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

BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.

Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.

Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.

This is unbelievable.

I’m down for Al Sharpton’s boycott on Friday.

If we want to be effective, we need to stop giving these people our money.

Important to stop phrasing & headlining things as "Trump does XXX" (e.g. "Trump fires all USPS heads and integrates it under Commerce"); we can simply say he is purporting to do XXX, or claiming the power to do XXX.

Mere fact of a president saying he did something doesn't will it into existence.
