Congress is going hard for the SAVE Act, so we need to meet them with our opposition.

Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation hearing for DHS secretary is later this week. The Senate already knows what happens when a dangerous and cruel DHS secretary is confirmed. Tell your senators to vote NO on Mullin and doubling down on ICE’s lawless violence.

Trump’s DOJ is suing Utah to get the state's full voter rolls, including birthdates, addresses and IDs. The NAACP is fighting the data grab, arguing it puts minorities at risk and will scare them away from registering to vote. Read more: utahpolitics.news/trumps-doj-w...

More than a few of you Delta SkyMiles folks in Salt Lake.

Call Senators Lee and Curtis. NO on Mullin!

❌🧊

People in SLC can still protest. They can blast the names of the companies working with ICE to convert warehouse into concentration camp. They can demand city council and county refuse permits. It's not too late! @slindivisible.bsky.social

Very good sir, please continue to to tell the public that you're happy that oil prices are going up, that will play great in the midterms

NEW: Hundreds of mental health professionals have left the Department of Veterans Affairs since President Donald Trump took office, leaving staff “at a breaking point” and some veterans waiting as long as six months for help.

A nominee chosen by President Donald Trump for a top position within the State Department has withdrawn consideration after Sen. John Curtis said he would oppose his candidacy. https://ow.ly/ykyH50YsGs8

EXCLUSIVE: @standupforscience.bsky.social sent an investigator to Guinea-Bissau and shared their unpublished findings with members of Congress. I obtained a copy of that report, which details how deeply the researchers are enmeshed - and what that means for US: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The people of Minnesota have taken ti forming musical traffic jams to make ICE live as inconveniently as possible ICE will lose to the will of We The People

NEW: Utah Republicans passed a law making it harder for voters to remove their signatures from the GOP's petition to legalize partisan gerrymandering — an initiative it's been hellbent on after courts struck down its previous map for violating a gerrymandering ban. The law takes effect immediately.

Memories …

Utah lawmakers introduced a late-night change to an election bill apparently geared toward slowing the removal of signatures from a ballot initiative that would repeal Proposition 4.

The Utah Legislature has adjourned following a 45-day session dealing with taxes, housing, courts, immigration and a host of other issues.

Nuggets from my interview last night w/ Gov. Cox: 💧 Water restrictions possible this summer 🗳 Potential special session for a constitutional amendment on "right to alter and reform government" after redistricting lawsuit 🖋 So far, nothing he sees is an automatic veto Watch it here: #utpol #Utah

My recap is exhaustive of the 1,000+ bills introduced in the 2026 Utah legislature. I've put a lot of work into it, so I hope you find it helpful! www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah

Tonight!

You’re at the top of the list again, Utah. Keep calling!

At a committee hearing this afternoon, Burton acknowledged his "300 dead people voted" statement is not true, and the Senate ultimately killed his bill that would've made it harder to vote by mail or dropbox. Burton said he offered the correction because The Tribune questioned him on it.

A controversial Utah bill that would restrict some of Salt Lake City's traffic-calming efforts stalled in a House committee Monday.

We have to continue calling and make them hear us

A Sing-in for hope and solidarity

this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.
