Jake Lahut, a Wired reporter who from the Nancy Mace airport story last week, was among those fired.

During the incident, CN's HR chief asked staff not to congregate outside his office. Lahut asked "what's your definition of congregating?" and was let go later on Wednesday.

From my new piece re: Calley Means. I went to a private dinner the night of Kennedy's confirmation & Del Bigtree said this (below). It's such a clear acknowledgement of the role food activism played/plays in MAHA, smoothing out the rough edges of anti-vax activism.

The influencer Jessica Reed Kraus gained popularity chronicling Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,’s Presidential campaign. During the second Trump Administration, she has continued to grow her audience—with political gossip and what she calls “quality conspiracy.”

Why Pam Bondi Is the Attorney General of Trump’s Dreams
The upheaval under Bondi has left the Justice Department hollowed out, with consequences likely to outlast her tenure and reshape the institution itself.
