Ryan Grim
Ryan W. Grim (born March 23, 1978) is an American author and journalist. Grim was Washington, D.C., bureau chief for HuffPost and formerly the Washington, D.C., bureau chief for The Intercept. In July 2024, Grim and The Intercept's co-founder Jeremy Scahill left The Intercept to co-found Drop Site News. He is an author and has published some of his books through Strong Arm Press, an independent progressive publishing house he cofounded.
Grim is a current contributor at The American Prospect, an independent online and magazine publication focused on liberal policy analysis. He and conservative journalist Emily Jashinsky were the regular Friday hosts of Rising before they resigned in September 2022 and joined Breaking Points, where they hosted the now defunct show Counterpoints and frequently appear on episodes as hosts.
Grim was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from St. Mary's College of Maryland, and Master of Public Policy from the University of Maryland, College Park.
After earning his master's degree, Grim worked as a legislative analyst for the Marijuana Policy Project. Grim has written about the history of drug use and drug culture in the United States. He has presented his research on why drugs are popular at certain times in history and his thoughts on the government's war on drugs. He also worked as a stockbroker in New York City from 2000 to 2001.
Grim joined HuffPost (then The Huffington Post) in January 2009. In his role heading a team at HuffPost, reporters on the team twice made finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Towards the end of his tenure at HuffPost, significant leadership changes were occurring, sparked by Arianna Huffington's exit.
In 2016, Grim published a blog post in which he questioned FiveThirtyEight's models and predictions for the 2016 United States presidential election. FiveThirtyEight had predicted that Trump had a greater chance of winning the election than that predicted by other analysts. FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver responded to Grim's criticisms. After Trump won the election, Grim apologized, tweeting "You were right that there was far more uncertainty than we were accounting for. I apologize. Gonna stick to punditry".
Grim left his position at HuffPost in 2017 after nine years with the paper, joining The Intercept to head its Washington, D.C. bureau.
During the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination, Grim was the first to report that California senator Dianne Feinstein had received a letter related to Kavanaugh, later revealed to be from Christine Blasey Ford, alleging that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted its author in high school. Grim also reported on former Trump aide Rob Porter's abuse allegations by his ex-wives. He reported early on the 2018 campaign of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
