For weeks, I’ve been speaking to Autumn Hill, an activist currently serving 50 years in prison because she was at a protest where someone shot a cop. Her story, I think, is a portrait of the America Donald Trump wants — where dissent disappears for good. rollingstone.com/politics/po…

Dems in disarray? James Talarico sees an opportunity. “In my faith tradition, the wilderness is where new ideas and new leaders and new movements come forth. It's a time for experimentation and self-reflection,” he tells @NikkiMcR rollingstone.com/politics/po…

Ken Paxton is “kind of like Trump without the charisma, or the sense of humor, or the star power.” My dispatch from the Texas Senate trail on how James Talarico is trying to force Ken Paxton out of Trump’s skirts, and make him campaign as himself. rollingstone.com/politics/po…

"I mean one of the norms that the FBI exists under is a duty of candor, especially when you testify. And so both doors led to hell, but you couldn’t choose the concealed door." Great convo between James Comey and @mattbai: rollingstone.com/politics/po…

I spent six hours at Delaney Hall this weekend, watching ICE and state law enforcement take turns brutally suppressing protests with gas and fists. Inside, hundreds of detainees continue to suffer -- the latest casualties in Trump's immigration war. rollingstone.com/politics/po…

I wrote this one...@RollingStone "Spencer Pratt is a quintessential American. His entire life has been fueled by an unfathomable level of self-confidence, despite a data set that suggests he may not be good at anything." rollingstone.com/politics/po…

Scoop: In 2019, Trump's latest surgeon general nominee @NBSaphierMD tried to trademark the #MAHA slogan, but told me in an exclusive interview last year: "Do I think [MAHA] is the end-all be-all and going to save the healthcare system? No I don't." rollingstone.com/politics/po…

speaking as a narcissist who loves to inflate my own stories of danger and heroism, a lot of people at the WHCD have forgotten what their actual job is rollingstone.com/politics/po…

professional news: after six years of freelancing, today is my first day as a full-time senior writer at rolling stone. my beat is the same: politics, culture, guns, sports & bits of the world people usually don’t see. so stoked to write more for the best magazine in the game.

🎥 President Trump: “I wasn’t worried. I understand life. We live in a crazy world… I also saw a lot of very strong, physically strong, really attractive law enforcement people come through those doors. And frankly, it made me feel very safe.”
