There’s a very strange story in the New York Times insinuating I’m a paid influencer for Mamdani, premised on one tweet I made in March praising him for cutting a $9m McKinsey contract. They know the story is false but published it anyway.

Jess is one of the best, kindest, most empathetic and clear-eyed reporters on the planet. She’s an even better colleague and friend. Hard to imagine HuffPost without her.

Today is my last day at HuffPost. After 11 years, I was laid off as part of the 33% cuts at BuzzFeed. My team, the National desk, was cut from 7 reporters to 3, after being cut from 14 to 7 just over a year ago

Nathalie is a great journalist and colleague. Huge loss for us. Someone will be very lucky to hire her.

After almost 5 years with HuffPost, I'm one of the people getting laid off. I'm so grateful for @huffpostunion this would be a lot scarier without them! If you're an editor looking for someone to report and write on race/culture wars, hit me up at [email protected]!

The moral of the boy who cried wolf is that the boy’s dishonesty was deadly to him, not that people were wrong to disbelieve him. If anyone with a hard earned reputation for honesty alleged fraud, they’d deserve a hearing. At this point that excludes the entire Republican Party.

The LA fraud story is really unconvincing on my read, but I wish people would be less knee-jerk in rejecting allegations of fraud. It does happen and elections have even been reversed in my lifetime because of it. The moral of the boy who cried wolf is not that wolves don’t exist

Let's assume, for argument's sake, that Nithya Raman really did, unlikely as it seems, got to second place in the LA mayoral race. The problem is that many, many, MANY of us simply cannot believe it. It seems for all the world like fraud. This matters, & is going to matter more.

There is a legitimate argument that Ketanji Brown Jackson’s appointment to the Supreme Court — which President Joe Biden specifically said was directly intended to put a black woman on the Supreme Court — was unconstitutional under federal law.

HuffPost is deeply alarmed by the news of Ahmed Shihab-Eldin’s detention and the indications that he is being held under Kuwait’s stifling new security laws for acts of journalism. Ahmed spent two years at HuffPost as a pioneering host and producer of HuffPost Live. He impressed colleagues and viewers alike with his compassion, determination and pursuit of the truth. Ahmed’s detention is greatly concerning. HuffPost calls on Kuwaiti authorities to release him immediately.

Brilliant piece by US HuffPost colleague @PaulBlu on the multitude of problems facing Donald Trump - and why he can't wriggle his way out of them. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/t…

Trump Can’t TACO His Way Out Of The Iran War

The president has wriggled his way out of every political jam he's found himself in over the past 10 years, but this time it really may be different.

To get the US into a crisis where Iran -- Iran! The world's premier sponsor of terrorism, which routinely murders its own people who to dare to dissent -- comes off as the innocent party... Well, that's something. Well done, Mr. President. huffpost.com/entry/donald-tr…

Trump's 'Civilization' Threat Isn't Just A War Crime
