Wut.

5 things I did last week: 1. Drove 4 hrs to celebrate my kids’ dad’s (my ex) dad’s 75th bday. 2. Took 4 depositions in a federal civil rights case. 3. Single-mom’d 5 at home, inc. my special needs son (he only eloped from the house twice). 4. Took a college trip with my senior. 5. Dang - only 4.

Who knows who the judge is?

Mormons aren’t going to save the Constitution — women are. #Sassoon #Mills #Mayes #utpol www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2PwD6ou/

“Illegal as hell.” I love America. We need all new elected leaders because the ones we have are not getting it.

“We are the federal law.”

BREAKING: A Ninth Circuit panel DENIES the Trump administration’s request to limit the nationwide scope of a Seattle court’s injunction that blocks Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. The panel included two Republican appointees, and one Democratic appointee

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

This is disgusting. Our government is doing this to families serving this country and our “pro-family” Utah leadership who chose to follow Trump remains silent. They should be ashamed. I hope they can’t sleep at night. I hope their own kids look at them in disgust. #utpol

Gov. Spencer Cox. You chose wrong.

Winning. My 16-year-old son:

Update on Sec. 504 case: It is stayed as per the EO on “Defending Women From Gender Ideology ” while they confer. New DOJ will likely capitulate to what states want regarding transgender rules and Title IX, and case will be dismissed. #utpol

Every Utah GOP elected should be condemning this and doing everything possible to stop it. This is our DOJ? What a travesty. #utpol

Wish we had elected officials with this courage and these principles here in Utah. #utpol

Lol ok.

I’m so glad the GOP saved women’s sports. I knew they were looking out for us. #NIL

Will any Utah GOP leaders step up and speak out against this shameful and obviously unconstitutional Executive Order? What a dearth of leadership. #utpol 🦗🦗🦗

Don’t worry ladies. My last name is the same as on my birth certificate - so I’ll still be able to vote and I’ll represent us. Just let me know how you think I should vote and I’ll do a real good job. 💪

Is Vance still around?

The US government does not recognize this message. Progress, and basic science, be damned. Why recognize women when we can just keep pretending they don’t exist?

The Mormons will not be saving the Constitution. Just look at Utah’s government and all of our federal electeds. They are complicit. #utpol

Didn’t this happen in Harry Potter?

Utah AG Derek Brown, who used to serve as Board Chair of the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind Education Foundation, is now suing to dismantle Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the ADA, which protects against discrimination against deaf, blind, and all disabled people. #utpol

ATTN: Utah will join every RAGA-sponsored lawsuit out there. I warned you. #utpol

2nd nationwide injunction on unconstitutional executive order trying to end birthright citizenship.

Utah AG Derek Brown appointed Tyler Green (partner at Consovoy McCarthy) to his transition team to consult on how to run the office. Tyler’s review of office practices and budgets must have concluded an imperative to keep hiring his own firm. #utpol

He seems to be DEI. I can’t tell. Let’s fire him just to be careful.

Utah GOP decide their own idea - spearheaded/enacted by chair Thomas Wright in 2013 - has resulted in fraudulent elections, which elected them to an overwhelming supermajority, and want to change the uber-popular vote-by-mail system. 🤡 #utpol www.deseret.com/politics/202...

Utah AG Derek Brown should be embarrassed, ashamed, and laughed out of every courtroom in Utah. #utpol

Utah. Utah opposes birthright citizenship. Because families. And Jesus. And the Constitution. #utpol

So Mike Lee has people telling him what to say again? Too bad it isn’t anyone holding a Constitution. #utpol

At least they aren’t focused on red states. Oh wait … #utpol
