"'What happens in a world where people wake up and Democrats have won some seats in Texas. It creates a very different political map,' said Kendall Scutter, chair of the Texas Democratic Party. 'And for somebody like @elonmusk, if you think retribution isn’t on the way, you’re mistaken.'"
Texas Dem Party Chair says Musk's record-breaking spending warrants "retribution" if Ds take power.
Silicon Valley Dem says the party shouldn't waste time with "outrage theater" but wants to "hit [Musk] in the pocketbook."

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 was my last day at HuffPost. Like many others, I was hit by mass layoffs at BuzzFeed. I've done my best to hold power to account and tell complex stories with care, and I'm going to keep doing that. So please keep sending me tips!

The president owns a bank. What could go wrong? huffpost.com/entry/trump-cry…
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.
We get it, you're an idiot and we all have to deal with it.

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.
Paul Blumenthal retweeted
CPJ calls on Kuwaiti authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Kuwaiti-American journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, detained under new security and fake news laws.
Journalism is not a crime.
