With 10 days until our contract expires, our unit is not willing to settle for less. We're standing together until we reach a fair deal.

[HuffPost Union @HuffPostUnion]

We received our first counterproposals from management today with disappointing language — including no guaranteed wage increases this year and rollbacks of hard-fought language on diversity and severance. We stand united and ready to fight for the contract we deserve.

Still no guidance from the USDA on whether partial SNAP benefits will be paid in November.

USDA said in court they would. Then THE PRESIDENT said they would not. Then the press secretary contradicted the president.

Maybe the agency responsible for the benefits could chime in?

Chris Van Hollen, unlikely resistance hero.

Good morning. ☕️

We are looking at the possible political weaponization of SOCIAL SECURITY, of all things.

I'm honored to have won a WGA Award for Outstanding Writing for my feature on Hamas' view of the Gaza war 6 months after Oct 7 — a beast of reporting + writing made possible by my incredible colleagues @HuffPost 🙏🏽🧿

Here's to more journalistic ambition & to solidarity, forever.

I wrote about all the places in America where Trump got lots of votes — and his MAGA/DOGE agenda is hitting hard

President Trump said he thought HuffPost had “died” after clashing with one of its reporters. Fortunately, we’re very much alive.

oh Trump is def gonna freak out

[Jonathan Nicholson @JNicholsonInDC]

My last story for HuffPost (sniff!) up now: how DOGE access to Trsy's payment systems could also set up GOP to fulfill a dream some have had for years: "prioritizing" which bills to pay -- ie, defaulting on some -- when debt limit is reached.

A statement from the HuffPost Union @WGAEast on this week’s job cuts

[Lilli Petersen @LPonrecord]

Can confirm Jonathan is the best at walking the confused (me) through some economics stuff. A true gem

[Christopher Mathias @letsgomathias]

After over a decade at @HuffPost, I’ve decided to take a buyout in the latest round of layoffs.

It's tough to leave a place I love & I’m so grateful for all the people here, & all the faith they’ve put in me through the years.
