Oil prices have plummeted this week as U.S.-Iran peace negotiations signal potential breakthroughs, with Brent crude falling to $103.

Following the record: lawsuits, executive orders and the money, sourced to the filing.
The full list as signed, with dates - the primary record rather than the coverage of it.
Time remaining to noon on 20 January 2029, the moment fixed by the 20th Amendment, plus debt and key dates.
Every case we track, and what a court has actually decided in each - filed, certified, settled or judged.
Claims we have checked, with the primary source for each one.
