX total to $10.7 million.
