The Washington Post on Tuesday informed its staff about impending layoffs at the company. The newspaper publication plans to cut 4% of its workforce, less than 100 people, across its business divisions to reduce costs. news: The Washington Post has begun laying off staff.

Washington Post lays off 4% of workforce as turmoil engulfs Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper https://t.co/FcxbzcBpKG pic.twitter.com/MmT4COz1hu — New York Post (@nypost) January 7, 2025 Fox Business reports: A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital earlier this week that, while newsroom staffers were exempted from the forthcoming layoffs, “morale is just horrible” under publisher Will Lewis due to an exodus of talent leaving for jobs at different outlets, as well as heavy financial losses and dwindling traffic. The layoffs come one year after The Post implemented mass buyouts. It was reported that 240 staffers took exit packages, preventing a round of layoffs at the time. It was reported last fall that The Post was on pace to lose $77 million in 2024, and that estimate came before the paper shed a jarring 250,000 subscribers as part of the liberal outrage over the paper’s move to not endorse a presidential candidate in the election, a decision made by its billionaire owner Jeff Bezos. The Post editorial board had been set, to no one’s surprise, to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris before Bezos intervened. Since it began offering White House endorsements in 1976, the paper has backed the Democratic candidate in every race except 1988, when it didn’t endorse anyone. The Washington Post is cutting 4 percent of its workforce https://t.co/5PoY7kt33o — The Hill (@thehill) January 7, 2025 Prior reports this week noted multiple political reporters who left the publication to work with other media companies. Per Axios: Monday brought more announcements about star political reporters leaving — another gut punch to the Post newsroom, which has seen a slew of top talent flee in recent weeks amid frustration with management. Puck announced it hired Leigh Ann Caldwell as its chief Washington correspondent. The Wall Street Journal confirmed it hired Josh Dawsey, one of the Post’s top Trump chroniclers. Last week, two of the Post’s other top political reporters, Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer, moved to The Atlantic. Tyler Pager, a rising talent, was poached by the New York Times as a White House reporter, joining former Post managing editor Matea Gold, who announced last month that she’s moving to the Times as deputy Washington bureau chief. On the opinion side, cartoonist Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize winner, quit last Friday. Several opinion editors stepped down from the Post’s editorial board last year after the paper’s endorsement of Vice President Harris for president was spiked at the 11th hour at the behest of owner Jeff Bezos.

The House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act on Tuesday, the first legislation approved in the new Congress. The bill passed by a vote of 264 to 159 and heads to the GOP-controlled Senate. All voting Republicans and 48 Democrats approved the legislation. #BREAKING: The US House has just PASSED the Laken Riley Act, which would force detention for illegal immigrants arrested for shoplifting and other crimes HUGE step in the right direction! But 159 Democrats voted against it. WHY? pic.twitter.com/vJd7OzuAIp — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) January 7, 2025 Fox News reports: The bill is named after a nursing student who was killed by an illegal immigrant while jogging on the University of Georgia’s campus. The bill would require federal immigration authorities to detain illegal immigrants found guilty of theft-related crimes. It also would allow states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for harm caused to their citizens because of illegal immigration. Jose Ibarra, who was sentenced to life in prison for Riley’s murder, had previously been arrested but was never detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, the agency previously said. Several first-term House Democrats crossed the aisle on the bill, including Reps. Derek Tran, D-Calif., John Mannion, D-N.Y., and Janelle Bynum, D-Ore., all of whom won close races against Republican incumbents for their seats. The bill passed the House along bipartisan lines last year after it was first introduced by Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga. BREAKING. The 119th Congress has passed its first bill: The Laken Riley Act.

Republicans and a small group of Democrats approved the bill in March, but it languished amid opposition in the Democratic-controlled Senate. With Republicans now holding majorities in both chambers, and President-elect Trump set to be sworn in to the White House later this month, GOP lawmakers are making another attempt at moving the measure. “We’ve been very focused on border security; the Laken Riley Act makes it clear, if you’re committing crimes in America against people, it’s not going to be tolerated,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) told reporters Tuesday. “Now with [Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.)] saying he’s gonna bring it up in the Senate as early as this week, we can actually get that bill signed into law.” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) became the first Senate Democrat to sponsor the Laken Riley Act this week.

That’s not my headline, that’s a headline from the Associated Press that I wanted to show you: And here’s a small snippet from the article, explaining more: The last time a president was inaugurated, there was a global pandemic and a violent siege at the very spot at the U.S. Capitol where the ceremony takes place. This time, the event is happening as part of an unprecedented string of high-stakes security events in the nation’s capital. The Jan. 20 swearing-in caps a two-week stretch of national special security events — occasions of the highest national significance that get a boost in federal funding and are led by the U.S. Secret Service. The others include the electoral count on Monday and former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral on Thursday. There’s also a major rally planned for President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 19 at Capital One Arena. “This has never happened before,” Matt McCool, the U.S. Secret Service special agent in charge of the Washington field office, said of the back-to-back-to-back events. “But we’re flexible and adaptable. … We’re going to be prepared.” Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will take the oath of office from the west front of the Capitol amid extra tight security. Some elements, like a sea of federal agents and police, will be visible. Others, like bomb detection devices, snipers and radiation detectors, will be harder to spot. The outgoing president, Joe Biden, will attend the inauguration, and it’s customary for the living former presidents to attend as well. Trump, a Republican, is also putting his own mark on the event by being the first president-elect to invite world leaders to his inauguration. At least one, Argentine President Javier Milei, is planning to be there. But now I want to advance the story and show you a SPECIFIC THREAT that has been confirmed against President Trump during these next two weeks. It comes from Patrick Bet-David who personally vetted this source with his team over several hours in person in Florida. BREAKING: Patrick Bet-David Issues New URGENT Warning For President Trump’s Life! Patrick Bet-David just released one of his most powerful shows he has ever done and it included an urgent warning for President Trump's safety. We all know the time leading up to January 20th is a very dangerous time, we've been shouting it from the rooftops around here. But Patrick added significant new information and that's what I want to share with you right now. He started by noting this article from the WaPo, which notes how deeply strained the Secret Service will be from now until January 20th with "unprecedented prominent events" in a short period of time: Why does that matter? We all saw that back in July in Butler, PA the Secret Service was woefully unable to protect President Trump from an assassination attempt. The reasons given were many, but one was that there was a competing rally with Jill Biden and they were spread too thing. While I think that's a joke, imagine how much worse it will be in the two weeks leading up to January 20th? The WaPo is right, this is unprecedented with Jimmy Carter's funeral, related events and demonstrations stretching out for a week's period of time, plus President Trump's Rally on January 19th in D.C. and the Inauguration on the 20th in D.C. and it's all just too much: In a span of 15 days, law enforcement will be providing security for three “national special security events,” the highest federal protective status, for the electoral count on Monday, former president Jimmy Carter’s state funeral on Thursday and the inauguration on Jan. 20. In between, there will also be demonstrations and other events, such as President-elect Donald Trump’s rally at Capital One Arena on Jan. 19. “That has never happened before,” William “Matt” McCool, the special agent in charge for the Secret Service’s Washington Field Office, said at a news conference Friday, referring to hosting three national special security events so close together. In fact, just a few days ago we wrote that President Trump should consider a significantly scaled down rally in a secure location somewhere other than DC: Could Trump Inauguration Be Somewhere Other Than DC? Many of you agreed with that idea. Then we have Dan Bongino who spent years in the top ranks of the Secret Service saying this:  "Do not trust the FBI or Secret Service until there’s a full change in management" . Your life is at risk: Dan Bongino is back and he has a direct message for Donald Trump. ‘Do not trust the FBI or Secret Service until there’s a full change in management’ PROTECT DONALD TRUMP AT ALL COSTS ?? pic.twitter.com/ohLgPKyFsp — MAGA Voice (@MAGAVoice) January 6, 2025 One more also from Dan Bongino.... Watch here as Dan Bongino says to cancel the January 19th victory rally -- it's not safe: Trump should not be doing this rally on the Eve of the Inauguration! Listen to Dan Bongino! pic.twitter.com/lkBGU37LKk — Mike Engleman (@RealHickory) January 6, 2025 But that's not where this article ends, that's only where this article begins. Because mostly we've all already know these facts. The new information comes from Patrick Bet-David who says a man contacted him with inside information about a threat on President Trump's life before the Inauguration. Running a show as large as the PBD Podcast, they get calls like this all the time.  And they initially dismissed it. But then the man boards a plane and flies to Florida to meet, and PBD and his team personally vet him in person for hours. They record a long interview that may or may not ever air. But PBD comes away from the meeting with confirmation that the man is authentic, he is credentialed, and he is a reliable source.  And the threat is real. Listen to PBD tell it in his own words: RED ALERT -- Patrick Bet-David issues emergency warning for imminent danger to President Trump from eye-witness source. "Unprecedented period of prominent events" pic.twitter.com/il7GSOb7Mg — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) January 7, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: Anyways, long story short, after 2 hours of talking to me, he’s—you know, just think about an Eastern European man. And he starts showing me things on his computer. Very disturbing, some of the stuff he showed me. And then I said, look, finally it was at a point—the whole team is waiting to see if we’re going to do anything or not. I said, look, here’s what it’s come down to. If you don’t tell me your name, I have to wrap this up. My kids are going to school the next day. It’s their first day back from holidays. We’ve got to wrap it up. So he’s getting very uncomfortable at this time. So finally, he says—he makes a couple of phone calls—and he says, “Here is my name.” And he shows me his ID. I think that’s when you walked in, right? When he walked in and you saw him give me the ID? I look at the name. So I go online, and I’m like: interviews with him from 15 years ago on YouTube, ten years ago, nine years ago, seven years ago, six years ago, three years ago—having nothing to do with politics. All to do with technology and engineering and chips. That’s the business he’s in. Nothing to do with that. So then I’m like—so finally I said, “Okay.” And I noticed something: that he got an award, which I don’t want to be too specific about because if I tell you the award, you’ll know. Yeah. So all this stuff is documented. Okay. So I said, “If we do this, I don’t recommend you do this, but I’m going to talk about somebody I met without giving any intel. I’ll talk about it tomorrow.” And he’s getting more and more nervous. I said, “If we do it, we’ll cover the face, do the audio.” “Well, I don’t want to do audio. Let’s have me tell John, and then John tells you.” I said, “I’m not going to compromise our relationship, our reputation, what we have with the podcast. People trust us. When we talk, they want to listen to them, and I want to vet it. I recommend you not do it at this point.” Rob’s in the room. Rob, you’re in the room. I think it’s me, you, and him, and another one of our guys that’s in the room as well. And I said to him, “Don’t do the interview. Fly back home.” You were there when I specifically said that, correct? Right. Okay. I said, “If we do it, we have to do it in this following way.” That took around how long? The entire conversation. The entire conversation? This is after two and a half hours of me being with him, then you come in. About 45 minutes. About 45 minutes. 45 minutes later, he’s extremely uncomfortable. “I got to use the bathroom. I got to use the bathroom.” Okay, great. Boom, boom, boom. We get on the golf cart. We go to the other building to start the interview. At this point, I want to say I remembered when we started the interview—it was 8:41. So when we started, the start time was 8:41, and we ended up like 9:30 or something like that. And then, you know, he was here. We had to order food because nobody had eaten anything for hours, and our production team was waiting.

A team of researchers from the University of Toronto documented a case study of a 19-year-old woman whose breast size massively enlarged after receiving the COVID-19 jab. The woman’s breasts grew from a B cup to a triple G in six months post-inoculation. “True parenchymal breast changes following COVID-19 vaccination are exceedingly rare. Equally rare are incidences of pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH)–associated gigantomastia. The patient in this case report presented with both occurrences and experienced massive breast enlargement 1 week postadministration of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, which worsened after her second dose,” the researchers wrote in the Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery-Global Open journal. “Definitive treatment was achieved through reduction mammoplasty, with the final pathology report confirming uniformly dense terminal duct lobular units with interspersed PASH units. The association between the COVID-19 vaccine, PASH, and breast hypertrophy warrants further investigation to comprehend the spectrum of reactions to the vaccine,” the researchers added. “The patient believed that the vaccine caused her breast growth; however, her concerns were not adequately addressed by her primary care physicians, leading to mistrust in the healthcare system,” the researchers wrote. The researchers cited others on social media who believe they experienced similar breast growth after the COVID-19 shot, nicknaming it the “Pfizer b**b job.” NEW: A 19-year-old woman’s breasts stunningly grew from a B cup to a triple G in the six months following her Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination in what researchers are calling a first-of-its-kind case, NY Post reports — Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) January 7, 2025 From the New York Post: The study authors pointed to the so-called “Pfizer b**b job” phenomenon — some women claimed their breasts grew after getting the shot, but there’s no evidence that was the case. The researchers report that while lymph node swelling is a “known side effect” of COVID-19 vaccination, changes to the structure or density of breast tissue are “exceedingly rare.” The study authors said there’s only been one published case detailing distinctive breast changes after the Pfizer booster, and it was a noticeable lump. This woman did not have a lump. The woman was found to have a very rare condition in which a benign lesion called PASH causes extreme breast enlargement — fewer than 20 cases have ever been documented. “This case is the first to demonstrate a temporal association between PASH-associated gigantomastia and a vaccine,” the researchers wrote. " The patient initially reported tingling paresthesia in her breasts, followed by sudden bilateral growth which worsened after receiving the second (Pfizer mRNA) vaccine dose. Over 6 months, her breast size increased from a B cup to a triple G" https://t.co/icAofiZd5h pic.twitter.com/465Xd72W86 — They Keep Saying Its Rare (@mRNAdeaths) January 3, 2025 From the Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery-Global Open: A healthy, nulliparous 19-year-old woman experienced significant breast hypertrophy starting 1 week after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in September 2022. Her medical history was unremarkable, with no hormonal disturbances detected on bloodwork. The patient initially reported tingling paresthesia in her breasts, followed by sudden bilateral growth which worsened after receiving the second vaccine dose. Over 6 months, her breast size increased from a B cup to a triple G (Fig. 1). Physical examination revealed dense, warm, edematous, ptotic breasts with no palpable masses or axillary lymphadenopathy. Breast ultrasound and chest computed tomography showed diffuse bilateral breast enlargement with mild axillary lymphadenopathy and hyperattenuating areas likely representing hypertrophic tissue. Core biopsies suggested fibroepithelial lesions, such as fibroadenoma, hamartoma, and PASH. Despite a trial of steroids and antibiotics, symptoms persisted and no clear etiology was identified, leading to the decision of surgical management. Eleven months post vaccine, the plastic surgery team opted for bilateral reduction mammoplasty, as breast growth had stabilized for 5 months and comprehensive work-up was normal. Intraoperatively, a Wise pattern reduction with a superomedial pedicle approach was performed. Despite standard blood loss control methods, there was significant blood loss (1.2–1.5 L), likely due to increased tissue vascularity and inadequate penetration of tumescence in dense tissue. Hemodynamic stability was regained with intravenous fluid support; however, further reduction was limited to minimize greater blood loss. Left and right specimens weighed 1906 and 1664 g, respectively, reducing her breast size from a triple G to a double D (Figs. 2, 3). Final pathology confirmed hypertrophied glandular breast tissue with multiple well-defined regions of PASH bilaterally (Fig. 3). The patient additionally had increased density of terminal duct lobular units interspersed with PASH. Due to significant intraoperative blood loss, the patient’s hemoglobin dropped from 11 g/dL preoperatively to 6.7 g/dL postoperatively, necessitating transfusion of 3 units of packed red blood cells over 2 days. By postoperative day 2, her hemoglobin stabilized at 8.1 g/dL, and she was discharged. On postoperative day 3, she returned to the emergency department with fever (103.1°F) and chest pain but remained hemodynamically stable. There was no evidence of infection, transfusion reaction, bleeding, or pulmonary embolism. Her hemoglobin dropped to 7.2 g/dL, and she received 300 mg intravenous Venofer, with plans for further outpatient doses. At 5 months postoperation, breast asymmetry and areolar hypopigmentation were noted. There has been no recurrence of breast growth, and further breast reduction is being considered to correct asymmetry and return to her normal breast size.
