We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Saying goodbye to some wonderful and amazing colleagues including @seanatgreenwire.bsky.social @michaeldoyle10.bsky.social @rbravender.bsky.social and Scott Streater.

Lots of E&E News greats are walking out the door today. A true tragedy.

And yet, @politico.com management still hasn’t met our main demand: Articulating the vision that allegedly precipitated these buyouts. We warned management when they announced this move that we would lose talented colleagues if they didn’t explain their reasons for doing this. 4/4

Buyouts from @politico.com represent:
21 percent of the newly-unified energy team, including 25 percent of @eenews.bsky.social
33 percent of Magazine

And more from the central editing desk, data, visuals, graphics and interactives teams. 3/4

The losses are particularly stark on the @eenews.bsky.social POLITICO Pro #Energy teams, whose remaining staff will still collectively produce six profitable publications daily despite the losses.

2/4

At least 19 of our @eenews.bsky.social Politico Pro colleagues have decided to take the buyout and leave us this week.

It's no small amount. Not everyone was offered a buyout @politico.com 1/4

Trump sidelines climate contrarians in science rollback The president has mocked global warming as a “hoax,” but his administration avoided testing that claim in court as it targeted the endangerment finding.

Climate denialists claimed victory when the Trump administration published an unprecedented report reliant on decades of debunked claims. The administration just proved it has no confidence their work could withstand scrutiny in a legal fight over climate regulations www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
