USA TODAY is cutting resources and people from newsrooms like @detroitnews while expecting more without raising wages. They are still refusing to agree to a fair contract. We’re back at the bargaining table today and it’s time for @USATODAY to show it values its journalists.
Max Bryan retweeted
USA Today has yet to recognize The Detroit News Guild with a contract since acquiring us in late January.
The latest round of layoffs is a reminder that we, the workers, shouldn’t shoulder all the burden when USA Today has a bad quarter.

My family is in a worse financial position since @usatoday bought @detroitnews because of increased health insurance costs.
We are back at the bargaining table today. Time for USAT to show they value journalists - not just shareholders - by agreeing to a fair contract.

If you've been following the waves of layoffs over the last few weeks, you know the journalism industry is in rough shape. That's why @DetNewsGuild is negotiating a contract to protect us and the work that we do (even when our parent company @USATODAYCo has a bad quarter).

"You do my dad's legacy, the legacy of all these victims, no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate."
The son of a 9/11 victim who was killed in the attacks called out hate during the Manhattan ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

I don’t know you personally, but as someone who worked for McClatchy at the News and Observer in Raleigh, I don’t think people realize how bad this is. What’s happened to local news is devastating.
When local coverage is gutted, you’re losing people who intimately know your community. The local perspective is lost and the narrative of the community becomes shaped by outsiders who don’t understand the people there or completely ignored altogether.

In 2025, Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall was criticizing the state's largest universities and seeking major funding cuts for them.
Meanwhile, he was also repeatedly getting access to MSU sporting events through MSU's government relations team. detroitnews.com/story/news/p…

On Flock cameras from @JocelynBenson:
"As Governor, I’ll stand up to anyone who tries to take away your privacy. I’ll work with the legislature to pass clear rules for how these cameras are used, who can access the data, when it can be shared, and when it must be deleted."

Just to be clear: The auditor general report itself says the number used in the headline shouldn't be interpreted this way.

The White House website that Trump referenced prominently features information about fraudulent voter registrations submitted in Muskegon, Michigan, in 2020.
A lot has been written about this situation over the years.
