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

Here's my @nytimes review of Leonnig and Davis' fine new book about the Justice Department under Biden and Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/b...

The real questions about Biden's use of the autopen www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/o...

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. next.frame.io/share/13fbe3...

You'll be amazed at how many corrupt Republican Congressmen Trump has pardoned. My story at @nytimes www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/o...

This is a terrific book. I was slow in getting to it, but the wait was well worth it. Read it.

Richard Nixon's enemies did better than Donald Trump's. My column in @nytimes www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...

And you should also read all those Diaries of a Wimpy Kid. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/b...

Bryan Stevenson has built a museum in Montgomery that tells a very different story about civil rights than the one Donald Trump wants told. Here's my interview with him in @nytimes www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

Big fan, Chris. Ignore the haters.

Does Donald Trump Want Barack Obama to be Executed? My @nytimes piece. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/o...

Check out my pals Norm Eisen and Jim Acosta talking about Good Trouble day on the @contrariannews.org YouTube channel tonight at 7:30pm. bsky.app/profile/norm...

Get ready for Justice Emil Bove. My @nytimes.com piece. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/16/o...

Is this too obvious? Trump doesn't want the Epstein documents (file, whatever you call it) released because they implicate Trump himself.

It's catnip for pardon nerds!

Reading assignment is “Homegrown” by @jeffreytoobin1.bsky.social

I wish I could follow a bunch of my favorite writers at the same time on #Substack. Just pay one price and get them all. I have even come up with a name for this service. You could call it a . . . "magazine."

Trump punishes his enemies with investigations even more than with prosecutions. My @nytimes column: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

I didn't miss the connection. #Homegrown

The Minnesota assasin has political views that are very similar to those of Timothy McVeigh. This right-wing commitment to political violence is an enduring part of American life. #Jan6 #Homegrown

Great to be back in Alabama.

If #ElonMusk is so concerned about the deficit, why doesn't he just support raising taxes on people like himself?

Donald Trump is transactional about everything, including “his” Supreme Court justices. @cnn.com @andersoncooper360.bsky.social app.frame.io/presentation...

Pardons much in the news every day! Watch my interview about my book, The Pardon, at the Clinton Library on C-Span this weekend. www.c-span.org/event/the-pr...

Trump pardons those who pay in cash or political support. @CNN app.frame.io/presentation...

Thanks to Trump v US, even if Trump took a bribe in return for a pardon, he couldn’t be criminally prosecuted.

Another Trump pardon of a political ally who happens also to be (literally) a crooked sheriff. www.cnn.com/2025/05/26/p...

Big news in the world of law firms that capitulated to President Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/b...

The firms that capitulated to Trump are facing a nightmare that will last longer than their reprieve. My @nytimes column. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/o...

Some old school @ny-knicks.bsky.social basketball!

David Souter was a figure from a vanished era. Remember moderate and liberal Republicans? My take in @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

Keep in mind that Trump has not even begun nominating judges in his second term. This group will make his first-term appointments look like liberals.

At one key moment in the Civil Rights era, the Justices of the Supreme Court spoke with one voice. Now, they should do it again. My @nytimes.com column. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/o...

I should say: Oklahoma City terrorist attack. I read this book, Homegrown, by @jeffreytoobin1.bsky.social last year. It’s a good, horrifying overview of how McVeigh planned and carried out the attack.

In the thirty years since the Oklahoma City bombing, the country took an extraordinary journey – from nearly universal horror at the action of a right-wing extremist [McVeigh] to wide embrace of a president who reflected the bomber’s values.

If you’re interested in the OKC bombing on this 30th anniversary, @jeffreytoobin1.bsky.social book “Homegrown” is really fantastic and comprehensive account of what happened then—and its longer-term meaning the politics of the three decades since.

Trump's absurd pardons just began with the Jan6 rioters. My story in @AirMailWeekly airmail.news/issues/2025-...

Under 22A, Trump cannot run for a third term but he can serve a third term if he runs as Vance’s VP and Vance promptly resigns.

Trump is now pardoning favored white-collar criminals every day. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/b...

The annotated @jeffreytoobin1.bsky.social... Since I couldn't find it anywhere else, I FOIA'd the DOJ for President Jimmy Carter's 1/19/81 pardon of Peter Yarrow [1938-2025]. Here it is...

Trump is pardoning political allies all the time these days. Jan6 was just the beginning. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/u...

I was honored to work with John Keker during my PI days. @jeffreytoobin1.bsky.social does a good job describing him in his book about Iran-Contra. Does not surprise me in the least that he refuses to put up with Trump’s BS. He’s an ex-marine and a truly decent man.

Perhaps CJ Roberts was embarrassed by Trump's conspicuous thank-you in front of Congress (and the world). Or perhaps the Chief's just said what he thought: that federal judges should not be threatened for doing their jobs.

Hey Little Rock! Looking forward to talking about The Pardon on Wednesday at an event co-sponsored by the Clinton Library and the Little Rock Library. Join us! www.clintonlibrary.gov/events

Hey Dallas! Please join me tomorrow at the Dallas World Affairs Council to talk about The Pardon -- and the many pardons that appear day after day. www.dfwworld.org/event/2025-j...
