Mike, you voted to confirm Hegseth — maybe you should just call him and ask. Not everything needs to be rage-bait on twitter. You’re a fucking U.S. Senator. Get a grip.

Can anyone tell me why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was left out of the list of Christian churches?

Our highest and most urgent national priority should be AI safeguards. The risks of AI weapons, pathogens, mass unemployment, surveillance, and even extinction must not continue to be largely ignored.

There is some really bad reporting here. A project that cost $100 billion, and only yields ~ $100 million to local community is really bad math. Until Google, Meta, Blackstone show up, this is a Borat like skit. deseret.com/utah/2026/05/12/…

When people ask why I can’t support @NateForUtah, here’s one clear example beyond him being among the least impactful Democrats in the legislature.
It’s about honesty.

In the legislature, everyone knows: the 3rd reading vote is the one that counts. It’s the vote of record. The one in the history books.
Casting a protest vote on 2nd reading, then voting yes when it matters, is a way of having it both ways.
Voters deserve to know the difference.

Politics isn’t about what a politician says when they’re fundraising.
It’s about what they do when the vote is called.
Utah needs representatives who are honest about their record, especially when they’re asking for your money based on it.

The racism and xenophobia being directed at Liban Mohamed is not going to persuade Democrats to vote for someone else in the primary or independents in that district to vote for a Republican in November.

‼️SLC is conquered. A Muslim Somali named Liban Mohamed just won at the Utah Democratic state convention in a shocking upset for the newly created Congressional District 1 in Salt Lake City.
SLC is quickly becoming Minneapolis/Mogadishu.
Mohamed will be on the June Primary ballot with McAdams, Blouin, and Farrell, who all gathered enough signatures to get on the ballot.

🚨BREAKING: @derekkitchen ENDORSES @Liban4congress TODAY!
This comes after Kitchen was the first candidate to leave the race and not file as a candidate during this week’s congressional filing period.
Kitchen previously served on the Salt Lake City Council and was elected to the Utah State Senate in 2018, where he became one of the few openly LGBTQ legislators in America. He also served in the Biden Administration as Senior Vice President at the Export-Import Bank of the United States. He is also a small business owner, running a restaurant in Salt Lake City.

Democrat Liban Mohammed has officially qualified for the Democratic primary in Utah's 1st CD.
It's now a 4-way primary race with McAdams, Blouin and Farrell.
Eva Lopez Chavez is still 1002 signatures short.
Last day to verify signatures is tomorrow.

In the past 17 years, only two Utah legislators have introduced 10 bills in a single session but passed none of them: Trevor Lee and Blouin. Whether their inability to pass bills is related to the poor judgment alleged in recent headlines is left as an exercise for the reader.
