Trump's ballroom project, and the rest of his opulent overhaul of D.C., isn't just an affront to good taste — it's deeply un-American, writes @nikkimcr.bsky.social: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you're wondering if Americans are paying attention, they are. If you're wondering if they like what they see in Donald Trump, they Do Not. New polls reveal how vigorously Americans hate Trump’s job performance. by @ryanbort.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s coming.

Trump read a Bible verse last night about asking God for forgiveness. Trump in 2015 on whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness: "I don't think so ... I don't bring God into that picture." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

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” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

JD Vance in 2020: “My growing view is that too many American Catholics have failed to show proper deference to the papacy, treating the pope as a political figure to be criticized or praised according to their whims.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Also Trump: "God Bless the Great People of Iran!" www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

One of the things that is just maddeningly grotesque about the current situations in Cuba and Iran is that Trump imposes mass suffering as a means of ego gratification

"The same country that produces pioneers who carry out 'one giant leap for mankind' produces leaders who want to bomb their fellow man 'back to the Stone Age.'" Read @macwbishop.bsky.social on Artemis II and Trump's war against Iran: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

WOW. I mentioned AND used photos from these early February C-130 flights in my @rollingstone.com story last fall about the Coast Guard using search-and-rescue planes for ICE transfers. Had no idea the misuse of resources I suggested had already happened. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

- @ryanbort.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social and I reported in June that Trump had been asking confidants about putting a statue of himself in the Kennedy Center or naming *parts* of it after himself www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... They’re going even further apparently. Cartoonishly culty

The way Trump is handling these meetings with his top lieutenants “definitely gives off Dear Leader vibes, like what you would see with Kim Jong Un or [Vladimir] Putin." Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It was clear Sliwa would not be delivering his victory speech, and perhaps that’s why there didn’t seem to be even an ounce of anxiety amid the revelry. A dispatch from my night at Curtis Sliwa's election watch party: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

To be fair, he explicitly and publicly campaigned on this and then won www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"Logic isn’t necessarily going to be the weapon, it might need to be love. And then from that, you hope that they find some logic. But just yelling and berating people, done that for eight years." Read @nikkimcr.bsky.social's fantastic Q+A with Roy Wood Jr.: www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

NEW: Deputy Secretary of State Landau has created a meme superhero persona for himself, as he teams up with fringe anonymous X accounts to target foreign visa holders for Charlie Kirk speech. Meet: El Quitavisas. Me @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Please read this heartbreaking story from @timdickinson.bsky.social about a mom and her four kids who were taken by CBP and disappeared, and how a lawmaker and a friend mobilized to track them down www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

My latest for @rollingstone.com digs into Trump's $30 Billion in shutdown cuts targeting Democratic states and cities with painful cuts to public transit, energy, and fundamental civil rights protections. The pain will reverberate throughout the economy. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“Things are not normal. They’re not returning to normal. There is no playbook that we are using from the past that could work in the present, and so we’ve got to stand up." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

MAGA lawmakers regularly share its content. Elon called it "one of the best accounts on X." It's run by a Macedonian who has never set foot in America — and who illegally donated to a U.S. congressional campaign. Great stuff from @jsweetli.bsky.social: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

In the next issue of Rolling Stone magazine, @swin24.bsky.social and I go deep on Trump’s war on speech, the left, and any and all dissent. Read it here and come follow our work at @zeteo.com, where we work now! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.

Portland is obviously personal to me. The president's fever dream of a 'War Zone' by the Willamette might be darkly funny, if the stakes for this city -- and the rest of the nation -- were not dead serious:

Trump has set his sights on #Alaska as a test case for his disastrous “National Energy Dominance” agenda. For @rollingstone.com, I went to Alaska and met people organizing to resist Trump’s plans. “No one is throwing up their hands and saying 'he’s won.'” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"He was the movies, in all of their escapist and ennobling glory." Read @davidlfear.bsky.social on Redford: www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Lisa is the best and you should hire her (and Quincy and Lou) immediately

Incredible get for @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @zeteo.com. I cannot express how much I am going to miss working with @swin24.bsky.social and @andrewperez.bsky.social, two of the smartest and most compassionate colleagues I've ever had

My biography of Justin Townes Earle will be released on January 13th, 2026, the week after what would’ve been his 44th birthday. It’s called ‘What Do You Do When You’re Lonesome’ If you’d like to support a debut author, you can pre-order here: www.hbglibrary.com/titles/jonat...

gonna just keep reposting this from @ryanbort.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social and me www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Typically excellent from @swin24.bsky.social and the gang

"President Donald Trump has expanded his military campaign against the United States" It should be noted that @rollingstone.com is as much corporate media as @nytimes.com yet is able to write in plain and clear language about what's happening. No euphemisms. No laundering bad-faith morons & weirdos

Brutal stuff from @swin24.bsky.social on the former children's hospital chaplain whose friends says he's been "tortured" in isolation as the Trump administration tries to deport him www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Concerning! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Tax dollars at work, baby!!!!! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Hoo boy, from me and @swin24.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“They created conditions where there were really no better options. Hundreds of people left the country in the last month.” Great reporting from @nikkimcr.bsky.social on how Trump's BFF in El Salvador has been forcing human rights advocates to flee the nation www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

New from me and @swin24.bsky.social: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“Those two do not like each other,” one of the Trump administration officials adds. “It surprises me that there hasn’t been more reporting on that.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Latest for @rollingstone.com from @ryanbort.bsky.social and me: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Among it's myriad harms Trump's #BigBadBill adds $30 billion for ICE, enough to deploy 10,000 agents + $45 billion for construction and expansion of detention facilities and transportation. @nikkimcr.bsky.social @timdickinson.bsky.social @ryanbort.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
