**Pope washing women’s feet!

(CNN or theSkimm Fri 3-29-24) Pope Francis washed and kissed the feet of 12 women at a prison in Rome on Thursday during an annual ritual meant to emphasize humility. It was the first time he washed the feet of women only, and many were in tears as the 87-year-old pontiff led the ceremony from his wheelchair due to his recent mobility challenges.

*Baltimore bridge

(CNN or theSkimm Fri 3-29-24) Crews in Baltimore face “an incredibly complex job” as they work to clear colossal steel sections of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge after a cargo ship crashed into it this week. The federal government has given the $60 million requested by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore as a “down payment” toward cleaning up and rebuilding the bridge. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott also said Thursday he’s hopeful the bodies of the other four men will eventually be retrieved from the debris-filled water. Authorities announced on Wednesday they were pausing search and recovery efforts for the four other workers presumed dead because debris made it unsafe for divers to continue.

**Crooked Joe with fellow LIARS Obama and Clinton

(CNN or theSkimm Fri 3-29-24) President Joe Biden held a New York City fundraiser on Thursday, where he was joined by former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton at a star-studded event that was at times interrupted by protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. All three presidents issued stark warnings about the threat former President Donald Trump would pose if reelected, with Biden telling supporters, “I think democracy is literally at stake.” The event raised more than $25 million, making it the most successful single political fundraiser ever in terms of dollars raised. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign is also ramping up its fundraising efforts, albeit in controversial ways. Trump announced Tuesday he is selling a patriotic copy of the Christian Bible for $59.99 during Holy Week. Some Christians say the move is preying on people’s faith for profit.

**Bus crash in South Africa

(CNN or theSkimm Fri 3-29-24) A bus carrying Easter worshippers plunged off a cliff in South Africa on Thursday, killing 45 people on board. The sole survivor is an eight-year-old girl who was airlifted to a hospital, the South African Broadcasting Corporation reported. The passengers were pilgrims traveling from Gaborone — the capital city of neighboring Botswana — to a church for an Easter conference, according to the SABC. Local officials said that “according to reports, the driver lost control and the bus fell onto a rocky surface, some 50 meters under the bridge and caught fire.” The cause of the crash is under investigation.

**Poor Sam Bankman-Fried

(CNN or theSkimm Fri 3-29-24) QUOTE: “I threw it all away. It haunts me every day.” — Sam Bankman-Fried, reflecting on the mistakes he made as CEO of his collapsed crypto startup, FTX.

He was sentenced to 25 years in prison Thursday (aw, he didn’t hurt anyone! Did he?), a year and a half after FTX practically imploded overnight and set off a massive federal investigation. Bankman-Fried was previously found guilty of stealing billions of dollars from accounts belonging to customers of his once-high-flying crypto exchange.

theSkimm: Sam Bankman-Fried. Yesterday, a judge sentenced crypto’s former golden boy to 25 years in prison for defrauding investors (aw, they’re not babies!). A jury found SBF guilty last year of stealing over $8 billion from FTX customers to pay for his other crypto company, Alameda Research. SBF's sentencing is far shorter than the 40 to 50 years prosecutors asked for. Still, this marks an end to one of the largest fraud cases in US history...for now. SBF plans to appeal his conviction, but said “at the end of the day, my useful life is probably over now.”

**Census getting fancy with Hispanics and Arabs

(CNN or theSkimm Fri 3-29-24) The US Census. Yesterday, the government announced it’s updating the federal survey to include more options for Hispanics and people of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) heritage. It’s the first update to the census’s ethnic and race section since 1997. Starting in 2030, the census will combine the race and ethnicity questions. For the first time, there will also be boxes for people of MENA descent. The changes are to address critics who've said the current census doesn't capture the country's diversity. Experts say the new data could be used to shape voting districts and policy.

**Italian town struggles to sell off its empty homes for one euro

(CNN or theSkimm Fri 3-29-24) Some remote towns in Italy have been unable to offload their abandoned homes — even at the enticing price of one euro.

**Kias rolling away in park (pull the parking brake!)

(CNN or theSkimm Fri 3-29-24) 427,000 Kia vehicles were recalled this week amid concerns they can roll away while in park*. All Telluride SUVs made between 2020 and 2023 and certain 2024 models are affected.

*The problem lies with the connection between metal shafts that connect the engine and transmission to the wheels, according to the NHTSA report. The defect can cause damage over time that results in unintended movement in the cars while in park if the parking brake is not engaged. The report said affected vehicles could make a grinding noise when the damage occurs.

*Endangered species (will Biden protect the whites? No, jk)

(CNN or theSkimm Fri 3-29-24) The Biden administration on Thursday strengthened protections of the Endangered Species Act, repealing Trump-era rules that had stripped safeguards for some plants and animals impacted by human development and the climate crisis. The newly finalized regulations will reinstate so-called blanket rule protections for species listed as threatened with extinction in addition to those listed as endangered. The rules are likely to be challenged by industry groups and Republican states that have mounted legal challenges to many of the Biden administration’s climate and environmental regulations.
