In just the past month there have been about 50,000 job cuts across the technology sector. Large and small tech companies went on a hiring spree over the past several years due to a surge in demand for their products, software and services with millions of people working remotely. However, even with all of the layoffs announced in recent weeks, most tech companies are vastly larger than they were three years ago. Here’s a look at some of the companies that have announced layoffs so far.

Three active-duty Marines have been charged in the riot at the U.S. Capitol. Court records show that Micah Coomer, Joshua Abate and Dodge Dale Hellonen were arrested this week on misdemeanor charges after fellow Marines helped investigators identify them in footage among the pro-Trump mob on Jan. 6, 2021. No defense lawyers for the men were listed in the court docket, so it was not immediately clear whether they have attorneys to comment on their behalf. A Marine Corps spokesman said it is aware the allegations and “is fully cooperating with appropriate authorities.” Dozens of people charged in the riot have military backgrounds, but these three are among only a handful on active duty.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A half century after Roe v. Wade, March for Life supporters are celebrating the dismantling of that constitutional right to abortion and heralding the political struggle set loose by the Supreme Court’s decision. Meantime President Joe Biden has pledged to do all in his power to restore that right. The first March for Life since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June came with a new focus. Instead of concentrating their attention on the court, the marchers vowed to push for action from the building directly across the street: the U.S. Capitol.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Look who’s in line for coveted House committee assignments. The most far-right House Republicans and early opponents of Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Even embattled new Rep. George Santos. Some are set to serve on the high-profile committee investigating President Joe Biden’s administration. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar of Arizona will get to serve on committees now that Republicans have dislodged Democrats from the majority. When Democrats were in charge, both lawmakers were booted from their assignments for being too extreme. Santos, who has acknowledged lying to New York voters about his past, has picked up two committee assignments.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A $3 million settlement will establish a fund for former students as part of a lawsuit alleging abuse and deprivation of education at a now-shuttered Pennsylvania juvenile justice facility. Lawyers announced the settlement Wednesday with the Chester County Intermediate Unit. Former Glen Mills Schools could receive both cash payments for those who experienced or witnessed abuse and money to pay for or reimburse educational expenses from the fund. Lawyers say 1,600 students who meet certain age limitations are eligible to file for the fund. The distribution of the awards is slated to begin next year.
