I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The workers at Rivers Casino in Portsmouth have secured a union contract.

The labor agreement will give casino workers guaranteed raises, employer-paid health care coverage and additional time off.

The little fish at the center of a big debate in the Chesapeake No one — fisherman, conservationist or scientist — can say for certain how “the most important fish” is really faring in the Chesapeake Bay.

An industrial menhaden fishery out of Virginia is the last of its kind on the Atlantic seaboard. Some say it's decimating a keystone Chesapeake fish with big fallout for other bay species.

But, perhaps thanks to industry political donations, no one can prove it: www.thebanner.com/community/cl...

Me when I work very hard on a story for several weeks

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

After Greg Abbott took theirs, Houstonians are painting rainbows everywhere "The more rainbows I can paint, the better."

Senate votes to quash Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ global tariffs The bipartisan move is symbolic, as the House has passed a rule against legislation to block tariffs this year.

The Senate on Thursday voted 51-47 to eliminate the national emergency underpinning President Trump’s global tariffs — its third rebuke of his trade policy this week, after bipartisan votes to roll back duties on goods from Canada and Brazil.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

We’ve all assumed shutdown hasn’t really changed dynamics for this year’s elections

But one month point is a bit of an important marker with no end in sight

‘I Had the Name First!’: The Other Bill DeBlasio Is Tired of Receiving Your Hate Mail For Bill DeBlasio, a normal dad on Long Island, it’s an endless hell sharing a name with the loathed mayor of New York City

Back in 2020, I profiled a random Long Island dad named Bill DeBlasio, who constantly received vicious hate mail intended for Bill de Blasio. This is the same guy who just pranked The Times of London into publishing anti-Zohran quotes from Mayor de Blasio.

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the public—more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protest—and live on military bases.

Biden adviser says he would have received $4 million bonus for 2024 win Mike Donilon’s total potential pay package was unusually large and outsized compared to the salaries of senior campaign officials working for the president’s reelection.
