No more red energy, blue energy. Geothermal is purple — and Washington is delaying it.

Judge Luttig has again performed a great service to the United States Constitution and to our republic by unsparingly and with great care and learning spelling out the steps that the Trump Party — I will not dignify it by calling it the Republican Party — plans to take in making January 3, 2027 the next January 6, another Day That Will Live in Infamy; and by meticulously and realistically outlining what all elected representatives of the American People must do — starting now — if they wish to redeem themselves in the eyes of history and avoid becoming the grim executioners of our once-great experiment in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. — Laurence Tribe judgeluttig327269.substack.c…

Watergate Today as a Blip of a Story? nytimes.com/2026/06/27/us/po… Vance brags about parallels between Nixon and Trump. He essentially claims Trump’s crimes are worse, and yet Trump is getting away with them. The arrogant championing of Presidential power above any law is terrifying.

Watergate Today as a Blip of a Story? Vance Might Not Be Entirely Wrong.
