[Aja Whitaker-Moore @Ajawmoore]

I’ve admired this paper and this newsroom for as long as I can remember. I am honored to join Emma’s leadership team at one of the most exciting moments in @WSJ history. Let’s do this.

[WSJ Communications @WSJPR]

.@WSJ Editor in Chief Emma Tucker announced three key leadership appointments to the Journal newsroom.

Aja Whitaker-Moore (@Ajawmoore) and David Crow (@bydavidcrow) were announced as deputy editors in chief, and Dan Colarusso as coverage chief for Business, Finance and Economics.

Whitaker-Moore joins from Axios, where she was editor in chief overseeing its National, Local and Pro newsrooms.

Crow, who joined the Journal as executive editor in 2023, has played a vital role in managing news, features and storytelling across WSJ platforms.

Colarusso was previously at CNBC as senior vice president of business news and oversaw television news content, coverage and production for CNBC’s Business Day programming.

Congratulations to all!

When a @Polymarket result is disputed, it goes to a decentralized panel of judges.

But the system is rife with conflicts: ~60% of judges were linked to Polymarket accounts, and in nearly 20% of disputes we found judges tied to bets on the very markets they were deciding.

“Rubio repeatedly reached for popular, if dated, rap lyrics. He called the leaders of Iran “insane in the brain,” a reference to a Cypress Hill hip-hop song, and later said Tehran needs to “check themselves before they wreck themselves”

The Wall Street Journal was named a Pulitzer Prize finalist in Public Service for our reporting on the birthday book and the handling of the Epstein files — work that helped trigger the release of more than three million Justice Department documents.

I'm so proud to work alongside the best colleagues and editors in the world, who have supported my reporting on Epstein's network for years. What began last year with @marcelolprince and @joe_palazzolo grew into a newsroom-wide effort.

This past summer was enormously challenging for me and my family. Getting through it was only possible because of the extraordinary support I received from across the newsroom, from our fearless editors, from our legal and security teams, and from the many people who reached out with care and concern.

I'm so proud of this work and the courage displayed by our paper. I'm deeply grateful to our sources, who placed so much trust in us. And most of all, I'm grateful to live in a country with a First Amendment. https://t.co/yiJhs9OqSY

NEW: Inside the meetings + calls where President Trump and his team were given clear indicators that the economy (possible rise in prices) could take a hit if the war in Iran is prolonged.

Treasury Secretary Bessent and the president discussed various measures the Treasury could take if the war went on for eight to 12 week and how the U.S. could be vulnerable to a potential rise in gasoline prices.

Many of these little known conversations came in the buildup to the cease-fire
