Wildfires in BC (evacuations!) polluting US air // Gaza drama // Ukraine propaganda // Bob Menendez “corruption” trial, second in 7 years // Maya Rudolph “mom” back on SNL for mother’s day disgustingness //
*Wildfires in BC, Canada! Bad air in USA!
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) Thousands across British Columbia, Canada, were urged to evacuate from blazing wildfires over the weekend. The resulting smoke could last for the next two days — leading to poor air quality and reduced visibility in US states such as Minnesota.
*Gaza drama
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) Top US officials offered stark warnings Sunday against an Israeli invasion of Rafah, predicting that a major ground offensive in the southern Gaza city would lead to widespread civilian casualties, spark a Hamas insurgency and create a power vacuum the terror group would later seek to fill. The alarm bells from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan came after President Joe Biden delivered an ultimatum last week that an Israeli invasion of Rafah would cause him to pause certain weapons transfers. Blinken and Sullivan both said Biden made the determination because he didn’t want American weapons used in what he estimated would be a bloody, ill-advised operation. At least 360,000 people have fled Rafah ahead of Israel’s planned invasion, the UN says.
theSkimm: Where humanitarian concerns are mounting… Gaza. The UN warned the southern city of Rafah could soon run out of food aid. It comes as at least 300,000 people have fled Rafah ahead of an Israeli ground offensive, according to the UN. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave one of the Biden administration’s harshest public criticisms of Israel’s conduct during the war. In a pair of TV interviews yesterday, Blinken said that Israel lacked a “credible plan” to protect the more than 1 million Palestinian civilians in Rafah, adding that an assault on the city “risks doing terrible harm” without eliminating a lasting insurgency from Hamas.
Ukraine propaganda
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) The situation in the northern Kharkiv region of Ukraine has “significantly worsened,” according to Ukraine’s top general, after Russia claimed to have captured additional villages — expanding its surprise cross-border offensive. The precise goal of Russia’s new push, which began late last week, is unclear. It may be to create a buffer zone designed to reduce Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory, or possibly even a renewed assault on the city of Kharkiv, less than 20 miles to the south. According to information from the Defense Ministry in Moscow, Russia now claims control over nine Ukrainian border villages northeast of Kharkiv.
*Leave poor Bob Menendez alone!
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey faces his second, distinct bribery and corruption trial in seven years — with jury selection expected to start today. The trial involves gold bars, envelopes of cash, a Mercedes and more that, prosecutors say, Menendez received in exchange for granting favors for people from Egypt and Qatar and trying to influence a New Jersey prosecution. Menendez, the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will be tried alongside two New Jersey businessmen who are co-defendants. His wife, Nadine, also has been charged but will be tried separately. All four have pleaded not guilty.
theSkimm: Where gold bars may carry some weight… Sen. Bob Menendez’s (D-NJ) criminal trial. Today marks the start of the senator's second bribery and corruption trial within a decade. This time, Menendez faces 16 felony counts, including extortion and obstruction of justice, for allegedly accepting gifts in exchange for helping Egyptian and Qatari officials close business deals. Prosecutors said Menendez received gold bars, cash, a convertible Mercedes, and Formula 1 race tickets, to name a few. Menendez could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted on all charges. His defense could include blaming his wife and bringing in a psychiatrist to testify about his habit of keeping piles of cash. Menendez has maintained he is innocent amid calls from his Democratic colleagues to resign.
**Maya Rudolph is the ultimate ‘mother’ in showstopping ‘SNL’ opening monologue
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) The “Saturday Night Live” alum came out to greet the audience after a cold open during which the cast welcomed their real-life mothers onto the stage to tell jokes in honor of Mother’s Day. OH LORD THAT MUST’VE BEEN AWFUL / BORING… Who reminded everyone she is “mother”... Maya Rudolph. DISGUSTING.

**Apple Store workers in Maryland vote to authorize strike
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) Apple Store workers in Towson*, Maryland (Baltimore suburb) — the first of the tech giant’s retail employees to unionize — made history again by voting over the weekend in favor of authorizing a strike. DEGENERATE!
*72% white, 16% black, 6% “Asian,” and 4% Hispanic, 0.2% American Indian (Population 55K, in 2020)
**Target not so ham-fisted on the Gay Agenda
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) What won’t be at every Target location… [false] "Pride" merchandise. The retailer confirmed that its LGBTQIA+ merch will be limited to select stores and its website this year. It comes after Target experienced backlash and a boycott last year, prompting the company to take down some of its Pride merch. Target didn’t say which stores would move forward with Pride displays but that it would make its decisions based on “guest insights and consumer research.”
**Jerry Seinfeld gave advice to 2024 grads
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) The comedian was Duke University’s 2024 commencement speaker, offering graduates some unconventional advice. He said to heck with passion… use your privilege, something, something, idk… pro-Palestinian protestors walked out during graduation (maybe 200, I heard) maybe cause he’s Jewish?
*Novak Djokovic got beaten!
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) It took 67 minutes for Alejandro Tabilo to achieve what other tennis players have unsuccessfully tried to do on countless occasions — beat world No. 1 BASED No-Vaxx Novak Djokovic. The Chilean defeated the top seed 6-2 6-3 in the third round of the Italian Open on Sunday in what was the first meeting between the pair. WOW!
**Based One True Justice Clarence Thomas
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) QUOTE: “I think what you’re gonna find, and especially in Washington, [is] people pride themselves in being awful.” — Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, pushing back on his critics during remarks at a judicial conference in Alabama and lamenting what he described as the “nastiness” and “lies” directed at him and calling Washington a “hideous place.”
*RIP movie producer
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) Roger Corman, a colorful producer and director whose low-budget movies — including the original “Little Shop of Horrors” (hated it on the stage) — helped establish major Hollywood talents like Jack Nicholson and directors James Cameron and Martin Scorsese, has died. He was 98. Dubbed the King of the B Movies, Corman’s brand of unabashed exploitation fare flourished in the 1950s and ‘60s, including a series of films adapting the works of Edgar Allan Poe, most of them starring Vincent Price (whoever that is).
NOT READ:
Miami Beach PD has a Rolls-Royce
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) Miami Beach Police Department added a Rolls-Royce to its squad… Nice. — unveiled a promotional Rolls-Royce loaned by Braman Motors and wrapped in MBPD's black-and-white patrol design. It will appear at recruitment events until the dealership wants to take it back.
*Auroras light the sky during rare solar storm
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) See the dazzling Auroras created around the globe by a series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun.
Trump trial, blah blah blah
(CNN or theSkimm Mon 5-13-24) speaking of trials… Michael Cohen — former President Trump’s ex-lawyer who allegedly paid hush money to Stormy Daniels — is expected to testify today.
Donald Trump’s former lawyer is expected to take the stand today as a key witness in the Manhattan district attorney’s case against the former president. Michael Cohen will testify about his role in negotiating the $130,000 hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, as well as how he was reimbursed through retainer payments in 2017. Those allegations are at the heart of the charges against Trump. With Cohen’s testimony, however, comes all of the baggage that accompanies the former president’s longtime fixer. Cohen himself was federally charged with campaign finance violations, tax crimes and lying to Congress in previous testimony. He’s changed his story as he turned from loyal Trump defender to chief antagonist after pleading guilty to federal charges in 2018.
