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.

"The ADL’s efforts highlight a troubling contrast between the multi-racial coalition that worked tirelessly to elect Mamdani with the people who’ve been taught to fear him. Where we see a pocket of blue sky for the first time in a year, they see an apocalypse. I don’t know how to reconcile the two."

Last last night, the USDA told a federal court that it would be revising its approach in a way that could see families receiving more in SNAP this month. USDA basically said it had screwed up, after the agency and WH spent a day ignoring my inquiries. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
