They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Thousands of US Department of Agriculture employees, including food inspectors and disease-sniffing dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving food to rot in ports and pests to proliferate.

A letter from two House Democrats presses Rubio for details about who approved an effort to try to use hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money on armored electric vehicles from Tesla.

BREAKING: Homeland Security is ending a collective bargaining agreement with tens of thousands of TSA employees, marking a major attack on worker rights.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump ordered a pause to all military aid to Ukraine.

NEW: Trump plans to sign an executive order to overtake the USPS by dissolving its leadership and placing it under his administration. This move would grant them immense power over mail-in ballots, a key target in Republican election fraud rhetoric.

An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Trump's firing of Hampton Dellinger, the head of a key federal whistleblower agency, was illegal. The judge has ordered the Trump administration to recognize Dellinger as the head of the Office of Special Counsel.

Formerly anti-vax parents on how they changed their minds: ‘I really made a mistake’

On Tuesday, 21 DOGE employees resigned. NPR spoke to one of them who says she felt the new administration was causing "harm to the American people."

The consumer protection agency also dropped cases against four other companies including Rocket Homes.

TODAY: A hearing will be held in a lawsuit from USAID employees against Elon Musk and DOGE for unlawfully using extreme power to dismantle agencies and access sensitive information, calling it a “government takeover.”

It's the Musk Effect. Someone who sounds like a genius until he starts talking about something you're knowledgeable about, and you realize he's saying the dumbest shit ever.

What Donald Trump is allowing Elon Musk and his DOGE team to do is not an audit. It is a coup. This an incredibly dangerous moment—and it is all the more dangerous if people don’t understand what is happening. https://youtu.be/jrE0DOEcbRE

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

This is so seriously messed up

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Tiktok is removing negative comments about Trump. Kind of sad that I'll need to delete another app I've enjoyed.

When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.

Tiktok is unwatchable now. Every other video is pro Trump. It is fucking disgusting.

America 2025: Germany 1933 Redux

The TikTok EO orders the Attorney General "to issue a letter to each provider stating that there has been no violation of the statute and that there is no liability for any conduct that occurred" in the 75-day window. Anyone worthy of being AG would resign before carrying out such a lawless order.
