A complete failure of justice. The President should not be above crimes just because he's the former and future president. If anything, the standard should be raised because the president especially should not be above the law.

What's left of The Utah Compact lies in tatters and only stands to get worse as Gov. Cox falls in line with Trumpism, completely abandoning any sense of independence he showed during Trump's first term.

The America First crowd really doesn't seem to care all that much about all of their own "America First" chants. Must be because they're not actually interested in governing and only care about enriching their rich friends.

Since 2022, BYU has had faculty sign a "loyalty oath" stating that they agree with the church in marriage, family, & gender. It also carried an implicit threat of not advancing if it wasn't signed.

Is BYU really interested in preparing students, or just proselytizing?

Hey Utah, just so you're aware, Mike Lee is floating the idea of Musk/Ramaswamy as Speaker of the House.

It'd be a real shame if you called him at 801-524-5933 or 202-224-5444 and told him how stupid you think that idea is.

The man calling himself "co-president" wants you to believe that Democrats, being the minority party, are the reason the government will shut down tomorrow. In reality, it's because Republicans couldn't even get their own members to vote for this turd of a CR.

Republicans, not even officially in charge yet, are already eating their own because some members of their party think that shutting down the government is a bad idea. What a lovely prelude of what's to come.

So, just in case everyone is curious what Utah Senator Mike Lee is up to: He's evidently spending some of his time asking AI to create fanfiction for him. Surely the best use of time by someone who is constantly complaining that no one in DC does anything.

Continuing the trend of Republican Senators not understanding basic functions of our democracy, we have Josh Hawley blaming immigrants for stagnant wages.

What he doesn't want you to know is he's voted against raising the federal minimum wage.

Yes, Mike Lee, Hegseth believing that the US military should act as a tool for the furtherence of religion is disqualifying. You see, there's this whole thing about separation of church and state, you'd know about that if you actually were qualified for your job!

Hey, see something you like or might need to buy on the image below?

Computers, cars, oil, tomatoes or maybe even beer?

Well, trump's new tarrifs are about to make all of those 25% more expensive.
