Will state attorneys general allow their cities to make energy policy? That's the question I ask in my latest column discussing climate lawfare currently being waged by blue cities and counties across the country: civitasinstitute.org/researc…

The @PostOpinions piece on the groundbreaking study ⬇️ washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

This would be a disaster for energy security at a moment when the world increasingly depends on US energy dominance. SCOTUS should make clear that national energy policy belongs in DC, not local courtrooms. Via @mctoth and @RoyHarbison in @nypost 👇 nypost.com/2026/06/08/opinio…

"The justices should shut down Boulder’s end run on the Constitution and reaffirm the basic principle that the nation’s energy policy can’t be dictated by local lawsuits."

I have a new column posted at American Banker BankThink this morning summarizing my new paper critiquing the use of asset thresholds in financial regulation.

What does ExxonMobil's move to Texas have in common with the @nyknicks? Check out my piece today in @BLaw to find out.

Great to join @GordonGChang on @FoxNews yesterday to highlight how foreign billionaires are funding left-wing groups to undermine AI data centers, American energy, and critical AI innovation. AI is a net good for the US. Foreign money should NOT be used to undermine it.

“If more companies run the same successful campaign as Exxon, the proxy firms may finally start to reform themselves in the same way that the asset managers did a few years ago.” Read @mctoth’s latest for @BLaw: news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-…

Yes, @DanLips! Today’s the day to celebrate financial freedom for the next generation 📈

Climate change plaintiffs want regulation without borders. That would harm American oil and gas and turn the lights off in Europe and other places that rely on US energy. As I write in the brief, it's time for SCOTUS to stop local governments from trying to make foreign policy.

The problem for the proxy advisory firms is that the corporate march to the Lone Star State won’t end with Exxon. More from research director @mctoth on Civitas Outlook: civitasoutlook.pulse.ly/nmbq…

Ahead of the busiest driving weekend of the year, Gavin Newsom is doubling down on stupid by picking a fight with Chevron — and as usual, he's lying the whole way. California's high gas prices are its own doing. — Nation's highest gas taxes — Air quality compliance costs — 64% reliance on foreign oil — 15 cents/gal due to “clean blended gas” use — 17% loss of refining capacity from closed refineries

A must-read from Tennessee Solicitor General Matthew Rice on Colorado’s attempt to bypass the constraints of the Constitution and influence national energy policy. 👇🏻 “Colorado may make its own policy choices on how best to manage natural resources within its borders while ensuring reliable and affordable energy. But it is not free to impose those decisions on the rest of the country through tort suits — just as other states cannot impose their preferences on other hotly contested political issues.” nationalreview.com/2026/05/r…
