If we want to counter the gouging of consumers in the current Gilded Age, we need robust antitrust enforcement, not these enablers leading DOJ. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I was honored to join Jeff Timmer and Mark Brewer’s podcast to discuss The Fix. www.youtube.com/@A_Republic_...

Now Vance is blaming the “deep state” for Nixon’s shame. The efforts to erase history continue. Orwellian.

Whoa! Well done, Katie!

Made it to Seattle! Please join us for a discussion of my book, The Fix, tonight at Seattle Town Hall. townhallseattle.org/event/barbar...

I suppose it’s better that wisdom comes late than not at all. But we all all could see this coming. apnews.com/article/pent...

Important court decision today striking down Trump’s exective order directing USPS to control voting by mail. Our Constitution gives the president no role in voting. Hands off! www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Good news for Michigan voters.

Judge blocks Trump’s executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Elections are controlled by states and Congress, not the president.

It’s Wednesday. Time for listener questions. You can hear the answers here. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Thanks to everyone who came out to my book talk about The Fix with CalMatters CEO Neil Chase at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. ❤️

The Fix book tour has arrived in Downtown San Francisco!

FBI’s search for evidence of voter fraud is reminiscent of OJ Simpson’s quest to find “the real killer.” Both seem to be shamelessly transparent efforts to advance a false narrative that no one is buying. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/18/a...

Reporters have no privilege from appearing before a grand jury, but DOJ’s duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed requires respect for the free press, and compulsion is usually a last resort. The increased frequency of compelling reporters suggests a different view of 1st Amendment.

Go Norm. It is hard to see these criminal charges as anything other than shameless scapegoating for Trump‘s failed efforts to restore the Reflecting Pool, even if it means ruining someone’s life.

Book tour for The Fix heads for the west coast this week. 🛫 Please join us in one of these great cities, starting tonight at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. Then on to Portland, Seattle, Palm Springs, LA, and San Diego. Details here. 👇 www.barbaramcquade.com/tour

Thanks to everyone who came out for my book talk tonight at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial, including Next Chapter Books. You can get signed copies of The Fix there. www.nextchapterbkstore.com

Judge quashes DOJ subpoenas to Walz and Frey. This appears to have been an effort to coerce production of voting records and compliance with Trump’s immigration agenda. Law is not a political cudgel. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/u...

Please join me and Stephen Henderson for a conversation about my new book, The Fix, tonight at the Grosse Pointe Ear Memorial at 6:30 PM. Details here. www.warmemorial.org/events/barba...

Great to connect with UMich Law students at ACS national convention in Washington, DC last week!

Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers and father figures out there.

Like most things Trump touches, the Reflecting Pool is now in worse shape than before. Adding cosmetic paint did not solve the underlying problem. And now he baselessly blames vandals for his failure. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Honored to join Vanita Gupta, Harold Koh, Donald Sherman, and Rep. Jamie Raskin at @acslaw.bsky.social convention in Washington, DC, to discuss how we can use the law to restore power to the people.

Happy Juneteenth, a day of celebration for America’s movement toward a more perfect union, and a day of commitment to the work that is left to be done.

I got to join the great Julie Mason in the SiriusXM studio to discuss my new book, The Fix.

GOP Sen Bill Cassidy calls Trump’s attack and deal with Iran “the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.”

Thanks for the restaurant recommendations in Chapel Hill. I went with Merritt’s, home of the world famous BLT. Even the baby size had four slices of bacon!

Thanks to everyone who came out for my book talk tonight at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Tomorrow, The Fix tour heads to Solid State Books in Washington, DC.

All political violence must be denounced, regardless of its viewpoint. In America, we resolve our differences at the ballot box and in courts of law. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It’s Wednesday. That means a new episode of #SistersSidebar podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Thanks for a great conversation, Andy!

Any good iconic restaurants I should try while in Chapel Hill?

An important part of being a law-enforcement official is knowing when to keep your mouth shut. Kash Patel is so eager to take credit for arrests that he keeps making announcements prematurely, this time reportedly before all suspects were in custody. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

Book tour heads to North Carolina tonight, where I will discuss The Fix with Sarah Somers of the National Health Law Program at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill. Please join us! Details here 👇 flyleafbooks.com/event/mcquad...

I joined Bill Press to discuss how to fix our broken government.

Don’t let Trump appropriate America’s 250th birthday. It is a time to celebrate, reflect, and reform. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

Seing through Trump’s Roy Cohn tactics, a review of my new book, The Fix, in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Unitary executive theory was made up by conservative lawyers in 1980s to empower Reagan. Today, they find support in Scalia’s dissent in Morrison v Olson, but SCOTUS majority — in still-binding precedent — said hogwash. www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/...

New Gordie Howe Bridge between Detroit and Windsor is ready to open. Where residents and businesses see long-needed critical infrastructure, Trump sees only leverage. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...
