    What is 4/20, and why is it a stoner holiday? A look at how ‘420’ became linked to marijuana Friday is April 20, or 4/20. That’s the numerical code for marijuana’s high holiday, a homage to pot’s enduring appeal and universal slang for smoking. Festivities are planned worldwide, culminating with a synchronized smoke at 4:20 p.m. How the marijuana-loving world came to mark the occasion is believed traceable to five Northern California men now in their 60s with bad backs and graying hair. They are the unofficial grandmasters by virtue of the code they created nearly 50 years ago as students at a suburban San Francisco high school in 1971.

    President Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, appeared in court in New York yesterday over an FBI seizure of his documents. In a surprising twist, Cohen was forced to reveal the name of one of his clients: Fox News host Sean Hannity. Later on his show, Hannity said he’d sometimes received legal advice from Cohen but never paid him. NY TIMES “That sounds normal. He has a lawyer he doesn’t pay… By the way, I’m thinking of hiring Michael Cohen as my lawyer. He only has three clients and apparently he works for free.” — Jimmy Kimmel

    WHAT HAPPENED: The United States, U.K. and France launched more than 100 missiles at three chemical weapons facilities in Syria as retaliation for an apparent chemical attack in Douma that killed dozens of people, including children.

REUTERS WHAT’S NEXT: Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that more Western attacks on Syria would bring “chaos” to international affairs. Today the U.S. is expected to announce new economic sanctions on companies “dealing with equipment” related to Syria’s alleged chemical weapons use. CNBC

    ALL OPTIONS ON TABLE: The U.S. says “all options are on the table” in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria, but that a final decision on military strikes hasn’t been made. The White House says Russia and Syria are responsible for the alleged chemical attack, in which dozens of people were killed. BBC TWITTER THREAT: President Trump warned Russia, via tweet, about missiles that will be headed to Syria: “Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!” The tweet followed comments from a Russian official who said Russia would shoot down incoming U.S. missiles.

    CHEMICAL ATTACK: The United Nations Security Council will hold an emergency meeting to discuss a suspected chemical attack by the Syrian government on civilians. The attack happened in the Syrian city of Douma, killing dozens of people, including entire families. NPR RESPONSE: In a tweet, President Trump blamed Syrian President Bashar Assad and his allies, Russia and Iran, for the attack, saying “President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price…to pay.” BBC MISSILE STRIKE: After President Trump’s warning, there was an airstrike at a Syrian base– although the Pentagon denies responsibility.
