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…

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 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…

🎥 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.”

Are Americans are paying attention? Yes they are. Do they like what they see in Donald Trump? No, they do not. More new polls reveal how vigorously Americans hate Trump’s job performance. @ryanbort @RollingStone rollingstone.com/politics/po…

The difference between the Iraq war days when Jon Stewart warned a youngish CNN host that the reckoning was coming, and today is that this time around Tucker Carlson cannot claim ignorance, youth, or inexperience.  My take on Tucker’s “apology” rollingstone.com/politics/po…
