How Newsweek Collapsed
Will Oremus, Slate
Oremus writes: "In fall 2017, a high-ranking editor at Newsweek was fired four days after filing a grievance to the magazine's human resources department, complaining of gender discrimination and bullying, and proposing an agreement to leave the company. Her termination letter, which Slate viewed, did not mention the HR complaints. Instead, it laid out a laundry list of performance and conduct concerns."

California's Attorney General Puts Polluters on Notice With New Environmental Justice Unit
Mark Hand, ThinkProgress
Hand writes: "California is working hard to pick up the slack created by the Trump administration's ongoing campaign to curtail enforcement of environmental laws across the nation.
