Thanks to our veterans and service members who make profound sacrifices so that the rest of us can live in freedom. Happy Veterans’ Day.

While all defendants are presumed, innocent, the Halloween takedown of the alleged terror plot in Detroit was the only responsible thing to do. My thoughts in Cafe.com.  cafe.com/notes-from-c...

Gifting this article from The Atlantic by a judge appointed by Reagan, who is resigning so he can speak out about how Trump is destroying the rule of law. Must read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

In new episode of #SistersInLaw, we discussed the acquittal of the Sandwich Guy, chaos in Chicago, and the ways in which the charges in the Comey case keep getting weaker. Plus, that time Jill met the Earl of Sandwich. You can listen here. www.politicon.com/podcasts/the...

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Court finds Trump Administration is violating its order to provide full SNAP benefits. I will discuss with Ana Cabrera at @MSNBC at 11:15 am ET. In our judicial system, losing litigants may appeal court orders with which they disagree, but they may not defy them.

Please share the best jokes you’ve heard regarding the acquittal of Sandwich Guy. We will share our favorites in this week’s episode of #SistersInLaw.  My favorite so far is assault with a deli weapon! 🥪🤣 Others?

I like my sandwiches with a side of justice, too. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

What a day to study law in such a beautiful place! @UMichLaw

Now that’s rich. All gerrymandering is anti-Democratic, in my view, and SCOTUS really blew it in Rucho by permitting it, but GOP lawsuit to block it in California while using it in other states is the height of hypocrisy. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

Listening to @NealKatyal.bsky.social argue tariffs case. Impressive and persuasive. Politely calling out Alito on his own inconsistency in textualism. IEEPA makes no mention of tariffs. www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

Congratulations to Mary Sheffield, first woman elected mayor in Detroit's 324 years. Progress comes slowly, but it comes eventually, with hard work. www.freep.com/story/news/p...

Government brief finally discloses its theory in Comey case. Alleged FBI leaker is Prof Daniel Richman. But he was not employed at FBI at time of alleged leak, AND it occurred AFTER Comey’s testimony. I’ll discuss on @MSNBC at 11:30 am ET. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71459...

Spending the day working on first round edits of my new book. And eating too much leftover Halloween candy. 😬

A new episode of #SistersInLaw, we discussed next weeks SCOTUS arguments about Trump’s tariffs, AG lawsuits challenging lapse in SNAP benefits, and attacks on marriage equality. You can listen here.  www.politicon.com/podcasts/oh-...

“They were careless people … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

The Trump administration’s effort to rewrite history continues with more firings at DOJ. I’ll join MSNBC at 8 AM to discuss. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/p...

Happy Halloween!

Our beloved @UMichLaw School is always beautiful, but it is particularly spectacular in the fall.

I was honored to join the Michigan Library Association this morning to discuss the threat of disinformation. Thank you for being guardians of knowledge!

I filled in for @joycewhitevance.bsky.social in this week’s Cafe Insider podcast, and talked with @preetbharara.bsky.social about US airstrikes on alleged drug boats. @cafedotcom.bsky.social You can listen here: cafe.com/insider-podc...

I was honored to join the @UMich Alumnae Council for their annual Athena Award event. Lifting up students at the University of Michigan since 1917. We stand on the shoulders of these remarkable women, and we still have more work to do.  alumni.umich.edu/communities-....

In new episode of #SistersInLaw, we discussed Trump’s $230 million shakedown, that White House ballroom, and NBA gambling scandal. Plus our favorite No Kings signs. You can listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Excited to see Phil Brest take the reins of the American Constitution Society, an important organization working to uphold the rule of law.

Ready to go, Joyce! I already have my copy. Thanks for your work to safeguard our democracy!

The Bolton indictment is different from the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James. My thoughts in the Contrarian.  contrarian.substack.com/p/dont-lump-...

Looks like the neighbors are having a spooky bit of fine dining.

Thank you to the Association of Corporate Counsel for inviting me to your conference in Philadelphia to discuss ways to recognize and address the problem of disinformation. I hope you will all find value in reading “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.”

Good morning, Philly! Looking forward to talking with the Association of Corporate Counsel later today about my book, “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.”

No Kings, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

This stretched two full miles, ending at the Big House, game traffic honking support the entire time. Ann Arbor upon Ann Arbor. It was awesome.

No Kings, Gettysburg, PA, style!

New episode of #SistersInLaw is here. I missed this week’s show, but I enjoyed listening to my sisters’ smart analysis of the Voting Rights Act cases, the Bolton indictment, and other legal issues in the news. You can listen here.  www.politicon.com/podcasts/ind...

Thanks to everyone, who came out to my talk last night at Millersville University. Special thanks to be League of Women Voters for their role in organizing the event. Their motto—voting is your superpower!

I visited the Gettysburg National Battlefield and Cemetery while I was in central Pennsylvania for last night’s book talk at Millersville University. This site, where 55,000 Americans died, is a moving reminder of the value of peaceful protest.  Next stop, No Kings rally! 

Today, veterans, public servants, and other patriots who love America will gather to show their love for democracy. You can find here a No Kings rally near you: www.nokings.org

Trump is all about normalizing corruption.

When an administration’s agenda is all about “owning the libs,” this is the kind of nonsense we get. Aren’t there any grownups out there who want to serve as president?

Attack from Within book tour heads to Philadelphia. It really is always sunny here! Tonight, I’ll be speaking at Millersville University. Details here. blogs.millersville.edu/news/2025/10...

Today at Detroit Metro Airport.

In stark contrast to Comey and James Indictments, Bolton charges seem serious, at least on their face. Indictment alleges Bolton transmitted classified documents to book editors without authorization, and documents were then obtained by Iranian hackers. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Details emerge on resignation of U.S. Attorney in WDVA. Trump and his henchmen are destroying DOJ from the inside out. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

Important points about masked agents here by Jim Zirin. Here is another. Trump’s use of agents as pawns in his war against Democrats puts them in danger and makes them less effective in their actual mission to protect the homeland. thehill.com/opinion/crim...
