Months after telling staff that the E&E News brand was not going away, POLITICO is shuttering six publications. A statement from PEN Guild's leadership: This is unacceptable.

On January 29, as we were discussing buyouts for the energy and environment teams, Joe Schatz told PEN Guild union leaders “The brands and the publications are not going away. We are looking to sharpen their missions.” Today, he told us that E&E News as we know it is gone. Energywire, Climatewire, Greenwire, E&E News PM, E&E News Daily, PowerSwitch--six publications are being killed this summer. This is information that management should have had, and should have told us, while our colleagues were making the decision about taking a buyout earlier this year. PEN Guild’s Labor Management Committee has questioned POLITICO monthly since January--including Jonathan Greenberger himself--about the vision for the newly combined energy and environment teams. At no point was sunsetting the E&E News publications ever mentioned--not even at our most recent meeting on Thursday, June 4. And yet somehow Semafor had the exclusive at 9:17 a.m. today. This is the second time management has lied to employees in six months--the first being when John Harris said in December there would be no layoffs at the company, only to lay off some managers a month later. Management says that none of us should be shocked, that change is part of the news business, that they did not lie and that they only finalized this new plan last week. And yet the question remains why such ground-shattering, publication-killing plans were not part of the “new vision” management announced in January? Why were our subscribers only surveyed in May? This is not leadership. This is unacceptable.Bild

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

Last week, an aerial survey team spotted endangered blue whales two days in a row in the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument This is the same area the trump admin is now slashing protections for “Seeing blue #whales outside of their Canadian feeding grounds is rare," they said

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...

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.
