Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Jake is a resourceful political reporter with deep access to the White House; he goes out of his way to befriend everyone in the newsroom; and he is tireless at promoting our work on TV. WIRED will carry on politics reporting with his legacy, but he deserves a better employer and platform.

WIRED is focused on reporting the forces shaping the most terrifying administration in a generation already plagued by terror wars, financial ruin, and a global pandemic. The best way to help us keep doing that today is to stay reading. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

This is a really hard day and I want to just add as WIRED's politics editor -- WIRED's politics reporting isn't going anywhere. We are very much here and won't stop. Please continue to read and support us - canceling your subscription to WIRED is not standing in solidarity with our journalists.

I was one of the four people who got canned. In the interim, you can subscribe to my newsletter, Straight From The Hut. No paywall, but feel free to choose the pay to support model. I'm not going anywhere — the show goes on, and I'll be back on MSNBC Saturday night. straightfromthehut.substack.com

🎇New package alert @wired.com! This one has been in the works for months. If WIRED was going to tackle AI -- something we cover daily -- we had to go big. So here are 17 different stories about the way AI is changing us, even as the technology itself keeps moving www.wired.com/ai-issue/

This might be the most slacked-about story so far: a profile of @edzitron.com, who has become the pre-eminent AI skeptic. @tcraggs22.bsky.social takes on what this specific role entails www.wired.com/story/ai-pr-...

A @wired.com AI package needs to clear an impossibly high bar. And by god, I think we've done it. Hours of sensational, thought-provoking, fun reading, and the design is simply dazzling. WIRED can't predict the future, but we can try to make sense of it. And that's exactly what we're doing here:

New deep dive into the world of feuding Luigi Mangione supporters. Some are using alleged crime to push health care reform; others find that offensive, as they believe he's completely innocent. And most of them hate the media's fixation on the "thirsters": www.wired.com/story/inside...

Taking a brief break from sporadically posting photos of my pitbull to shout this into the void: I’ve spent the last seven months thinking about the Antichrist, and now those thoughts are published over at @wired.com. www.wired.com/story/the-re...

Why are we taking our latest politics cover to the streets? We wanted you to see what we saw, over many months of covering DOGE, ICE, and the rest of it. Tech leaders got what they wanted—a seat at the table with a would-be king, and a chance to haggle over the rules that govern their businesses.

You may know the software company Palantir as a contractor for ICE + the military. But in recent months, it's relaunched its merch store & said it wants to be a "lifestyle brand." What does it mean for Palantir to be a lifestyle brand...? I unpacked it here: www.wired.com/story/palant...

Is Elon's Mars talk overblown? Total B.S.? Maybe even a deliberate distraction? That's what one Musk admirer — and well-regarded space analyst — told me for my new feature for @wired.com. Let me explain. (1/x) www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

In 2025, WIRED reporters have navigated destructive chaos at DOGE, AI run amok, and explosive levels of conspiracy theories. Threaded below are stories from this year that I've had the privilege to assist on. They're just a taste of what you get with a premium subscription to WIRED
