I wrote about Washington’s new $10 million think tank for dumping on the left — and wonder if they’re going to listen to their own polls www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A new think tank plans to use a “Shark Tank-style policy generation process” and polling to further marginalize the left and ensure Democrats are guided by what it’s calling “Supermajority Thinking.” Will it listen to its own polls? Commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The past week really mattered in a way that I’m not sure has been totally processed yet

Donald Trump and his administration used Charlie Kirk’s murder as an excuse to ramp up their ongoing campaign for total power, in their most authoritarian week yet. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NewsNation is owned by Nexstar, which notably pulled Kimmel’s show first, before ABC. Another business decision!

Kimmel never said this: "Jimmy Kimmel claims Charlie Kirk shooter is ‘MAGA’ " but the facts did. not. matter. The MAGA swarm came for Kimmel and Disney news caved. Good reality check from @swin24.bsky.social & @andrewperez.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

dumbest fascism possible www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Conservative media and Trump’s FCC chair have claimed Jimmy Kimmel said Charlie Kirk’s shooter is MAGA. But Kimmel didn't actually say that. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

As we’ve reported before at @rollingstone.com, trump and his gang plotted to use the federal government against his enemies in late night tv even before he was reelected. Now…. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

If DHS can violently attack journalists and citizen observers without any consequences, none of us are safe anywhere in the country. #protest #LAProtests #PressFreedom #ProtectJournalists

Lisa’s an outstanding editor and colleague and you should hire her immediately

When Miller worked as an aide for Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, he was so widely disliked by his colleagues that Republican staff in other offices would spread malicious rumors about him, such as that he liked to play with porcelain dolls. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Watched a bizarre segment on CNN last week where they gave Kyrsten Sinema a blank slate to talk about the issues of importance to her clients www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

On the real, these are amazing gets for @mehdirhasan.bsky.social. @swin24.bsky.social tackles the Trump beat better than just about anyone. @andrewperez.bsky.social is a goddamn sicko on the money-in-politics beat. They've done incredible work at RS. I'm expecting more at @zeteo.com.

RFK Jr., Trump’s health secretary, claimed in a Senate hearing Thursday that mRNA vaccines kill people, adding that he didn’t know how many Americans died from Covid-19 or whether Covid vaccines saved any lives at all. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

BREAKING: Trump’s team has reportedly advised Republican lawmakers to describe his “Big Beautiful Bill,” which slashes taxes for the wealthy and health care for the poor, as a “working families tax plan." Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I got to interview Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner in Portland yesterday. Two good talks. Give it a read! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

According to an administration official and another source briefed on the matter, Trump was absolutely aware of the online rumors that he was dead or dying latest w/ @swin24.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“We do not live in a system that is broken — we live in a system that is functioning exactly as it’s intended,” Platner said in his speech Monday. “We live in a system that has been built by the political class to enrich and support billionaires on the backs of working people.”

Simply put, [Graham Platner] is not the type of candidate that Democrats typically run in competitive Senate races. Read more from @andrewperez.bsky.social: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Bernie Sanders tells Rolling Stone he’s backing Graham Platner, Maine’s oysterman Senate candidate, to “send a message.” The message: “Ordinary people can step up, you can take on the powers that be. You can win.” Dispatch from @andrewperez.bsky.social: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Donald Trump quieted baseless rumors he died by complaining about "stupid" White House contractors. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Also… please don’t miss the intro website Trump Tower New Orleans had. It featured Trump, Don Jr. and Ivanka in masquerade masks. Just in case you need a pick-me up today for whatever reason.

Dem messaging nerds: Messages about Donald Trump’s “rising authoritarianism” are “unconvincing” Trump: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Donald Trump is waging a fascist takeover of the United States. Democrats are responding the only way they know how: by heeding the advice of the wonks who helped get them into this situation — and whose advice is to avoid discussing what Trump is doing. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Democrats’ favorite research firm told them to avoid discussing Trump’s “rising authoritarianism” and focus on tariffs instead. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

to wit: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We wrote about Democrats’ favorite messaging nerds advising the party not to talk about Trump’s military takeover in D.C., and instead pivot to tariffs www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The news from the past few days is a stunning example of what happens when the state decides it wants to crush just one guy

Trump plans to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda now that he was allowed to return home. “We are not going to stop coming after him,” a senior Trump administration official tells Rolling Stone. “He isn’t getting away.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Inside Putin’s fossil-fueled victory lap over Trump in Alaska: No sanctions, no cease-fire, no security guarantee, but plenty of fossil fuel deals brew after Trump’s cringeworthy Putin-appeasement on Ukraine www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The Coast Guard works for ICE now. Coast Guard planes previously used for search and rescue have done hundreds of secret ICE flights in recent weeks, including two I watched from a public parking lot near BWI. My exclusive for Rolling Stone: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump unleashes show and awe on Washington — creating his own Potemkin police state in the nation’s capital. It’s not going well
