We often use the end of the year to do a quick review of the state of the blog. Created in 2007, we are approaching our 20th anniversary. It is hard to imagine. We are celebrating the New Year after reaching our 95,000,000 view mark. Our community continues to grow rapidly around the world.
As always, I want to offer special thanks to Darren Smith, who has continued to help manage the blog. I also want to thank our dedicated editors, Kristin Oren and Hartwell Harrison, who continue their amazing work proofing posts on a daily basis to remove my embarrassing typos. Finally, I would like to thank our regular readers for their continued support and contributions.
The growth on Twitter this year has been astonishing. We are now over a million followers on X (formerly known as Twitter). I also started a Facebook site this year called JonathanTurleyUSA. Thousands of new people have signed up for emails, and we have almost 22,000 WordPress subscribers.
This week, we passed 22,675 posts and roughly 1,530,000 comments.
So here are the annual figures. Over the last year, our ten biggest international sources for readers came from:
- United States
2. Canada
3. Australia
4. United Kingdom
5. Germany
6. China
7. Netherlands
8. New Zealand
9. Japan
10. France
The top five posts in terms of traffic in the last year were:
-
- The Reveal: The Public is Finally Learning How Democrats Pulled Off the Greatest Political Trick in History
- “Your Credibility with Me is about None”: CNN Trial Goes From Bad to Worse
- Down But Not Out: The Supreme Court Rules 5-4 Against the Freezing $2 Billion in USAID Funds
- The Chilling Jurisprudence of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
- The Educational Cartel: How Randi Weingarten Finally Said the Quiet Part Out Loud
We are now routinely ranked among the top legal blogs in the world. We have also attracted our share of accolades, including the ABA Journal for its blog Hall of Fame. That is due in large part to our regulars, who add perspectives and passion to the issues that we discuss.
In these trying times, it is nice to have a place (even a virtual one) where you can go to discuss issues from the momentous to the merely odd. I hope you continue to find this site worthy of your time and contributions.
So, here’s hoping for a great year to come for our country, our families, and, yes, our blog in 2026.
95,000,000 views with 94,000,000 by George/X / Svelaz and Gigi McIntyre🤣
And yours?
95,000,000 and climbing. Best wishes professor Turkey.
Bravo Zulu Professor! Stay the course.
WE HAVE YOU TO THANK FOR THIS…. BLESSINGS TO YOU AND TO YOURS MR. TURLEY….
JT and All: Congratulations on your smashing success! And thank you for creating the opportunity to make comments.
Great work. From the charity of your writing, I’d bet you’re an excellent teacher.
“Charity” or “clarity”? I supposed either works.
Wonderful success! And thank you for your unwavering support for free speech. Although the forces of censorship want to silence you and all those who dare to challenge their fascist tendencies (especially in the American Democrat party and National Socialist Europe), you remain steadfast. Now, let’s get the Colonials back at GWU!
The forces? Who is “The forces”?
More people may view this blog on a daily basis than CNN, MSNBS, and the legacy networks.
My woke Democrat friends who are immune to all facts and data will read nothing I send them except your columns, which even they read as credible. I read everything you write and am grateful for your legal expertise..

Daily, I look forward to your unbiased, truthful, courageous, objective, constitutional based analysis. Those are the reasons why your popularity has exploded and the lack of those characteristics is precisely the cause of the Democrat colluding mainstream’s media (American Pravda) quick suicide.
Your success is well deserved.
While I only found this site this year it has been my go to site for real information about a vast variety of subjects.
Thank you, your staff and the commenters for enlightening me as well as confounding me.
EDIT: should have been last year but it is sometimes hard to change, especially time
Your material is a joy to read, even by an old, old lawyer who misses the fray.
Doubt if you can comprehend any of it.
I’m so glad I found your blog. It’s the only one I’ve recommended to my kids, who are both teachers and now in their 50’s, and hopefully have a more balanced view of our country and the rest of the world Thank you
Please keep writing your articles. They are accurate, truthful, balanced, and thought provoking. America needs more like you to enlighten all of us by exposing the true facts. Thank you. Happy New Year.
Congratulations professor and team!! Quite the accomplishment!! Well done!
Congratulations, Professor Turley, and thank you for sharing your insights about important topics with us on a daily basis.
Absolutely better than ever. Thank you Professor and team, and happy New Year!
Thank you. Very well done.
Always a good read. Congrats. And may the leftist responders forever rant on. Such a reliable source of smiles.
Excellent analysis and always fair! More than we can say for most media analysis!
What a triumph. Congratulations
