HOT OFF THE PRESS: My latest piece on Germany’s energy transition & the heating law.

It already offers a solid path to phase out fossil heating.

What we need: stable funding, better local planning & skilled workers. Cutting complexity instead of endless political debate.

The Constitution doesn’t say “We the People… unless the President or the Court says otherwise.”
Yet that’s exactly what’s happening.

We can’t wait for permission to defend it.
We must STAY LOUD.

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states.

My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5.

This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026.

More soon.
DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Real answer: Trump receives Lecanemab (Leqembi) or Donanemab (Kisunla) via IV infusion in an effort to slow his cognitive loss due to his dementia.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

Why are people acting surprised that Trump recently tried to intimidate and extort Indiana Republicans when he did the exact same thing five years ago this very month to state Republicans in Michigan and other swing states he lost in 2020 election?

Seriously…
