Jeffrey Toobin

I'm pleased to announce that my new book, "The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy," is now available for pre-order, in advance of publication in Feb 2025. Kind of timely, I'm thinking. simonandschuster.com/books/The-Pard…

@SCOTUSblog Happy birthday to the legend! He covered the Warren Court! That's Earl Warren, not Warren Burger.

@Milbank I am rooting for you.

I am leaving the Washington Post to join a new journalistic venture backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton that will be both the hometown publication the D.C. region sorely needs and a scrappy and fearless national news organization. I hope you'll join us.

The capitulating law firms look worse than ever -- like fools. My @nytimes piece. nytimes.com/2026/03/05/opi…

NEW and BREAKING: In a major reversal, the Trump admin is NOW trying to walk back its decision to walk away from defending the law firm executive orders in court. DOJ just notified the four fighting law firms that it now intends to continue defending the legality of the orders in court. A day ago, DOJ had a very different position. w/ @Jonesieman @DevlinBarrett nytimes.com/2026/03/03/us/…

For those who read my @nytimes story about Thomas Goldstein, the Supreme Court lawyer and poker player, he was convicted today of 12 of 16 counts of tax and mortgage fraud in federal court in Maryland. nytimes.com/2025/12/28/mag…

The American Constitution Society is getting ready to challenge the Federalisty Society in a battle of ideas. Here's my story in @nytimes nytimes.com/2026/02/16/opi…

Great #SuperBowl if you love punting.

Sorry to see this. Big fan of your work.

the Last Book I Ever Read: Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism by @JeffreyToobin, excerpt two: tinyurl.com/mrewjak2 @USMarshalsHQ @BuffaloBills

These are some Serious high-class folks

Episode 1 with @JeffreyToobin looks at what happens when political pressure against firms stops being theoretical and starts looking like what people now shorthand as “FAFO.”

If Usain Bolt gives me his gold medal, does that make me the fastest runner in the world?

“For Judge Hellerstein to hang on to the Maduro case when he will be well into his 10th decade would be a disservice to himself, to the parties in court, and to the cause of justice in America.” writes @JeffreyToobin. nyti.ms/4qcQ9a6

@nytimes The 92-year-old judge in the Maduro case should step aside. tl;dr He's too old nytimes.com/2026/01/06/opi…

Like every year, this was a great year to a fan of the @nyjets

A must read profile of Thomas Goldstein by @JeffreyToobin.

Pleased to share my new @nytimes magazine story about Tom Goldstein, the superstar Supreme Court advocate whose life has been upended by his ultra high stakes gambling on poker. Check it out. nytimes.com/2025/12/28/mag…

I'd believe the death notices for MAGA if they weren't all announced by Democrats who want the demise actually to occur. Wishcasting is unpersuasive.

Just finished the most recent @JeffreyToobin book “The Pardon” - read it in about 2 days. As ever, thorough, pacily written and rivetingly told. I’ve read 5 of his 10 books (“American Heiress” perhaps the most dazzling) and they’re all great reads. Next: his McVeigh account.

I keep wondering about this question: if Kamala Harris had won last year, what would have been her top policy agenda? What would she have pushed Congress to do? What’s the first thing a Democratic president would do in 2029? What am I missing?
