In February, Elon Musk posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asked if we suffered childhood trauma and concluded by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This was my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

In preparing for my most recent Supreme Court argument, I realized that I have something in common with the Court’s conservative members. Like them, I do not believe there should be “second-class” constitutional rights subject to judicial balancing. If something is a right, it must be protected.

This is a lot of words to say that DOJ is in violation of the statutory deadline and will take even longer to produce records that were due last week.

The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House. I don’t know what is next for the storied franchise, but it will never be the same. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/60-m...

Here is a list of Supreme Court cases we here at Democracy Docket will be keeping our gimlet eyes peeled for in 2026 — those with the greatest potential for reshaping American democracy and our nation’s constitutional order in the coming year, whether for good or for ill (mostly for ill).

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) Monday appealed a federal judge’s dismissal of its criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D). www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: According to Democracy Docket, there have been 43 anti-voting lawsuits filed this election cycle. The DOJ has filed 25 lawsuits that would ultimately lead to valid voters being removed from registration rolls, putting their right to cast a ballot at risk.

Today I wrote about 60 Minutes' decision to obey in advance and why it represents the sad end to the storied franchise. We are in desperate need of strong independent media. You can help Democracy Docket be a part of it by becoming a premium member today. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work. The only solution is to support pro-democracy independent media.

support independent media. idk what else to say right now.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the New England State Area Conference of the NAACP and the Massachusetts Alliance for Retired Americans, my law firm has filed a motion to intervene as defendants in the DOJ's lawsuit seeking Massachusetts' complete voter registration database.

Shameful.

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Earlier this year the people at 60 Minutes urged me to overcome fear and speak on camera about what it's like being a lawyer being targeted by Trump. When I did, they lavished me with praise -- noting I was the only person willing to do it. Now it is their turn to show courage.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

In preparing for my most recent Supreme Court argument, I realized that I have something in common with the Court’s conservative members. Like them, I do not believe there should be “second-class” constitutional rights subject to judicial balancing. If something is a right, it must be protected.

The Department of Justice has pulled more than a dozen images, including one containing photos of President Donald Trump, from the thousands of files related to financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that it released Friday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What a shameful question. First, it is not what Congress "asked for." It is what a federal statute REQUIRES. Second, WTF does "spirit but not intent" even mean? CBS bent a knee and paid Trump, it has a new owner who wants to please Trump, and sadly this is the result.

MUST READ: DOJ is demanding states surrender their private voter data in the name of election integrity. But its rapidly expanding crusade to seize that data has been riddled with sloppy filings and a growing list of self-inflicted embarrassments that undercut the department’s claim to competence.

My latest podcast episode already has nearly 200k views! I explain that as I prepared for my latest SCOTUS argument, I came across a conservative constitutional theory that I think can adapted to protect the right to vote. I hope you watch, enjoy and share. youtu.be/p-CcpDNgh0k?...

NEW EPISODE: I recently argued my 5th Supreme Court case. As I prepared, I came across a conservative gun case that I realized could help restore the right to vote as a first-class constitutional right. I promise you will learn and I hope you are inspired to stay in the fight for democracy.

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong. 1. The release was not "huge." 2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files. 3, No mention of extensive redactions. Support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

By 1:30pm today, Democracy Docket had already published that the DOJ files release was incomplete and violated federal law. Why did it take so many legacy media outlets until this evening to come to the same conclusion?
