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.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.
We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

Companies paying Trump to settle seemingly meritless suits looks like backdoor bribery. Is it? On the blog, @ggkrishnamoomoo.bsky.social insightfully analogizes this practice to "reverse settlements" from brand-name pharma companies to makers of generics, which unlawfully circumvent antitrust laws.

By 1980, when his presidency ended, Carter had completely transformed the federal bench, appointing 41 women and 57 racial minorities as federal judges—a 500% increase in the number of women serving on the federal bench and a nearly 200% increase in the number of nonwhite federal judges.

What a damning indictment of how even America’s ostensibly environmentally minded states are approaching the question of transportation electrification and decarbonization. Budgets reflect priorities and there’s so much cost-effective benefit we lose by not appropriately taking e-bikes seriously
Amazing that California has spent literally 3 years planning a $10M e-bike subsidy program, which then sold out in less than an hour.
Meanwhile the state has given drivers, mostly wealthy ones, over $1 billion dollars for electric cars.

Site did not crash but the application closed in under 60 minutes. Really hope that CARB reports the number of people who were online trying in that time.
