I've been writing about Roger Stone for a long, long time. Taking today's news as a moment to look back at some of those pieces. This one was one of my first stories about him back at Newsweek: newsweek.com/roger-stone-do…
There was this one, where he told me he believed "establishent a**holes" were responsible for damaging leaks about the Trump Administration: mic.com/articles/16858…
And in this piece, Roger Stone directly contradicted the president about when they'd last been in touch: mic.com/articles/17690…
"A federal prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. They can make anything look as they wish. That doesn't mean it's accurate," Roger Stone once told me... newsweek.com/donald-trump-p…
And if you think the Roger Stone - Randy Credico thing is new, trust me, it's not. I wrote about them getting into it way back during the 2013 election cycle, for example: nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypol…
There are more, but this one comes to mind: I asked Roger Stone for a column I wrote back in (wow) 2011 if he had any advice for the then-embattled Anthony Weiner. His rule: "Admit nothing, deny everything and launch counterattacks." Well, we shall see... nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypol…
And btw, Stone's prediction at the time about Weiner's fate: "Yes, he can still save himself - IF there is no final indisputable adjudication of what actually happened."

IF.

This new report on national health expenditures in 2017 is a great occasion to bring back the term “slowth,” which I believe to be a @ddiamond coinage. healthaffairs.org/doi/abs/10.137…?
"Slowth" stands for slow growth. Health spending went up last year, but by a lot less than health spending has grown historically--and by less than the overall economy grew. This is good news.
.@JeffYoung has a great piece on this trend, our recent slowth experience, generally, and why it probably doesn't feel like health care spending is on a good trajectory for a lot of Americans. bit.ly/2G5DunT

one of the problems with talking about demographic trendlines dooming the GOP's national prospects is that it presumes that certain segments of POC communities won't become invested in the same imperatives of whiteness.
(the homie @spamfriedrice has been writing/thinking about this for a long time.)

Today’s #MAGAbomber news was horrifying. The mood is somber, and rightly so: we are 13 days from the election, and a domestic terrorist on the loose is the last thing anyone wants.

But let’s put things in perspective.

[THREAD]
1/ The #MAGAbomber news does not change the fact that McConnell has explicitly stated his aims to gut Social Security and Medicare to pay for yet another tax cut for his rich donors.

2/ The #MAGAbomber news does not change the fact that Jared Kushner and Donald Trump are intimately involved in the cover-up (at the bare minimum) of the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.

Russia and Iran are engaged in disinformation campaigns aimed at US citizens. Twitter just released over 10 million tweets from over 4500 Russian and Iranian accounts engaged in influence operations dating back to 2009. We've analyzed the data. Here's what you need to know...
Russia's influence operations are far-reaching, aimed at a number of countries. This, of course, includes ops aimed at US voters in 2016, but also includes their own people. 58 Russian-language accounts tweeted regional "news" related to Crimea, Syria, and other military action.
44 US-directed local "news" accounts amassed over half a million followers. By using local-sounding news source names, they were able to dupe Americans from *other* regions to share what they thought was authentic news.

Roger Stone & co just trolled their way onto @CNN by claiming that they see Kavanaugh as an ally in the Russia probe. (One said he feels "cool as a cucumber" now that Kav is on the court).

This isn't even good trolling. Don't indulge bottomfeeders like these guys.

Please.
Free advice: If anyone over the age of 10 or under the age of 70 uses the phrase "cool as a cucumber," it's entirely reasonable to stop talking to them. Forever.

I'm not trying to be mean. I spend way too much time on social media & I'm far more familiar with Roger Stone than I ever waned to be, so this is next-level obvious.

...but really. A major news org paid someone to "spend the afternoon digging into this."

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
