We've rounded up the best early #PrimeDay deals we've found right here—on Amazon and other retailers—and we'll keep this story updated ahead of the main event which will be available on October 12 and 13. Shopping our links helps our journalism. wired.trib.al/3DHKze6
★ The Google Pixel 6A Unlocked Android Smartphone for $349 ($100 off) is our favorite Android phone, and it also earned our top pick as the Best Cheap Phone. This deal is a match of the best discount we’ve seen. 📸: Google #PrimeDay wired.trib.al/IV12BDD Image
★The SteelSeries Prime Wireless Mouse for $70 ($49 off) is our favorite gaming mouse! It's snappy and responsive, and satisfyingly clicky. The wireless range is impressive and reliable, and it moves smoothly on just about any surface. 📸: SteelSeries wired.trib.al/I9llNAT Image
★ This is the lowest price we have ever seen on this Staples FlexFit Hyken Mesh Task Chair for $140 ($60 off). It reclines and has a headrest, and the mesh allows for good airflow. It does the job very well.

The Echo Glow Night-Light for $17 ($13 off) is a good deal. Although it's a bad sunrise alarm, it’s a decent nightlight. It’s meant for kids, though it also works well in a guest room, especially when Alexa speakers double as sound machines. 📸: Amazon wired.trib.al/OSRJhNV Image
★ The Apple iPad Mini 64-GB Tablet for $400 ($100 off) looks like an iPad Pro with slimmer bezels and a smaller, 8.3-inch screen. Its portable size makes it great for traveling. 📸: Apple wired.trib.al/iuHd8PM Image
★ The Fire HD 10 Tablet for $75 ($75 off) is a match of a low price we’ve only seen. The Fire HD 10 is our favorite Amazon tablet. It’s best for light browsing or watching videos, but it's powerful enough to do some very light work tasks. 📸: Amazon wired.trib.al/Iq74qYU Image

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 overcrowding. wired.com/story/ice-dete…
Content warning:

On March 16, a woman identifying herself as a detainee at the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia, called 911. Communication was strained: The dispatcher spoke no Spanish.

"I need help,” the woman said. "I need … ayuda."
wired.com/story/ice-dete…
Since Jan., 10 facilities have collectively placed nearly 400 EMS calls.

- Nearly 50 involved potential cardiac episodes
- 26 referenced seizures
- 17 involved head injuries
- 7 described suicide attempts/self-harm

That's what has been recorded.

NEW: The alleged shooter is a 57-year-old white male; according to his ministry's website, he “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer.”
wired.com/story/shooting…
UPDATE: In a 2023 sermon reviewed by WIRED and delivered by the alleged shooter in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he preached against abortion and called for different Christian churches to become “one.” wired.com/story/shooting…
In another sermon in Matadi that year, Boelter railed against the LGBTQ community. “They're confused,” he said. “The enemy has gotten so far into their mind and their soul.”

SCOOP: Edward Coristine (“Big Balls”), Luke Farritor, and Ethan Shaotran were part of the original DOGE crew. They were brought in under short-term “special government employee” status. Supposed to be temporary. Spoiler: it’s not. wired.com/story/big-ball…
As of May 31 (Coristine & Farritor) and April 10 (Shaotran), the trio officially became full-time federal employees. Their roles at the General Services Administration (GSA) are now permanent.

And they’re not exactly entry-level. wired.com/story/big-ball…
According to documentation viewed by WIRED, they each maintain their “senior advisor” titles.

Their pay? GS-15 for Coristine & Farritor, one of the highest government salary grades. Shaotran’s at GS-14—just one step below. wired.com/story/big-ball…

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE.

In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”
wired.com/story/doge-elo…
Members of Musk’s early DOGE team, including Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger, have met with a number of departments and agencies in recent days, seemingly continuing business as usual, WIRED has learned.

And the team appears to be actively recruiting.
wired.com/story/doge-elo…
Their latest focus? Canceling contracts.

Over the last week, federal workers have been asked to urgently review contracts across the government, and sources say the pressure to slash contracts has drastically increased in recent weeks.

NEW: Tulsi Gabbard, now the US director of national intelligence, used the same easily cracked password for different online accounts including a personal Gmail account and Dropbox over a period of years, leaked records reviewed by WIRED reveal. wired.com/story/tulsi-ga…
The password associated includes the word “shraddha,” which appears to have personal significance to Gabbard: This year, WSJ reported that she had been initiated into the Science of Identity Foundation, which ex-members have accused of being a cult. wired.com/story/tulsi-ga…
Security experts advise people to never use the same password on different accounts precisely because people often do so. As director of national intelligence, Gabbard oversees the 18 organizations comprising the US intelligence community.

DOGE is knitting together data from the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, and IRS that could create a surveillance tool of unprecedented scope. wired.com/story/doge-col…
The scale at which DOGE is seeking to interconnect data, including sensitive biometric data, has never been done before, raising alarms with experts who fear it may lead to disastrous privacy violations.
wired.com/story/doge-col…
“They are trying to amass a huge amount of data,” a senior DHS official tells WIRED. “It has nothing to do with finding fraud or wasteful spending … They are already cross-referencing immigration with SSA and IRS as well as voter data.”
