He Was a Supreme Court Lawyer. Then His Double Life Caught Up With Him.

Pleased to share my new @nytimes magazine story about Tom Goldstein, the superstar Supreme Court advocate whose life has been upended by his ultra high stakes gambling on poker. Check it out.

I'd believe the death notices for MAGA if they weren't all announced by Democrats who want the demise actually to occur. Wishcasting is unpersuasive.

I keep wondering about this question: if Kamala Harris had won last year, what would have been her top policy agenda? What would she have pushed Congress to do? What’s the first thing a Democratic president would do in 2029? What am I missing?

I wonder if there is a spike in searches for narcissistic personality disorder?

The Long Shadow of Bush v. Gore There’s a clear line from the “Brooks Brothers riot” during the 2000 recount to the January 6 insurrection. Jeffrey Toobin looks back on the court case's 25th anniversary.

It's the 25th anniversary of Bush v. Gore -- and there's a line from the Brooks Brothers riot to Jan 6.

Decades from now, when people recall the Trump presidency, I hope they will think about the time he threatened Democratic lawmakers with execution for urging compliance with the laws of war.

When they're right, they're right. The filibuster is a terrible, anti-democratic (and usually anti-Democratic) institution, and it should be abolished.

The House Oversight report is wildly overstated. The pardons can’t be overturned, and no one in the White House committed a crime. But the picture of the Biden White House is not an attractive one, as I discussed with Anderson Cooper on CNN.
