*April Fools!
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) Today is April Fools’ Day, so keep your eyes peeled for possible hoaxes and pranks. While the exact origins of the tradition are unclear, some historians believe that practical jokes date back to the 1500s.
**$20 minimum wage (Speaking of foolishness)
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) Where some people are getting a paycheck bump… California. Starting today, most of the state’s fast food workers will earn at least $20 an hour as a new law takes effect. The measure applies to fast food chains with at least 60 locations nationwide like McDonald's and Chipotle. Pay for fast food workers has been stagnant for decades, but has quickly been rising since the pandemic, according to one study. Now, the pay rate in California is the highest minimum wage across the restaurant industry in the US. The new law is considered a W for the more than half a million fast food workers in the state, but critics warn the added cost for employers could lead to layoffs and higher prices for consumers. Now, eyes are on employment levels as some experts note that raising the minimum wage doesn’t lead to job losses.
*Bibi haters beat it!
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) Where there are protests… Israel. Over the weekend, tens of thousands of Israelis gathered across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, calling for an early election to oust PM Benjamin Netanyahu and for the government to secure the release of hostages still held by Hamas. Yesterday's demonstrations was one of the largest domestic protests against Netanyahu's government since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war. Israelis have largely been united following the deadly Oct 7 attacks. But six months later, their political divisions are back on center stage as Netanyahu faces growing internal and international pressure for a cease-fire in Gaza. The protests in Israel are expected to continue for several days and coincide with Egyptian media reports of renewed cease-fire negotiations in Cairo.
*Evil Pope wants a ceasefire
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) Pope Francis called for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in his Easter message, condemning war as an “absurdity.” The Pope also used his address to insist that “access to humanitarian aid be ensured to Gaza” and authorities ensure the “prompt release of the hostages.” The 87-year-old pontiff has been forced to limit his appearances at recent events due to poor health but surprised many onlookers at the Vatican when he delivered the “Urbi et Orbi” in full and appeared in good spirits. Meanwhile, in the Middle East, Israel’s military said it has withdrawn from Al-Shifa Hospital following a 14-day siege. Officials in the region told CNN the sprawling complex, which was Gaza’s largest medical facility, had been “destroyed.”
**The NYC store where migrants can shop for free
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) Take a glimpse inside the “Little Shop of Kindness,” a boutique that offers free social services, legal advice and clothing for migrants.

Bridge collapse update // Weekend violence // Severe weather // Ukraine aid // AT&T data leak //
*Bridge collapse
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) Crews are working to remove the first portion of Baltimore bridge wreckage — the starting point in a complicated, extensive cleanup process that could take weeks. This comes after a 213-million-pound cargo vessel slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge last week, killing six construction workers. The bodies of four victims have yet to be recovered. Clearing the channel will allow the search for the missing victims to continue and reopen a port critical to the local and national economies, authorities said Saturday. In the meantime, conditions in the water make it unsafe for divers as pieces of the bridge remain submerged in a “tangled mess,” the Coast Guard said.
**Weekend violence
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) A suspect has been identified in the Nashville Easter shooting that left at least one person dead and seven others wounded. Police said the shooting was an isolated incident that occurred after an altercation between two men at a brunch. Separately, at least seven children between the ages of 12 and 17 were wounded in a shooting Saturday night in downtown Indianapolis, where a large group was gathered near a mall, police said. All the wounded children were taken to local hospitals and are in stable condition. This was the third weekend in a row that Indianapolis police have responded to a mass shooting, prompting more officers to be present downtown.
Severe weather
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) More than 50 million people across the Central and Eastern US are under severe weather threats today. Forecasts show possible tornadoes, large hail and damaging wind gusts in parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. The main area of interest today stretches from northeastern Texas to western Indiana, where the Storm Prediction Center has an enhanced risk for severe storms, or a level 3 of 5, in place. By Tuesday, the storm system will shift east and bring similar dangers to other major cities. An enhanced risk for severe storms later this week is expected from northern Alabama to southern Ohio, including Nashville, Louisville and Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky.
Ukraine aid
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) Ukrainian forces would have to cede further territory to Russia if US military aid does not arrive soon, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned in his latest appeal to Congress. A $95 billion international aid package is sitting unapproved in the House — which includes $60 billion for Ukraine — more than a month since it was passed in the Senate. Zelensky warned that the lack of aid was urgent, and could endanger Ukraine’s major cities. Rep. Mike Lawler, a moderate Republican from New York, expressed optimism on Sunday that a vote on funding for Ukraine’s war effort could land on the House floor when members return from recess this month.
NOT READ: AT&T data leak
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 4-1-24) 72M current and former AT&T customers were recently affected by a massive data leak. The telecommunications giant said the data was “released on the dark web approximately two weeks ago,” and contains information such as account holders’ Social Security numbers.
