[Juan Lozano @juanlozano70]

After nearly 27 years as a reporter for the Associated Press, my time with the company has abruptly come to an end. I was part of a group of AP employees around the country who were laid off today. I was hoping I could survive layoffs after buyouts but it was not to be. (1/ 7)

[Mike Sisak @mikesisak]

Another hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP — this one involuntarily via layoffs. Reporters in big cities and state capitols. People who’ve broken some of the biggest stories of our time and improved the public’s understanding of important issues. It’s heartbreaking.

[Gary Robertson @garydrobertson]

It’s personal news time: My nearly 33-year run at The Associated Press has come to an end. Like dozens of colleagues in the company, I accepted a buyout. My last day was Thursday. (1/6)

"Trump’s approval rating on the economy dropped to 30% in April from 38% in a March AP-NORC poll. A similarly low share of U.S. adults, 32%, approve of the president’s leadership on Iran, which is unchanged since last month." via @joshboak @linleyann

[AP News Guild @APNewsGuild]

AP journalists in the U.S. are on the frontlines providing essential news coverage and documenting history each and every day.

AP was there because WE were there.

But more than 120 AP guild covered employees across the country were offered buyouts on April 6, and layoffs could be coming. And that makes the guild wonder, will AP be there for you in the future?

We need your help. Tell AP leadership to support the stories that matter and the people that cover them. Comment on stories you care about on https://t.co/wSijsMnjaU and on AP social media posts. Text AP’s Signal at [phone].

[Chris Megerian @ChrisMegerian]

Gallup polling shows Americans no longer sympathize with Israelis more than Palestinians, the culmination of a slow shift that accelerated during the war in Gaza. @LinleyAnn has the story https://t.co/7N0uM0dznH

[Stephanie Liechtenstein @StLiechtenstein]

As the U.S. and Iran head into nuclear talks in Geneva, a new AP-NORC poll finds that most Americans see Iran as an enemy but doubt Trump’s judgment on military force abroad.

“Interviews with Republicans who took the poll suggest that political violence and nagging worries about social discord are playing a role in the notable shift in their mood after a summer scarred by killings of figures on both sides…,” w/@linleyann

Teenagers are more upbeat than adults on college despite concerns about tuition costs, soaring student loan debt and the politicization of many issues in higher education... Read more about this @APNORC survey in my latest story for @AP with @LinleyAnn: https://t.co/wuJrsaFdds

…about one-third of Democrats are “very optimistic” or even “somewhat optimistic” about their party’s future. That’s down sharply from July 2024, when about 6 in 10 Democrats said they had a positive outlook. ⁦@sppeoples⁩ ⁦@LinleyAnn⁩ https://t.co/xBuwTy7WwZ

As several of Donald Trump’s choices for high-level positions in his incoming administration face scrutiny on Capitol Hill, a new AP-NORC poll shows that Americans have their own doubts.
