CNN — Radio Free Asia is laying off most of its staff and shutting down many of its news broadcasts and streams, amid a funding battle with the Trump administration. Friday’s layoff notices are the latest impacts of President Trump’s crusade against the international broadcasters the United States has bankrolled for decades. Bay Fang, the CEO of Radio Free Asia, said the cuts are necessary because the Trump administration has withheld its congressionally allocated funding, even though a federal judge sided with the broadcaster last week. Other US-funded international broadcasters are stuck in similar situations. The outlets keep winning favorable…
Los Angeles CNN — Edgar Recinos no longer has to choose between paying rent and buying groceries. As a cook at a Wingstop restaurant in Los Angeles, Recinos got a significant wage bump last year — one of half a million fast food workers taking part in a great labor experiment.

The first-of-its-kind policy increased the starting wage for California fast food workers to $20 per hour, which is higher than the overall state minimum wage. It also established…

Rome CNN — An old saying about papal elections goes as follows: “He who enters the conclave as pope, leaves it as a cardinal.” In other words, any candidate seen as the frontrunner before the voting begins should be treated with caution, and no cardinal should go into the Sistine Chapel assuming they will get the votes. At the 2013 conclave, one of the favorites was Cardinal Angelo Scola of Milan. The Italian bishops were so confident that he would be chosen that after the white smoke emerged from the Vatican chimney, a senior Italian church official sent a message…
CNN — More than 100 days into Donald Trump’s presidency, many federal workers have decided to do something that was unthinkable on inauguration day: quit their jobs. As the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency cuts budgets and headcounts across the government, a workforce used to job security is now beset by low morale and deep uncertainty. Among those who’ve been fired or quit are tens of thousands of highly trained experts and specialists, draining the agencies of their knowledge base. Deeper cuts are likely to come.
