*Taiwan earthquake
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) Taiwan was struck by a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake today that killed at least nine people and injured hundreds of others. The tremor shook the island’s east coast, hitting at 7:58 a.m. local time around 11 miles south of Hualien city and at a shallow depth of 21 miles, according to the US Geological Survey. Rescuers are working to free dozens of people trapped in highway tunnels after the island was hit by its strongest quake in 25 years. At least 100 buildings have been damaged, according to local officials, though the full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
*Storm’s a’comin’ in!
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) More than 275,000 homes and businesses across West Virginia, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan were without power Tuesday night after a powerful system of thunderstorms swept through parts of the Ohio Valley. The storms brought damaging winds, dangerous hail and reported tornadoes across West Virginia, according to Gov. Jim Justice, who declared a state of emergency Tuesday in several counties. Forecasts show the storms will shift toward the East Coast today, where more than 35 million people are under severe weather threats, according to the Storm Prediction Center.
**Based Oregon against DRUGS!
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) Where drugs are being re-criminalized… Oregon. Earlier this week, Gov. Tina Kotek (D) signed a new law restoring criminal penalties for the possession of small amounts of drugs. The measure is a reversal of a first-in-the-nation decriminalization effort that aimed to treat addiction in the state as a public health matter. Now, starting in September, possession of illicit drugs could result in up to 180 days in jail, with a focus on connecting individuals to addiction and mental health services. The new law comes amid a rise in fentanyl use and overdose deaths.
**Evil FDA supports an app for depression!
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) What got the FDA’s green light… A digital treatment for depression. Federal regulators have cleared the app Rejoyn to help treat major depressive disorder (MDD). Rejoyn provides six weeks of emotional training exercises and is meant to be used alongside antidepressants. Researchers reportedly say the app’s benefits are minimal and require more studies. Still, the app is expected to be available for download with a prescription for people 22 and older later this year.
**Depressed ‘Americans’
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) 18% of “American” adults that are battling depression, a 2023 Gallup report found.
REDUNDANT: This week, the FDA cleared the first prescription digital treatment for major depressive disorder. The app, called Rejoyn, uses a form of cognitive-emotional training to help manage depressive symptoms.

*Ukraine propaganda! RETREAT!
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) QUOTE: “We can’t waste time anymore.” — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, warning that Ukraine is scrambling “to find some way not to retreat” from Russian forces as US aid remains stalled. Zelensky also signed a law Tuesday lowering the minimum draft age from 27 to 25, potentially boosting the number of men available to fight Russia’s invasion.
**Retirement savings…
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) People stressing about… Retirement (AND THEY MAY NOT EVEN GET THERE!). According to one study, Americans think they’ll need more money than ever to retire comfortably. Specifically, $1.46 million. That's a 53% increase compared to what Americans thought they needed just four years ago. Even though Americans think they need more money, that doesn’t mean they are actually saving more. The average amount in a retirement savings fund fell slightly from last year to $88,400. The study comes as experts warn of a looming retirement crisis and as Social Security is projected to reduce benefits for retirees after 2034 (meanwhile they raise minimum wage and therefore the price of living). (theSkimm has tips.)
*Gaza drama
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) An Israeli airstrike has killed seven aid workers from the nonprofit World Central Kitchen as they were delivering food to starving civilians in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military “unintentionally struck innocent people” and the Israel Defense Forces pledged to investigate. Those killed include a dual US-Canada national, as well as people from Australia, Poland, three from the UK, and a Palestinian, the aid group said. The Washington-headquartered charity was one of the few organizations delivering desperately needed food in Gaza — where aid agencies warn half of the population is on the brink of starvation. President Joe Biden said he is “outraged” by the incident and called on the probe to “bring accountability.”
(theSkimm) Humanitarian efforts in Gaza are in limbo following the deaths of seven aid workers.
The nonprofit World Central Kitchen (WCK) suspended its operations in Gaza, a day after its aid workers were killed in an Israeli strike. WCK said its staff members had just helped unload more than 100 tons of food and that their movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military — a process that humanitarian groups typically follow in war zones. Israel said it’s investigating the incident, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a “tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people.” WCK said it’s provided over 41 million meals since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Now, its pause in operations has other aid groups reconsidering their work in Gaza.
Multiple aid organizations have also suspended their efforts in Gaza amid concerns over their workers’ safety, affecting food delivery and health care services. It comes as the UN said the strike on the WCK workers “is not an isolated incident,” and as at least 196 humanitarian workers have been killed since the start of the war. The pause in services from major aid groups could further deteriorate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the UN warns of an imminent famine. Meanwhile, world leaders have denounced the recent strike, with President Biden saying Israel “has not done enough to protect aid workers.”
theSkimm: The deaths of seven aid workers put a spotlight on the conditions humanitarian groups face in a war zone, and the difficulty of getting aid into Gaza. Now, as organizations halt their efforts, many are worried about how it’ll impact those in desperate need of help.

**Trump immunity
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) Most Americans are largely unconvinced that former President Donald Trump should be granted immunity from prosecution, according to a new Marquette Law School poll (justice is not a democracy).
NOT READ: The poll found that 56% backed the Supreme Court’s decision last month to keep Trump on the ballot despite claims he violated the “insurrectionist ban” in the 14th Amendment. However, 62% of respondents opposed granting “former presidents” immunity. The poll landed as the justices prepare to hear arguments this month in a blockbuster dispute over whether Trump may claim immunity from special counsel Jack Smith’s election subversion case in what will be one of the most closely watched cases of the year.

Taxes due
(CNN or theSkimm Wed 4-3-24) Your 2023 tax returns are due in two weeks — unless you’re among the millions of people who, for different reasons, are granted more time to file later this year. Taxpayers who choose the six-month extension option don’t need to give the IRS any explanation as to why they want more time. However, you should still pay all your taxes owed for 2023 by the April 15 deadline or you may be hit with a failure-to-pay penalty. Another large group of people who don’t have to file by Tax Day are those who live in or do business in a locality that was declared a federal disaster area last year. The IRS has already received more than 80 million income tax returns for 2023, data shows, but that is only about half of the total returns it is still expecting to be filed.
