On April 6, 2020, Taibbi announced he would no longer publish his online writing through Rolling Stone, and would henceforth independently publish his online writing through the e-mail newsletter service Substack.

In October 2019, Taibbi argued that the whistleblower in the Trump–Ukraine scandal was not a “real whistleblower” because the whistleblower had not had his life shattered or destroyed. Taibbi also characterized the Trump–Ukraine scandal as a “coup” against Trump.

In February 2014, Taibbi joined First Look Media to head a financial and political corruption-focused publication called Racket.

In 2008, Taibbi was awarded the National Magazine Award in the category “Columns and Commentary” for his Rolling Stone columns. He won a Sidney Award in 2009 for his article “The Great American Bubble Machine”.
