WIRED seeks an experienced journalist to cover national politics, particularly the Trump administrationโ€™s efforts to remake the federal government and how other power centersโ€”Congress, tech oligarchs, and moreโ€”are responding.

In this role, youโ€™ll be responsible for breaking news consistently. Weโ€™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 canโ€™t be found anywhere else. Weโ€™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 WIREDโ€™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.

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

This is a man whose wife was SHOT IN THE HEAD having to act even-keeled when the President of the United States tries to incite violence against him. Trump has to go, right now.

COYOTE First Aid Kit: How to Compassionately Respond to an Overdose Naloxone, rescue breathing, and 911: Learn the do's, don'ts, and best practices for reversing an overdose.

Anyone can reverse an overdose, and we should all know how. Naloxone is a social intervention; while our public health systems are woefully inadequate, and the war on drugs continues unchecked, we can empower ourselves and one another to step up.

Please send submissions to hello@coyotemedia.org. Written submissions should be under 250 words, while voice memos can be 1โ€“2 minutes long. If you want to share a photo of yourself with Alice, or a memory in another form, please do. We may edit lightly for clarity as needed. Thank you! (3/3)

Digital portrait by Jen White-Johnson featuring a photo of Alice Wong, an Asian American woman with honey blonde hair. She is in a wheelchair and there is a tracheostomy at her neck connected to a ventilator. She is wearing a silky multicolored shirt and a bold red lip color. She is looking intently at the camera with the heat of a thousand suns. Behind her are red and purple flowers with a red circle in the background framing her face like a warm sun. The background of the portrait is purple.

Given the passing of disability activist and light-in-the-world Alice Wong, we at COYOTE invite people to share what she and her work meant to them. Whether you knew Alice personally, organized with her, or were simply a fan of her writing, we'd love to hear from you. (1/3)

You're a female political journalist. You've worked hard and beat the odds to be here covering the President. You're asking about the most in-the-public-interest political event of your lifetime.

Since time immemorial, when you make a man uncomfortable, he'll call you fat, a bitch, or a fat bitch.

Introducing COYOTE's First Aid Kit A how-to guide to surviving in the Bay Area.

Even when @coyotemedia.org was just a little baby pup of an idea I knew I wanted service journalism to be a major part of it. Today I'm thrilled to introduce our First Aid Kit: an acknowledgement of today's challenges, and a rejection of despair.

When I visited her in SF in 2022, I was prepared to be masked, but we were able to sit outside. She served me cookies. I was nervous & said โ€œI donโ€™t want to eat in front of you when you canโ€™t eat, also I am trying to lose weightโ€ & she typed into her speech machine โ€œEAT THE FUCKING COOKIES!!!!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚
