On July 2, 2025, Robert Weiner and Coby Rinke published a piece in The Charlotte Observer, “Before Thom Tillis exits, he needs to defend one of his legislative triumphs.” It was subsequently reprinted in OpEd News on July 4, 2025, and ranked H2 (number two op-ed in the nation). In the article, Rinke and Weiner commend Senator Thom Tillis for his past bipartisan leadership on the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which funded school mental health services to prevent gun violence. They urge Tillis to speak out against the Trump administration’s recent decision to revoke over $1 billion in related grants, cuts that threaten critical mental health programs in North Carolina schools under the pretext of opposing DEI initiatives.

That same day, Robert Weiner’s solo op-ed “Here’s How to Bolster Social Security” was featured as the lead contributed item on the editorial page of The Washington Post. In the piece, Weiner says insolvency or bankruptcy is a myth with Social Security's 2.7 trillion surplus protected by the 1983 Pepper-Reagan-O'Neill deal. Bob calls on Congress to shore up the long-term solvency of Social Security, especially by lifting the payroll tax cap, closing loopholes, and improving administrative transparency.
