Utah Sen. Nate Blouin introduced a bill to prevent ICE from entering churches and hospitals, and from wearing facial coverings.

1,000 signatures. 5 days. No corporate money. Just people power. This is what a grassroots campaign looks like. We’re just getting started.

It’s official, today I signed on as @nateforutah.bsky.social’s Organizing Director! If you want a bold, honest, and progressive leader in Washington, join our campaign! Sign up to volunteer or chip in a few bucks to help Nate fight back against billionaires and corporate interests. #utpol

i’ll add that what substantively seems to annoy silver is the existence of people with principles

I don’t think vacancy rates are that high across the board but it is still frustrating to see high vacancies and is often used as a reason to not build more housing. One potential solution is a kind of vacancy tax that can actually be implemented incredibly easily here in Utah! Here’s how:

Reminder that while Salt Lake County Council Member Aimee Winder Newton(GOP) is closing daycares, intimidating staff, banning fluoride, and closing senior centers she Reps a seat that voted for Kamala by 7pts

More of this nationwide please!

from a state party director

why on earth would you say this? Who does it serve?

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do. If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections. www.axios.com/2025/12/01/j...

New ad dropped. Let’s go! I'm running for Congress in Utah's 1st District to take on big corporations & the billionaires. To make housing & energy more affordable, fight for Medicare for All, protect our public lands, & to build a future for all of us.

We can’t keep doing politics as usual. Utahns struggle to pay for housing while Trump & the GOP Congress play games with our healthcare & victimize our communities. It’s time for Democrats who will stand up & speak truth to power. That’s why I’m running for Congress. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1usm...

Tomorrow, a new age of Utah begins

Well this about sums it up #utpol @cityweekly.bsky.social

Very disappointed people endorsing McAdams right after he announces and before most candidates have even declared. When Natalie Pinkney ran the vast majority of Dem electeds had already endorsed her opponents before she announced. But she still won. And we can do that again.

Progressive state Senator Nate Blouin strongly considering a run for new Utah Seat

Its like D+20 soo WelcomePAC very much jumped the gun

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Like I fucking said.

If I had won the election to be the chair of the Utah Democratic Party I would be actively working with other members of the DNC to immediately censure the 8 Democrats who capitulated to Trump. I’d also draft a statement from the state party calling on Schumer to resign as leader. #utpol

We got Trump 2.0 because voters didnt know how bad Trump is bad at governing because Dems intervened to help during Covid and Trump got credit. Stop helping him.

If you're looking for additional avenues: - your state DNC reps - your state Democratic party chair If you start making it their problem, they'll start making it the electeds problem, too, because they don't want to catch strays

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

I told my Senators that the message Senate Dems are sending is that if we vote for Democrats resoundingly in an election, they’ll promptly fold. Is this what they want us to take from this?

100% on #2

Im seeing a lot of arguments like this from colleagues in PoliSci My view from working on autocracy is that Dems were winning on the biggest fight- making autocratization unpopular and now they're giving that up. Those are the costs

I wish I could say this would be ammo for all of these folks to be removed. But I'm more and more concerned that the Democratic Party as an institutional vehicle is beyond functional repair. And when that bleeds over badly enough, the party will become a worthless electoral vehicle.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

“We won the thing we were legally owed” take a victory lap Dems, absolutely killing it

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

This is correct. I think the correct response from those upset by this is to demand that those Senators voting against the resolution move to dismiss Schumer. If they won't do that publicly and actively, they need to face a primary challenger.

This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame: Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever

What makes this more frustrating is that Dems were winning. They had public opinion They had base enthusiasm They had Trump making tactical mistakes every day And they lose

This is horrible. This move will save the county $2 million dollars per year, reducing the property tax increase for the average household by just 30 cents per month. #utpol kutv.com/news/local/h...

Turning our local police officers into immigration agents was a bad idea before and it’s an even worse one with the current administration. I’ll always fight to protect ALL Murray residents.

Not even a page into the actual proposal is a commitment to increasing pay, retention bonuses, and promotions for CBP and DHS. You know - the groups who's employees are actively (and in many cases gleefully) destroying the American Constitution to shreds.

Just a reminder that I’m old enough to run for Congress 👀

First results are in and it looks like I made it! Thank you to everyone who voted for me, donated to or volunteered on my campaign and to all of the candidates who cared enough about our community to throw their hat in the ring. I have a lot of work to do before November and I hope you’ll join me!

If you haven’t turned in your ballot yet you’ll be hearing from us! Drop your ballot off in a drop box before 8pm on Tuesday August 12th to make sure that your voice is heard!

A politically-competent Democratic party would make sure every member of the caucus votes to ban stock trading and puts all the heat on the GOP. I strongly suspect we will not see competence from Dem leadership, but I sincerely hope to be wrong.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Stewardship Utah. I’m excited for the opportunity to work with them to protect our environment for generations to come. #utpol

There was giving Jeffries mulligans because he’s new at the job, but then we have this. Disagreements with Mamdani is one thing but this is getting ridiculous when he’s the nominee
