Carrying out Phase 2 of its months-long rollout of the extended Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) programs, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment reopened its filing system Saturday to people who had used all of their federal benefits before Congress funded them for an additional 11 weeks.

Between Saturday morning and midday Tuesday, 135,000 people were able to open or reopen PUA and PEUC claims and the state processed more than $254 million in payments to those people, labor department officials said.

Intercept editor-in-chief Betsy Reed said Greenwald was making himself out to be a “victim, rather than a grown person throwing a tantrum,” she wrote in a scathing public statement.

In an open letter, Poitras wrote the company fired after … [Read more...] about Why Did First Look Let Go of Laura Poitras?
