I'm pleased to announce that my new book, "The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy," is now available for pre-order, in advance of publication in Feb 2025. Kind of timely, I'm thinking.

The way California counts votes (especially how long it takes) is a disgrace and, fairly or not, breeds suspicion about the entire electoral process.

The racism of Mark Fuhrman, and the history of the LAPD, allowed OJ Simpson to claim that he was framed. (He wasn’t.)

So great to see an actual big newsstand full of newspapers and magazines. (Too bad I had to go to Madrid to find one.)

When and if James Comey goes to trial, his lawyer should call a local waiter as an expert witness. “86 the French toast” is not incitement to murder.

Trump had lots of good reasons to fire Bondi. He picked the one bad one. My take in @nytimes

Always risky to predict Supreme Court decisions based on oral argument (I have the t-shirt), but the birthright citizenship argument is going poorly for the Trump Administration.

Not only is my friend @JeffreyToobin a great legal analyst, but he's also a self-described “obsessive” golfer. And he writes about Golf. He has some thoughts on Tiger Woods’ serious legal problems.

NEW and BREAKING:
In a major reversal, the Trump admin is NOW trying to walk back its decision to walk away from defending the law firm executive orders in court.
DOJ just notified the four fighting law firms that it now intends to continue defending the legality of the orders in court.
A day ago, DOJ had a very different position.

Sorry to see this. Big fan of your work.
Some personal news: I’m among today’s @washingtonpost layoffs. It was a dream 11-year run as an investigative reporter focused on sports—making billionaires tremble (or at least mildly annoying them and their lawyers.)
A few highlights from the ride: 🧵
