FILE PHOTO: Democratic presidential candidates Biden and Warren pose together in Westerville Reuters Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to be a part of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's cabinet as Treasury secretary if he wins the election, Politico reported Thursday. Three Democratic officials who are close with Warren's inner circle told Politico that the Massachusetts senator wants to ask Biden for a position in his administration. "A fourth Democratic source who spoke with former Warren staffers said if Warren does not get the Treasury spot, she would likely want to stay in the Senate and push for a seat on the chamber's influential Finance Committee, which oversees the agency," according to the Politico report. Warren threw her support behind Biden after ending her own presidential campaign earlier this year. If Biden were to tap Warren as Treasury secretary, the progressive lawmaker would be tasked with handling with the economic fallout of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. "It's five days out, we're focused on the election and encourage everyone else to be as well," Kristen Orthman, a spokesperson for Warren, told Politico. Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants labor union who was not familiar with Warren's plans, told Politico that Warren would "be the person to meet the moment." "She understands all the failed strategies in the past in terms of how to rebuild the economy and how to shore up average Americans," Nelson told Politico.

    Denver Post, Tuesday - 04/16/2024 - 02:19 PM

    Meow Wolf, the arts and entertainment company that opened a Denver outpost in 2021, will lay off 165 employees company-wide, according to an internal memo, even as it moves forward with plans to launch a new location in Texas. In a note to staff sent Monday, Meow Wolf CEO Jose Tolosa said the cuts will include 111 employees across the company’s exhibitions and corporate team, as well as 54 bargaining unit positions at Las Vegas’s Omega Mart. Officials at Meow Wolf didn’t immediately respond to questions about the number of Denver employees who will be affected, but said in the statement that the actions will cut expenses by 10%. The company, based in Santa Fe, has scaled up rapidly in recent years as it expanded its surreal, interactive sculptures and installations to multiple locations in Las Vegas, Denver and other planned markets. Meow Wolf officials are actively negotiating with the employee union as there is no collective bargaining agreement in place, Tolosa wrote in the memo.
