If you’re feeling down on yourself, just remember that you passed as many bills in 2026 as Trevor Lee.

The invasion of Venezuela was before the Olympic Truce began.

However, this weekend’s bombings are definitely in violation.

Yes. This is one of several big storylines.

Utah First is actually the reason the former University CU had to change their name the second time. Utah First filed a claim against them for trade name infringement because people got Utah First and UFirst Credit U confused.

They changed their name to Utah First Credit Union in 1996.

They aren’t nearly as big, not so they spend the advertising money, of some of the other credit unions.

According to their web site, Utah First Credit Union opened in 1935 as the Utah German American Credit Union. In 1937, they changed their name to Utah C.V. Credit Union. The “C.V.” was for Chemnitzer (a city in the eastern part of Germany) Vereinigung (German for unification).

That’s especially rich, since Todd’s district is the most in-doubt of any Republican-led district.

It would be rich if they get 25 districts, and the 4 they miss are Blouin, Pitcher, Reibe, and Todd.

It’s still America First Credit Union. I literally just saw their name/logo on the hockey game I am watching.

No. I’m actually kinda mad that he passed that law to make it official, because that’s how we always could tell if someone online belonged here or not. It’s a written version of having someone pronounce Tooele or Hurricane.

Apparently, they didn’t have apartments over storefronts on his mission in Chile.

They were originally supposed to possibly launch 13 days ago. Even before that date was scratched, they had early March as the next go. So basically, the headline is “NASA is still on schedule.”

I believe I read last month that WGU planned to renovate the existing building, build additional structures, and mover their HQ from Millcreek to downtown.

Meanwhile, we have actual on the ground groups local working to stop the repeal, namely BURRN, Better Boundaries, and Elevate.

I don’t know why Cox and Holland felt they needed to get involved, but I’m sure the 6-figure dark money funds helped.

The weird, shadowy group that hired AMT is headed by Fred Cox and Nick Holland. Fred was head of Utah AFL-CIO when they started endorsing Republicans in close races against Dems. Last I remember seeing him, Nick was helping his dad revive Rob Miller’s political career. /1

The RNC, Utahns for Representative Government, and Utah Republican Party are going to soon discover that Utah has not only civil but criminal penalties for Defamation of Character. #utpol

We have the upper hand. In 3 weeks, we will know exactly which Senate districts to target withdrawal efforts in (we will already be targeting some). We will also know exactly who to target.

If they have 200,000 signatures, that means over half of the signers have 45 days to remove their name.

Their level of desperation, especially in the last few days, tells me that they may have the 140,000+, but they probably don’t — or just barely — have the threshold in all 26 districts they need to get.

There is a drive that is just getting ramped up to help people remove signatures. 1/

Ted Nugent didn’t just sign about pedophilia. He has openly admitted to multiple sexual relationships with girls.

Everyone, especially politicians, ESPECIALLY REPUBLICANS IN 2026 should have been running far away from him. Yet they welcomed him with open arms.

The @utahgop.bsky.social is so desperate to repeal Prop 4 so they can gerrymander that they are having admitted pedophile Ted Nugent collect signatures them. #familyvalues anyone?

This reminds me of when the Jazz had an extended layover in New York City (playing the Knicks and Nets with several off day in between) and were staying in Little Italy. Most of the players went to one of the many authentic Italian restaurants near the hotel. One player went to Olive Garden.
