Skimm This: Work Requirements for Medicaid, Huawei, and the GLAAD Media Awards

It’s March 28th. Happy pre-Friday. Today, we Skimm’d This:

• A couple of states have said that they want people to work in exchange for free or low-cost healthcare coverage through Medicaid. Yesterday, a judge in DC told those states, ‘you can’t do that.’ So we’re breaking down the debate over those work requirements for Medicaid.

• Most of the world runs on 4G. The Chinese tech giant Huawei wants to upgrade you to 5G. One problem: lots of governments – the US, Australia, and now the UK – think Huawei’s tech is full of security loopholes. Stay with us. We’ll decode the drama over 5G.

• The GLAAD Media Awards are going down in Los Angeles tonight. Jay Z and Beyoncé are getting a nod. We’ll tell you about Sarah Kate Ellis, the CEO and President of the nonprofit. But only if you pinky-promise to leave us a voicemail at 646.461.6370 to tell us about your woman of the week.

• And finally, we’ve got some bad news from the produce aisle. Avocadon’t worry, we’ll tell you what you need to know.
