None of what MAGA is offering is sustainable. It's all lies, rage, misinformation, hate, snake oil, and a romantic dream of a past that never existed being sold by corrupt grifters. It won't last. But so much shall be damaged in the meantime. Alas, this is America - always self-destructive.

So much for protecting women's sports. This anti DEI law is a grift.

We unite our coalition by making sure everyone’s at the table.

As DNC Chair, our leadership team will lift up our full coalition—with Black, Latino, Native, AANHPI, LGBTQ, Youth, Interfaith, Ethnic, Rural, Veteran, and Disability representation.

AOC has raised over $90,000 in the past 24 hours for those impacted by the LA wildfires.

Scenes from today’s Public Lands Rally at the UT State Capitol 🎉 I’m deeply grateful to do work I believe in at @protectwildutah.bsky.social - which feels both very scary & very invigorating right now. And I firmly believe public lands are worth the fight. We’ve got many fights ahead - bring it on.

“Disability lobby” what a pathetic little man

But then he wouldn't be able to take "bold" action according to the Roberts Court, like blowing off term limits and birthright citizenship and putting Americans in camps 🫡🇺🇸

Trump sentenced to unconditional discharge in hush-money case Story by Kayla Epstein and Madeline Halpert - • 10h

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.

Exclusive: Gov. Cox calls on Trump administration to remove ICE obstacles to deportations Story by Brigham Tomco • 4d

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.

Dark Days: New rules have BYU professors running scared

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?

I stand by this picture from 2019 when Senator Mike Lee voted AGAINST the 9/11 bill (along with Rand Paul). It passed 97-2.

But after Senator Lee just declared war on Social Security, I KNOW I picked the WRONG finger!😡

Look, you might be tired of seeing @blutah.com, thats fair (a boy gotta promote his stuff tho so sorry)

But don't ignore this one. As we go into Trump 2.0: Dumber & Eviler, outlets like HCN are going to be vital for holding the line on so many environmental and social issues.

Go chuck a buck to em

Love this graphic from Voices for Utah Children. There is so much good that our state and lawmakers can do for our public schools instead of siphoning off money to send kids to private schools. #utpol

Would you be happy with either Speaker Ramaswamy or Speaker Musk?

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.

For someone who fancies himself the "co-president" you'd think he'd bother to learn that the majority doesn't need the minority to pass bills.

A super fair & simple bill was put to a vote and only 2 Democrats in Congress were in favor. Therefore, responsibility for the shutdown rests squarely on the shoulders of @RepJeffries.

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.

#utpol #WelcomeToBlutah

The biggest form of election fraud is when you vote for Rs and out pops D policy results. Truer words have never been spoken👇

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.

I asked Grok to draw me I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but it looks like I’m speaking to two Elons and a Vivek Based @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy

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.

The Democrats are confused as to why working people’s wages have flatlined. Answer: it’s because they let 15 MILLION illegals into the country to take American jobs and benefits

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.

Mike for context he doesn't even believe that you're a Christian

And neither do I but that's because of who you are as a person, not your sect

Really, we ought to stop resetting it. It very rarely seems to ever get passed 1 day.

So now @PeteHegseth is too “aggressively” Christian? This is headline reeks of religious bigotry Apparently Politico is apparently just fine with week-kneed Christianity But if you start to believe too “aggressively” in your faith, they’ll call you unfit to serve

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!

Since my election, it has become more & more apparent that one of the most critical functions needed in a supermajority state is accountability & transparency. Playing games with appointments, particularly to a committee like Records, is unacceptable.
