"Kabas broke the news that Trump's second administration ordered staff at the National Institutes of Health to stop travelling.[4] Days later, she broke the news that it was also was freezing federal grants, first posting on Bluesky about it.[2] Her scoops increased the amount of paid subscribers from 800 to 1,900.[5] The memo on federal grants was reversed two days after Kabas posted about it.[2] The Associated Press called it "a key moment for a growing cadre of journalists who work independently to gather and analyze news and market themselves as brands."[9]"

With that said, her article is for the NYT and unfortunately I cannot access it.
Her take seems wholly biased and contradicts the little bit of the article I have seen (which she even posted herself under the original post).
Maybe the increase in her profile is influencing her biases?
