He does have a pretty solid grip. If you like Donald Trump and what he does, you vote Republican. If not, you don't. Politics has become very simplified in this regard. I don't think there's much more to the meta analysis these days.

Was your flag pole damaged from beating a police officer on January 6th? You may be entitled to compensation.

Gov. Spencer Cox is hosting his "Operation Gigawatt Summit" in Park City on Friday. Nine sponsors of the event donated more than $400K to Cox and GOP leaders since 2022. The summit's top-billed sponsor wrote three separate $50,000 checks to Cox. Full breakdown: utahpolitics.news/operation-gi...

Trump also didn’t personally tear down the East wing of the White House.

I assumed we would never see the "settlement agreement," or whatever you want to call it, but evidently DOJ went ahead and posted it on its website. A couple things are interesting if you can steel your mind for the outrage and horror of its general nature. www.justice.gov/opa/media/14...

In the current world of MAGA politics, “…it is all publicly and properly disclosed” simply means “we’re no longer trying to hide grift and corruption.”

Says the guy whose ICE agents now have more budget than all federal law enforcement agencies combined.

DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem, originally accused the victim of "attempted murder.” - “The charges were later dropped when video evidence directly contradicted the story given by federal officers.”

Claiming “…it is all publicly and properly disclosed” does not mean it’s ethical.

To give you a sense of scale, 400,000 people are about twice the population of Salt Lake City and about 0.15% of the U.S. population

“A majority of this country does not believe [Trump] is honest and trustworthy and apparently if you believe he’s not honest and trustworthy, you’re not allowed to be in the Republican Party. …I’m sorry that there’s not any Republicans left with the guts to stand up.”

Somehow Trump’s Black Knight nemesis is still preventing ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

I want to know the name of the judge who presided over this. I want that judge’s name and email address public. I want people to be able to ask that judge what the fuck was wrong with him or her. /1

this new find was announced just today. it's in norwegian, but you can see the pic and maybe autotranslate if you want to read the text. it's a gold scabbard from the 6th century, thought to have been hidden in a rock crevice as a sacrifice, recently found by some guy who was out on a walk.

Insiders are endangering our military. If a former FTC official can spot these trades, so can America’s enemies “…accounts made dozens of winning bets on the specific dates of pivotal moments in the war with Iran, even when the odds were low…”

Your reminder that Christian Nationalists hold deep animosity towards the LDS religion. I wonder what the Utah congressional delegation, all LDS, have to say about this event funded in part by millions of $ from US taxpayers.

No one had a platform of open borders. No one.

Memphis Press-Scimitar, 21 December 1945. "[Gerald Smith] wants to preserve 'Christian Nationalism' without domination by the Jews or any other minority group. And he wants America First--with Mr. Smith leading the 'crusade.'"

Vein finders are revolutionizing patient care by using near-infrared light to map veins in real-time, reducing failed punctures and improving comfort.

There is still a significant core of Trump voters who have a deep faith in his omniscience regardless evidence otherwise.

“O’Leary also alleged again that China was behind organizing the protesters who have organized against the Box Elder data center plan.” When O’Leary shows he has no problem slandering data center opponents, what other misinformation has he been peddling?

“Studies have shown that when local news disappears, the cost to live in that community rises, corruption increases and civic engagement falls — because accountability reporting disappears.”

The thing with Cassidy — who is a gastroenterologist — is he has proven he knows better. His past statements on vaccines were grounded in science. But he voted to confirm RFK Jr in a cynical move to help save his own political career. Trump didn’t give a sh*t.

This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization." I talked to Jamie Raskin about this. It's even more corrupt than it first appears. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

Lee’s GOP gerrymandered southern states exactly how the KKK would do it.

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.” -Donald Trump

So much is unknown about Stratos but Chaffetz got his questions addressed 🙄 Sounds like he’s getting ahead of disclosures that he’s pretty involved with Stratos.

VC Defensa volunteer Leo Martinez woke up at 3am on Wednesday to federal agents breaking down his door to search his home — the latest escalation in the federal government's campaign to harass and intimidate people who patrol immigration enforcement operations www.huffpost.com/entry/federa...

“This paper examines the demography, social attitudes and religiosity of current and former Mormons to understand the dynamics of Utah's shifting religious landscape.”

Ryan Cragun: “Then I hit the sentence that made me stop and reread it twice: ‘Because many studies report null findings, this series focuses specifically on studies reporting statistically significant associations…’” 😬

I’m trying to stop using the term “dumbsh*t” but… Who knows what he discussed with Xi but Trump is so controlled by his narcissism he can’t keep a secret if he thinks his silence makes him look weak. If I was an adversary, I’d use that flaw to manipulate Trump to spill his guts. You know they do.

MIT and Berkeley educated Energy Secretary Chris Wright is not a stupid person. I’d follow the money to understand why he makes the decisions he does.

As a Democratic Party candidate running in a Red State, I have a list of these 70% issues - "You want to keep vote by mail? So do I." Then there is the GOP sponsored Kevin O'Leary and a proposed 9GW, 40,000 acre data center just north of the ailing Great Salt Lake.

Nonsense. ~70% of Americans agree on all kinds of things. The problem is our deeply antidemocratic institutions, which empower the 30% to control the government & regularly block all of the many policies favored by the 70%. That, & the fact that the GOP is now a far right authoritarian party.

Hypothesis: Hack wringing hands over government-provided diapers for poor people as an abuse of taxpayers has defended Trump’s ballroom Methodology: Search Conclusion: yeop

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

Last year Utah House of Rep. Speaker, Mike Schultz, bought a 640 acre parcel of land in Box Elder County about 3 miles from the northern boundary of the proposed Stratos project. Maybe a coincidence but we are talking about an area Gov Cox thought was perfect for Stratos because no one lives there.

Ironic considering the Supreme Court ruled racial proxies are A-okay for gerrymandering.

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

These are unacceptable answers

"... it is not clear what else Patel did..." seems to be a feature of every Patel trip.

The KC-135 and E-3 losses are not what I would have expected at the start of this war. Same for losing three F-15s to friendly fire.

none of these people actually want to be doing the job. they want to be celebrities

The comments do not disappoint 🤣

JD, you and Trump are the fleecing government.

“This felt personal” 😆
