It's called It's called The Last Branch Standing, published by the legal journalist Sarah Isker. Um I think it'll be out in April. And if you want a book that explains the Roberts Court from the inside, it helps you understand how that court operates and thinks, uh I haven't seen a better one.
Answering The Ezra Klein Show's closing question, three books to recommend, in “Has Trump Achieved a Lot Less Than It Seems?” (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-yuval-levin.html). Quoted from the episode's YouTube auto-captions.
Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Hardware, services4 years
Software5 years
Podcasts, courses, other8 years
Books25 years
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
