Daily Edition:
Boss No More
Good morning!
Ever had a boss who made you question your whole career path or wondered if you should throw management out the window? You’re not alone.
Companies quietly ditch middle managers, creating workplaces where everyone's their boss (for better or worse). At the same time, a groundbreaking new at-home cervical cancer test means women can finally get rid of the dreaded speculum. Plus, we're covering the explosive first day of Diddy's trial, where shocking revelations have the internet reeling.
Speaking of news everyone’s buzzing about today, remember—you first heard it yesterday. Let's dive into today's stories to keep you impressively ahead of the curve (just kidding, there's never enough flexing).

Work
The Great Unbossing
Being the boss might have lost its shine. Companies like Meta, Salesforce, and Citigroup are quietly cutting layers of middle management—a trend now dubbed "unbossing." CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg argue that fewer managerial roles mean less bureaucracy, more innovation, and more empowered employees.
 But while cutting management might boost productivity and flexibility, it could also hurt career growth, especially for women. In contrast, Gen Z workers seem more than happy to avoid the manager's chair, putting their well-being first. The big question now: will unbossing bring happier, more efficient workplaces, or are we shattering career ladders faster than we can rebuild them?

Specu-Later!
I've got good news for women everywhere: The FDA has approved the first-ever at-home cervical cancer screening devices. Teal Health's new "Teal Wand" allows women to gather their samples privately and conveniently—no awkward stirrups, uncomfortable metal speculums, or in-person appointments.
 Users mail their samples to a lab, where they're tested for HPV, which causes almost all cervical cancers. Studies have shown that at-home tests are just as accurate as traditional tests. It's not only a leap forward in comfort, but also in accessibility and equity for women, since around 25% of women in the U.S. don't get cervical cancer screenings.
In Context: Trump signed an executive order to slash drug prices by 50%.

Empire of Abuse
We thought celebrity scandals had peaked, but the first day of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial raised the bar and lowered our jaws—again. The prosecutors painted a disturbing picture of Combs as a drug-fueled freak, coercing partners with threats. A shocking video showed Combs attacking Cassie Ventura.
 His defense team acknowledged troubling episodes of domestic violence, but the trial was framed as a story about personal failings rather than criminal activity. Vivid details of violence and manipulation have already frightened jurors—and even Diddy's family members briefly left the courtroom—so this drama is just getting started.
