If you're in Chicago, join me on 10/4 for a conversation about Supremacy -- @nikobowie.bsky.social and my new book -- with @petersagal.bsky.social and Don Verrilli at the Chicago Humanities Festival! Two of the greats, and I can't wait to discuss with them the case against ultimate judicial rule.

Proud of the CDCers who fought to get this vital info out! 30% of our workforce is gone. Heartbroken by the loss of brilliant scientists, institutional knowledge, & frankly my friends, colleagues, & mentors. An understaffed CDC harms the public & leaves the US vulnerable. Rebuilding will take years

It is clear that Democrats are set to sweep control of Congress in free and fair elections. It is also clear that Trump and the GOP are working to make sure the elections are not free and fair. I founded Democracy Docket to help you stay informed to fight back. demdock.com/4w6emld

Trump’s attack on the free press is so transparent that we can all see through it. It’s not about national security, it’s about his inability to deal with criticism. Without a free press, we lose our ability to keep track of what our government is up to. joycevance.substack.com/p/consequenc...

John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a Texas Tribune headline from July 7, 2026 reads: “Ken Paxton vowed to crack down on 'illegal voting.' He may have violated Texas election law.” An article excerpt below says: "... appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections ...”

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
