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.

@edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social notes a specialty part is needed, but the freeze on government credit cards may be hindering its ordering.
