The work we've done at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has really changed how cancer is treated.

Dr. Gordon Freeman's discovery of the PDL-1 pathway has revolutionized immunotherapy.

Dr. Stephen Hody's work has taken this knowledge further by attacking metastatic melanoma and kidney cancer through more than one pathway.

Dana-Farber has been steadily discovering for 75 years.

Good morning. I'm Cody Godwin, filling in for Taylor Wilson.

Today is Monday, September 8th, 2025.

This is USA Today's The Excerp.

Today's Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney-Barrant sat down for a rare interview with USA Today to talk about her new book, listening to the law.

Plus, the first millennial saint has been canonized, and who won big at the MTV Video Music Awards?

Amy Coney Barrett would like to have a word. The Supreme Court Justice has written a book

titled Listening to the Law, set to be published on September 9th.

In it, she wears her former law professor hat to try to make the workings of the judicial system

understandable to readers who don't necessarily have law degrees.

In an exclusive interview with USA Today, she also expounded on professional issues and more personal

ones, like, for instance, what keeps her up at night? For more takeaways from this rare

interview, my colleague Taylor Wilson spoke with USA Today Supreme Court correspondent, Maureen Gropi.

Maureen, thanks for joining me. Hey, happy to chat. So let's get to some of the main takeaways

from your sit down with Justice Amy

Coney-Barrid.

I want to start with this. I mean, Justice Katanji Brown Jackson recently wrote that the court seems to have a rule that this administration always wins. What did Justice Coney Barrett say about that? Well, she disagreed. She said both that the evidence doesn't support that and that the court doesn't make decisions the way Jackson described, which Barrett said would be similar to how she might handle disputes among her seven children saying things like, okay, well, I'm going to try to even things out, and you'll win some and you'll lose some. She said that's not how the law works. Well, you asked her, what keeps her up at night? I was really intrigued by this question.

How did you answer that?
