Asking a man who would be the first Muslim federal circuit court judge in American history his non-expert opinion about world affairs, history that is unrelated to the position of a federal judge, is certainly a choice.

Three years ago, I got some footage that I couldn’t get out of my mind.

It showed the first police killing captured on body-worn cameras in NY.

The NYPD didn’t want anyone to see it.

It eventually launched me on the biggest story I’ve ever done, w/ NYT Magazine

11 years ago, 20 children and six adults were stolen from us at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

No matter how many years pass, my heart breaks for Newtown.

Today and always we remember those who should still be with us—and honor them by building a future free of gun violence.

Read this article on how Donald Trump tried to destroy this woman’s life in service of a lie. Giuliani is on trial here but he was just Trump’s henchman.

When Whitaker ran for Senate he said only Christians should be federal judges. And Trump made him acting attorney general.

There is nothing new under the sun. March 2020 headline: “McConnell: Impeachment distracted government from coronavirus threat.” thehill.com/homenews/senat…

By 11 points, Americans want Ukraine aid.
Majorities in both houses of Congress support it.
It's in US moral and strategic interest.
The cost to the US is low.
But a Putin-sympathizing, democracy-opposing faction dominating the GOP has just enough institutional power to block it.

I said this the other day but if your explanation of why young Americans have turned against Israel doesn’t feature “15 years of Israeli governments that barely even pretend to be interested in the peace process” you’re not being serious.

This important context for the Supreme Court’s orders in the mifepristone cases must be kept in mind. I explain at Law Dork: lawdork.com/p/breaking-sup…

If Trump is convicted and sentenced for his crimes, he can still run for president, just like Eugene Debs did in 1920. No one will be disenfranchised!

If you're a parent who feels like your kids have way too much plastic crap toys, you're not alone. There's hard data: Toys are WAY WAY cheaper than they used to be.
