Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:03:38 GMT

(The Hill) -- Condé Nast, the media conglomerate that owns and operates Vogue, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, along with a number of other properties, has plans to cut hundreds of jobs before the end of the year. The coming layoffs will affect some 270 employees, the New York Times reported, citing a note to employees from Roger Lynch, the company's chief executive. In his note, Lynch said the job reductions are necessary given recent digital advertising pressures, a decline in social media traffic across the industry and other factors. “While we can’t control platform algorithms or how A.I. may change search traffic,” Lynch wrote, according to the Times, “we believe our long-term success will be determined by growing the many areas that we can control, including subscriptions and e-commerce, where we directly own the relationship with our audience.” Fed holds off on rate hike for second straight meeting In a subsequent interview with the Times, Lynch said the company has been ...

Trudy Rubin: The roots and nuances of the Israel-Hamas war

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:03:38 GMT

As I’ve watched the heartbreaking scenes of death and destruction during the last few weeks — of the monstrous attack by Hamas on innocent Israelis, of Gazan civilians desperately seeking water and shelter from Israeli bombs — my mind has often turned to a dear Palestinian friend in Gaza City whom I used to visit decades ago.Mary Khaas ran kindergartens in Gazan refugee camps for the Philadelphia-based American Friends Service Committee. She used to drive her Palestinian teachers from their refugee camp into Israel to visit her Jewish friends at Nahal Oz, a kibbutz that was full of Israeli “peaceniks” who believed in a two-state solution.She also believed in two states, Israeli and Palestinian, together, and wanted each side to stop demonizing the other.That was then.On Oct. 7, Nahal Oz was destroyed by Hamas terrorists, who brutally massacred more than 100 of its residents, burned down its homes and kidnapped scores of men, women and children.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:03:38 GMT

By STEVE KARNOWSKI and NICHOLAS RICCARDIST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Efforts to use the Constitution’s “insurrection” clause to prevent former President Donald Trump from running again for the White House turn to Minnesota on Thursday with oral arguments before the state Supreme Court, a hearing that will unfold as a similar case plays out in Colorado.Those lawsuits are among several filed around the country to bar Trump from state ballots in 2024 over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, an assault intended to halt Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s win. The Colorado and Minnesota cases are furthest along, putting one or both on an expected path to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has never decided the issue.The central argument is the same — that Section Three of the 14th Amendment bars from holding office anyone who previously swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” against it.In the Minnesota case, the plaintiffs are asking the...
