Marisa Kabas runs the politics-focused newsletter The Handbasket. Marisa has been covering the Trump administration’s drastic cuts to the federal government and deportations. 

In this conversation with host Daniel Spielberger, she discusses why she started The Handbasket, what it’s like getting scoops as an independent journalist, and how she navigates the dynamic of legacy media outlets failing to attribute reporting to independent journalists.
