WIRED seeks an experienced journalist to cover national politics, particularly the Trump administration’s efforts to remake the federal government and how other power centers—Congress, tech oligarchs, and more—are responding.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for breaking news consistently. We’re less interested in horse race drama than we are in the people making consequential decisions, whether in the White House, among local and national Democrats, or Silicon Valley, and the logic guiding their actions. To succeed in this role, you should be deeply sourced at both the top and working levels of government and politics and intimately familiar with the operational mechanics of the federal government; you will ideally also have good sourcing in and understanding of the tech industry.
You should have a proven ability to deliver scoops, exclusives, and stories that can’t be found anywhere else. We’re interested in hard news and the ability to put new information into a broader context. A large part of this role is writing a politics-focused newsletter every week; the ideal candidate will understand how to leverage their reporting to attract and retain subscribers, engage audiences, and drive reader loyalty in a competitive news landscape.
In addition to breaking news and regular newsletter sends, there are opportunities to work on long-form feature stories and collaborate with reporters across our coverage areas as part of this role as well. You should also be prepared to engage in a wide range of storytelling formats, such as social, podcasts, video series, and live events.
This senior writer will report to WIRED’s Director, Politics, Science, and Security, and will be part of a growing and increasingly global newsroom of smart, kind, collaborative, and well-informed colleagues who are always brimming with ideas and eager to help each other out. This role is in-office (4 days/week) and will be based in our New York or Washington, DC offices.
WIRED is hiring for a senior politics reporter who will write our weekly newsletter; detailed job description below. This role will be based in New York or DC and report to me; the salary range is $95,000 - $132,000. condenast.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CondeC...

When they say Trump calling a reporter "piggy" is "just being honest," they are revealing a key feature of the reactionary mind: it believes, at a deep brainstem level, that *everyone* is awful & selfish & ugly on the inside. Everyone just suppresses it out of fear of social disapproval. Not Trump!

Now listen to me here. I do not care who it is. I do not care how scary it might seem. If a man – any man – points in a woman's face and says "Quiet piggy" you say something about it. It does not matter if it is the president flailing around with the kind of sudden burst of anger common amongst dementia patients receiving end of life care. You stand up and you say "What the fuck did you just say?"

A closeup of Trump reading his speech. He looks wasted, lost, just done. He resembles an Oompa Loompa but also a game show host, with a stiff puff of hair shadowing his brow and a vacuous, far away gaze. His mouth slack, his wattle verging on pornography, his mind preoccupied with today's crushing, self-inflicted, possibly politically fatal turn of fate.

Screengrab of clause 2(b) of the Epstein Files Transparency Act:
(b) PROHIBITED GROUNDS FOR WITHHOLDING.—In carrying out subsection (a), the Attorney General may not withhold from publication, delay the publication of, or redact any record, document, communication, or investigative material on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, publie figure, or foreign dignitary.
Very important for people to read this portion of the Epstein Files Transparency Act so you understand 1) why Mike Johnson was so upset today, and 2) what is NOT permitted to be redacted by the DOJ.

Quite a stunning moment in the Oval Office as President Trump asserts that MBS knew nothing about Jamal Khashoggi's murder despite how the
CIA — under Trump, in his first term — found that the crown prince ordered it.
