Is it me, or are the few Utah dem legislators terrible at sending messages and debates? I never hear sound bites or spirited debate from them. The easy pickings are served up for them, and I hardly hear a peep.

Two Rivers Head Start is still dealing with the fallout from Trump's unconstitutional interruption of federal funding. They do the best with what they have, but chaos is impacting their staff and those they serve. These are real people whose lives Trump is playing games with.

Just brutal. What problem is the legislator actually solving with this? I hope ALL workers, union or not, take note. This is what your GOP reps think of you. They’ll Stomp on you and laugh while doing it.

The White House has to "check back" about whether or not they just shut off the program that funds health care for 2 million Arizonans? I can tell you the answer: Arizona's Medicaid payment portal has been turned off. This is absurd.

My congressman, Blake Moore, intentionally has his contact page error out for anybody attempting to email.Call him and his VM directs you to his website. Not surprised, still disappointing/angering. He’s hawking a town hall where his only topic is DOGE, meanwhile Fed funding has stopped for all USA

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

The US just revoked an executive order aimed at making EV sales 50% by 2030. “The US will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity,” Trump said. But China is already stomping the US in EV sales. This decision will widen the gap. Source: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Butker should step aside. Make his wife a sandwich. He should realize his life really started when he became a husband and a father. He should give up his day job. He should realize he’s been told diabolical lies — his place is in the home.
