Column | Can’t put solar panels on your roof? Plug-in β€˜balcony solar’ may be for you. Balcony solar promises to cut energy costs and grid reliance for renters and apartment-dwellers. I did a trial run at my home.

As the summer sun beats down on Rhode Island, this technology puts clean power β€” literally β€” in people’s hands.

Pentagon plan would create military β€˜reaction force’ for civil unrest Documents reviewed by The Post detail a prospective National Guard mission that, if adopted, would require hundreds of troops to be ready around-the-clock.

The proposal...represents another potential expansion of President Donald Trump’s willingness to employ the armed forces on American soil. It relies on a section of U.S. Code that allows the commander in chief to circumvent limitations on the military’s use within the United States.

Trump seems to think Alaska still belongs to Russia.

No surprise that he’s as bad at geography as he is at respecting our military and our allies.

Reporter: Trump said twice that he planned to go to Russia, was that a slip up or does he plan to go to Russia?Β 

Leavitt: Perhaps there are plans in the future to go to Russia. On Friday, he will be meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both.

Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!

Did you know Missourians passed an anti-gerrymandering constitutional amendment in 2018?

Did you know that the Missouri GOP put it back on the ballot with deceptive language in 2020 and voters overturned the amendment? Voters were duped. Hoodwinked.

Republicans can’t win so they lie and cheat.

I had the opportunity to meet Josh this summer and he is exactly the type of public servant we need. Its extremely easy to talk about how horrible Joni Ernst is, but its even easier to talk about how amazing Josh is! Lets root for him and support his bid to boot Joni out!

Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."
