About

M.A. Rothman is a USA Today bestselling novelist and the editor of The Rothman Report. Before he wrote fiction, he spent more than 30 years as an engineer in Silicon Valley, a career built on science, math and a habit of checking how things actually work rather than how they’re described.

That habit is the point of this site. The Rothman Report covers the stories that matter to people who are tired of being told what to think: politics, the courts, Israel and the Middle East, the media, crime and the culture. It does so with one rule. Every claim is checked against its source, and every source is linked, so you can read the documents, rulings and transcripts yourself.

Each article is a deeper, verified expansion of reporting first shared on his X and Facebook accounts, which reach a large daily audience. When we get something wrong, we correct it openly; see our corrections policy. Have a tip? Send it here.

Hard work breeds luck. Luck breeds success.
