The GOP’s Utah redistricting power-play might be its most egregious yet. Not because the most seats are at stake — only one is at stake in Utah. But because of the lengths it goes to put raw political advantage ahead of respect for the will of voters. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/thi...

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

Utah! Let's show up Monday morning! Demand fair maps! September 22, 2025 in Salt Lake City at the Utah Capitol building. Room 120 in the Senate building, on the east side.

NYT at the Kirk memorial: "Kyle Rittenhouse, who was embraced by the right after fatally shooting two people during protests in Wisconsin in 2020, posed for photos."

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

The men who are calling for civil war, for the military to attack their enemies, for summary execution of liberals or Democrats - THEY DO NOT ABHOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE. They were not pushed into this. They WANT violence, and are seizing every opportunity to agitate for violence.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Pritzker should order state police to follow ice around and arrest them when they break state law

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

Literally everyone is responding to this with such naivete. It's not the pee tape (and never was). It's not Epstein. Putin has used Trump to destroy every aspect of the United States that he loathed: rule of law, free market, human rights.

Read this in @schotthappens.com Utah Political Watch newsletter. Utah’s court case is languishing. I think our justices are blowing it by taking so long to decide. New maps should’ve already been redrawn. Texas republicans power grab isn’t helping. #utpol utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/08/08/l...

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth. It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY. She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker. Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organization

LA Times - Several communities in Los Angeles County have called off or postponed their previously scheduled Independence Day and July events, citing resident safety amid ongoing immigration enforcement raids.

Letter: As a Minnesotan I say to Utahns: Mike Lee is an immoral man. You have a moral responsibility to remove him from office.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Just to be clear: the President has mobilized the Marines on American soil because people are protesting masked, secret police kidnapping people with no due process and shipping them to foreign death camps. It’s not a misunderstanding or an oversight. That is all it is. There is no other side.

Hey, ICE and other federal employees. NO ONE can give you permission to commit crimes in violation the Constitution, and NO ONE can protect you from the consequences if you do. We will prosecute you now or eventually, and you will suffer the consequences. Those consequences will be severe.

Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts. Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations. But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people. See how this works?

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.

Letter: The lieutenant governor must honor the district maps of the independent committee. Then Utah will start looking like a democracy and not a supermajority autocracy.

Republicans need a come to Jesus moment. Read the room. Their base is going to die with Medicaid and Social Security and federal job are cuts. This is a country with 400 million guns. Luigi Mangione is seen as a hero by many Americans. What do they think is going to happen?

The former head of the Social Security Administration says he expects the agency to miss on some payments over the next three months, interrupting some people's benefits, for the first time in Social Security's history of eight decades: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Promoting diversity is not a crime.

There are two immutable facts when it comes to Trump. 1. Every accusation is a confession 2. Every wild assertion is a distraction Gaz-a-Lago is a distraction from the coup underway within our federal government, led by Oligarch Musk.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

If you see this quote with flowers from your gallery. 🌱

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The Trump administration is not setting the course for a four-year term. The Trump administration is setting the course for an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

BREAKING: President Biden awards Liz Cheney with the Presidential Citizens medal, the second-highest award. Standing ovation for the role she played on the Jan 6th Committee.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

What happened to freedom of speech?

So Luigi Mangione could just run for president and have the charges dropped if he wins, is that how it works?

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

ProPublica reports that a third woman died because of Texas’s abortion ban www.propublica.org/article/pors...

Republicans in states with extreme abortion bans are now trying to cover up the DEATHS of women that died because of their extreme abortion bans.

A Texas Woman Died After the Hospital Said It Would be a “Crime” to Intervene in Her Miscarriage Josseli is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.
