We’re thrilled to welcome Jeremy Singer-Vine as our new data editor. nytco.com/press/jeremy-s…



Our reporting on Eric Schmidt’s stealth drone project was posted this AM by @perplexity_ai . It rips off most of our reporting. It cites us, and a few that reblogged us, as sources in the most easily ignored way possible. Note the views. #zeroclick forbes.com/sites/saraheme…




I was among those laid off from the @WSJ along with @ailworth, @cmaiduc, @acaldwellwsj, @ShannonNajma, @bkesling, @SuryatapaB, and @TalalNAnsari. Grateful for those who trusted me with their stories and for my amazing colleagues. Not sure what’s next, but I'm excited to find out.



Happy retirement to @markseibel, a brilliant, exacting editor whose chaotic energy matched my own and never thought twice about launching me (young, inexperienced & female) into a wild national security beat. Wish all reporters were as lucky!Now let’s bully him to write a memoir
