Go early to the airport esp for holidays // Israel-Palestine war drama // TN tornadoes // Trump trial: Trump not going // Elon Musk restored Alex Jones (and Owen Shroyer) on X! //

Get to the airport early

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) The surest way to stress less at the airport during the holidays? Arrive with time to spare, of course. At least two hours early is fine for domestic flights, according to standard Transportation Security Administration advice. A good timing strategy will be crucial if you’re among the record crowds flying during the peak 10-day travel period this month.

Israel-Palestine war drama

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) Clashes between the Israeli military and Hamas are intensifying in Gaza as pressure builds for Israel to agree to a ceasefire. In an update Sunday, Israel said it struck more than 250 Hamas targets within 24 hours. Israeli forces have ordered residents in the main southern city of Khan Younis to evacuate ahead of additional strikes, but it’s unclear how many people might be aware of the instruction given the lack of communication in much of the enclave.

Meanwhile, the US is facing condemnation after it vetoed a UN Security Council resolution last week demanding an immediate truce in Gaza. UN Secretary-General António Guterres says he “will not give up” calling for a ceasefire but said to “expect public order to completely break down soon.”

TN Tornadoes

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) Powerful tornadoes and storms tore through Tennessee over the weekend, shredding hundreds of homes and killing at least six people. More than 34,000 Tennesseans were without power early today and hundreds are facing prolonged outages due to the widespread destruction. In Nashville, a local utility estimates it may take days to restore power to some. In Clarksville near the Kentucky border, local officials say it could take weeks to get power after a tornado destroyed over 90 buildings and left at least 270 others “uninhabitable.” The same storm that spawned the deadly tornadoes will bring more severe weather to at least a dozen eastern US states today.

Trump trial

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) Former President Donald Trump was supposed to testify again in his New York civil fraud trial today, but he made a surprise announcement Sunday saying he would not appear. The GOP frontrunner’s decision to forgo testimony is the latest of his relentless attacks on the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is seeking $250 million in damages and to bar Trump from doing business in the state. The former president attended the civil trial last Thursday — though he didn’t have to be there — and used every opportunity to speak to TV cameras during breaks. Political experts say Trump’s trials have become part of his pitch to his base, arguing that his own plethora of legal woes is a reason voters should re-elect him.

Elon Musk restores the X account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) The move will likely impact X even further as companies distance themselves from Musk and the troubled platform.

RIP Frank Wycheck

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) Former NFL Pro Bowl tight end Frank Wycheck died Saturday after a falling accident, his family announced. He was 52. Wycheck was one of the key players of the “Music City Miracle,” a legendary football play that won a postseason game for the Tennessee Titans in 2000. The “Music City Miracle” was chosen in 2019 as the fourth greatest play in league history.

RIP Frank Wycheck

“Anti-Semitism” (NO SUCH THING)

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill announced Saturday that she is stepping down after facing criticism over the school’s response to rising antisemitism. Several moments led to Magill’s resignation, including the decision to allow a Palestinian literature festival on campus with a highly controversial guest list. UPenn, Harvard University and MIT faced enormous backlash from high-profile donors after presidents from all three schools gave widely criticized testimony to the House in which they failed to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews as explicitly against campus harassment and bullying codes. Now that Magill has stepped down, the spotlight has turned to her counterpart from Harvard, Claudine Gay.

Ukraine propaganda

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) President Joe Biden will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House this week as discussions for a Ukraine aid deal remain stalled in Congress. The Senate has struggled for weeks to reach an agreement as top Republicans insist any aid package for key US allies — including Israel and Ukraine — be tied to reformed US immigration and border security policies. Lawmakers are now working against the clock to end the impasse before they leave town for the holidays next week. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have invited Zelensky to speak Tuesday at an all-senators meeting where he will call on the US to renew support of Ukraine’s defense against Russia.

ChatGPT is 75-percent WRONG!

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) ChatGPT’s accuracy: 25% — when researchers posed a series of medical questions to the artificial intelligence tool in a new study! Sometimes the chatbot even furnished dangerous advice, like approving the combination of two medications that, in practice, could have serious adverse reactions.

Sickle cell treatment

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) Approved: Sickle cell treatments. Over the weekend, the FDA approved the first CRISPR gene-editing therapy for the rare blood disorder. Casgevy allows doctors to go into a patient’s DNA and tweak the bits that lead to sickle cell disease. About 100,000 Americans suffer from the genetic condition, which disproportionately affects Black Americans. The FDA also signed off on Lyfgenia, [NOT READ…] which uses a more common form of gene therapy to treat the disease. Still, the treatments come with hefty price tags: Casgevy will cost $2.2 million per patient and Lyfgenia $3.1 million. The pharma companies behind the treatments say they're working with insurers, which are expected to cover the cost. The FDA estimates that about 20,000 patients will be eligible for both therapies.

NOT READ: Argentina new Prez

(CNN or theSkimm Mon. 12/11/23) QUOTE: “We are going to be a power again.” — Javier Milei, who was sworn in as Argentina’s new president on Sunday. The political newcomer, who has drawn comparisons with former US President Donald Trump, has promised radical changes — including plans for Argentina to swap the peso for the US dollar.
