This is such a fun job market. I applied to this position in mid-July and in late September, they provided an update letting me know they were still reviewing applications. Today I received another update letting me know...they were still reviewing applications.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

Devastating news. Readers are going to miss out on so much great journalism.
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.

CBS--an early climate leader--is gutting its climate team, @sammyroth.bsky.social reports. Of the 6-person #Climate team, 4 lost their jobs, a fifth may yet be reassigned to non-climate stories.
Journalism is tough, expensive, time-consuming and requires skill and editorial support. It's essential.

Thousands of Indigenous people across the Mountain West are among those who will lose SNAP food benefits if the government shutdown continues. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said SNAP will run out of money on Nov. 1.

The agencies that are in charge of bank supervision have been decimated by staffing cuts and, in the case of the CFPB, are barreling toward extinction which could prompt another financial crisis. From @dylangyauchl.bsky.social:

Bank supervision consists of two main prongs: risk management and compliance. On the compliance side, consumer protection laws are being enforced less than at any time since at least the Great Recession.

Will D.C. end up footing the costs for SNAP food benefits should federal funding lapse this weekend? @cmfrumin.bsky.social tells me a decision from @mayorbowser.dc.gov should come by tomorrow.
NEWS: D.C. is joining 22 other states in suing the Trump administration over its decision to not tap contingency funds to cover SNAP benefits for November. Funding for SNAP will lapse this weekend because of the shutdown, and in D.C. almost 140,000 residents could be impacted.

The fight against female genital mutilation is being co-opted by anti-trans activists, hindering urgent laws from being passed.

And as the White House and Republicans falsely conflate FGM with gender-affirming care, it’s only getting worse.
