WIRED is doing some of the most impactful political reporting of this administration. That’s made possible by our subscribers, who signal to our employer, Conde Nast, that this work is worth protecting. Conde has never told us what to report and has stood behind our work, but it is also true that how a company treats its workers is political. The Conde Union has been working tirelessly to bring that same spirit of accountability to all of Conde Nast and must continue to do so. —WIRED’s Conde Union Members

A statement from Wired's Conde Union Members

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions.

Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

This is a really hard day and I want to just add as WIRED's politics editor -- WIRED's politics reporting isn't going anywhere. We are very much here and won't stop.

Please continue to read and support us - canceling your subscription to WIRED is not standing in solidarity with our journalists.

The Haunting Story of Two People—and Their Bots—on Therapy’s New Frontier As millions confide in ChatGPT about their most intimate problems, these relationships are even stranger, more moving, and more insidious than we've imagined.

Nothing I've read about AI has gotten at the deep, wonder-filled, and unsettling truth of this moment quite like this new WIRED longread by Alex Mar. Seriously, if this was a movie it would win the Oscar. It’s that good—and it was a highlight of my career to work on it.

State Department Agents Are Now Working with ICE on Immigration The State Department’s law enforcement arm is now involved in immigration enforcement, an area solidly outside its usual duties. One source compares it to IRS agents investigating espionage at NASA.

New from me! Emails shared with WIRED reveal that the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service is participating in immigration enforcement, something they've never done before, at least not like this.

The Baby Died. Whose Fault Is It? When her son died in utero, a venture capitalist went to extremes to punish her surrogate.

It's not often that I finish a feature story and then ... scroll right back to the top to start reading it again. We've been buzzing about this one on staff for weeks, and there's a lot more coming that we're very excited about. (Subscribe to WIRED, everyone!)

'They're Not Breathing': Inside the Chaos of ICE Detention Center 911 Calls Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowdin...

NEW: A @wired.com investigation into 911 calls from ICE detention centers shows a system inundated by medical crises, delayed treatment, and overcrowding.

This is the human cost of ICE's soaring arrest rates. It is disturbing reading. And it is going to get worse.

Get in—We’re Chasing a Waymo Into the Future Tailing a robotaxi for hours and hours is weird. And revelatory. And jealousy-inducing. But a driverless world is coming for all of us. So shut the door and buckle up.

What's the best way to report out the *definitive* story of our autonomous robotaxi future?

A daylong car chase through the streets of San Francisco, OBVIOUSLY.
