EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s White House was ‘awash in speed’ and Xanax
If you ever looked at the actions of the Trump administration and wondered, ‘Are they on drugs?’ — the answer was, in some cases, yes. Absolutely, yes.
New reporting from me and Swin Suebsaeng:
Elon Musk can't stop making things up. From Hyperloop transportation to self-driving cars to Twitter policy, here's a list of the billionaire's biggest hyperbole, evasions, and outright lies

This is outrageous. Israel's government has denied
@RollingStone@mstdn.social a press credential after our critical coverage of Netanyahu and the widening conflict.
EXCLUSIVE: Team Trump was totally caught off-guard by Sidney Powell's plea deal. They never dreamed the MAGA zealot would flip on them.
if you've been around the internet for a while, it's kind of wild to see that the main news vehicles for all the major media outlets are ... liveblogs.
Twitter's hate speech accounts are cynically rebranding themselves as pro-Palestine for clout and cash
I’m thrilled to be returning to @WIRED@press.coop as a contributing editor, starting today. The idea is to help EIC Katie Drummond and her team wrangle big stories and major talent. I’ll be writing myself, too, as I contribute to other outlets.
WIRED was my first freelance home. I was fortunate enough to work there during its last golden age. With the crew of scoop-minded reporters Katie has assembled, I’m convinced we’re on the verge of its next one.
Weeks after a mass murder in Lewiston, Maine left 18 people dead, the CEO of Ruger strongly hinted on an earnings call that the tragedy could be good for sales.
EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION: Inside Trump’s plot to corrupt the 2024 election with “garbage” data.
For more than a decade, states have relied on a system to reduce fraud and boost voter registration. Trump's cronies are sabotaging it — and trying to replace it with something more MAGA.

.@RollingStone@mstdn.social reached out to a half-dozen sources throughout Gaza — at major institutions and in private homes. None of the calls went through.
This is ominous. Communications blackouts are often precursors to major offensives.
In the wake of Jann Wenner's offensive comments, Rolling Stone has taken a hard look at where we’ve been and where we’re going.
I hope you'll take a look.
EXCLUSIVE: Rudy Giuliani is telling his alleged co-conspirator Donald Trump he'll never cooperate with law enforcement... even as Trump makes fun of his misguided, one-way loyalty pledge.

The murder of Cash App founder Bob Lee gripped San Francisco -- and the wider tech community. @RollingStone@mstdn.social has fresh details on the case, in what I believe is the most comprehensive look yet.
I've never seen a company embody @pluralistic@mamot.fr's enshitification theory quite like Slack. Their newest release makes the product borderline unusable.
