The “world’s greatest negotiator” is realizing he agreed to hand over control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran. Methinks he’s a bit out of his depth.

Trump Tacos on Iran. Armageddon averted for two weeks.

The NY Times has an astonishing report of how Netanyahu and Israel duped Donald Trump into going to war with Iran. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

Utah is about to dox its voters. SB153 puts "private" records back on public rolls starting next month. Election fraud conspiracy theorists are to thank. Read more: utahpolitics.news/utah-is-abou...

🧵 1/ Background: In 2021, Robinson was accused of creating a "toxic, bullying culture" when he was the volunteer communications director for the Salt Lake County GOP. After news stories detailing the allegations, party chair Scott Miller resigned, and Robinson was removed or pushed out of his role.

This is clearly a threat to use nuclear weapons. Nothing else can destroy a whole civilization. Congratulations, MAGA. This is what you voted for.

Two Utah Democratic legislative incumbents came up short on signatures. Now they need at least 45% support from delegates at Saturday's Salt Lake County convention, or they're done. Read more: utahpolitics.news/primary-fate...

Dear U2, Not to nitpick, but it was actually early evening, April 4.

Utah's Forward Party just chose "No Candidate" in the new 1st Congressional District, meaning January Walker, who previously ran for Congress in 2022 and 2023, is off the ballot. The party is also skipping the race in HD3. Read more: utahpolitics.news/utah-forward...

Pam Bondi is out as attorney general, and Trump allies are floating Utah Sen. Mike Lee for the job. That’s happening the same week a report branded Lee the GOP’s “most despised” senator over his SAVE Act push. Read more: utahpolitics.news/gop-senators...

I put on my "Politics Knower" hat and said some stuff about Utah's political arena on KRCL's Radio Active yesterday. Listen at the link: krcl.org/blog/legisla...

Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi today. Utah Sen. Mike Lee was considered a frontrunner to be AG when Trump took office last year. Could he be in the running again? utahpolitics.news/what-would-h...

Trump is telling on himself here. Bruce Springsteen is selling out stadiums across the globe. He's been doing it since I was a toddler. Trump is a needy, bottomless pit of jealousy who wishes he had that kind of popularity. Grandpa needs a nap.

When I was a young boy, I was obsessed with the space program and NASA. As an adult, the mystery and majesty of space exploration are dulled quite a bit when you read the phrase "space toilet catastrophe."

Since today is April Fool's, my natural distrust of others is ratcheted up to a level bordering on the psychotic.

The Utah GOP's one-year registration rule was supposed to stop party switchers. But one word may have accidentally created an escape hatch—and the Salt Lake County GOP used it to reverse a decision that would have kept some candidates off the ballot. Full story 👇 utahpolitics.news/salt-lake-co...

I caught the strangest bird on my birdbath camera yesterday.

I’m Kristi Noem, and I approve this message

Trump is BIG MAD a judge stopped his ballroom project

Oh, my...

The average price for a gallon of gas is now over $4, the highest it's been since 2022. Make America Great Again, amirite?!! 🇺🇸

You just know that this will be the thing that lawmakers will use as an excuse for avoiding making hard choices to address our water issues. I'm so tired...

Utah's new congressional map created 2.1 million "orphaned voters" whose 2024 incumbent won't appear on their 2026 ballot. Celeste Maloy is technically an incumbent, but she only kept 40% of her old voters under the new map. Exclusive analysis: utahpolitics.news/utahs-new-co...

Inbox: Dave Robinson, who is running for the GOP nomination in Utah's 1st Congressional District, announces he's switching from collecting signatures to "convention only." Translation: He realized he's not going to be able to get the 7k signatures required, and this is an attempt to save face.

Went to see Hadestown today (Spoiler). At the climax of the show, when Orpheus was almost out of the underworld and turned around to see if Eurydice was following him, which broke the rules and send her back to Hades, some kid in the audience loudly yelled, “What?!!” Live theater rules!

Rep. Celeste Maloy is on the board in the signature-gathering race to secure a spot on the CD3 GOP primary ballot. She needs to collect 5551 more. Former state Rep. Phil Lyman is still sitting at zero. Deadline is April 10.

🇺🇸 USA! USA! USA!

Utah Republicans say the signature removal campaign that knocked the Prop. 4 repeal off the ballot thwarted the will of the voters. 📊 The numbers tell a very different story. Read more: utahpolitics.news/less-than-5-...

Gotta say, President Trump isn’t looking too good these days.

It’s becoming abundantly clear that I am not to be trusted with Pop-Tarts.

The conservative Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Database found only 68 cases of noncitizen voting since the 1980s. Sen. Lee knows that instances of noncitizen voting in the U.S. are extremely rare, but he continues to say this because he thinks you're stupid.

Signature removals sink the GOP-led effort to repeal Utah's anti-gerrymandering law. What's next? utahpolitics.news/signature-re...

A Salt Lake County audit gives the Prop. 4 repeal campaign a lifeline by putting 168 signatures back on the petition. It may only be temporary. SD15 needs just 69 more removals to knock the repeal initiative off November's ballot. Read more: utahpolitics.news/audit-voids-...

What's that you say? You wish you could see a picture of Rep. Trevor Lee as a teenager sitting with what is clearly a fake dog? Well, here you go! You're welcome!

Dan Hauser w̶h̶o̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶v̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶a̶s̶t̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶S̶e̶n̶.̶ ̶M̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶L̶e̶e̶'̶s̶ ̶t̶a̶i̶n̶t̶ who is Sen. Mike Lee's political adviser, is crashing out on Twitter after the right-wing Sutherland Institute said Lee's SAVE Act "violates the spirit of the Constitution."

Flashback to one year ago when I published this story about GOP Sen. Todd Weiler being caught on a recording saying the quiet part out loud: that Utah legislative leaders won't give me a press pass because they want to show me "who's the boss." utahpolitics.news/utah-gop-sen...

The Utah GOP passed a rule to make sure only "real Republicans" ran for office. Now, it could boot a convention-only Republican candidate for State School Board from the race, handing the nomination to her signature-gathering opponent. Read more: utahpolitics.news/utah-gop-rul...

Remember when people lost their jobs because they were insufficiently mournful when Charlie Kirk died?

I’d really like to go see Project Hail Mary, but I don’t want a side of measles exposure with my popcorn. Guess I’ll wait until it’s available on demand.

Today’s shirt perfectly captures my mood…

Let’s play ”spot the AI” with this photo posted by the Tooele County Republican Party. Two of the hands holding flags in the back aren’t connected to a person, and the flags have only 47 stars. Do better…

The Prop. 4 repeal is hanging by a thread. A signature-removal blitz could sink the GOP-backed repeal of Utah's anti-gerrymandering law. SD15 lost 118 more signatures, leaving a 114 signature cushion. One more day like this and it misses the ballot. Read more: utahpolitics.news/one-more-bad...

Republicans need to hit signature targets in 26 of Utah's 29 state Senate districts to put the Prop. 4 repeal on the November ballot—and they're barely hanging on. The effort is one bad week away from falling apart. youtube.com/shorts/JesGm...

Today’s shirt makes me laugh.

Utah's Prop. 4 repeal effort is hanging by a thread. Opponents are stripping signatures—and a few razor-thin Senate districts could decide whether it makes November’s ballot. See which districts are most at risk: utahpolitics.news/prop-4-repea...

Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz runs to his favorite trash conspiracy-mongering website to give them the exclusive news that he's endorsing Karianne Lisonbee for Congress. Will this make more of an impact than his endorsement of Brad Wilson for U.S. Senate in 2024? Remains to be seen.

I’d keep quiet about genetics if I were you, Adolf.
