Huge confirmation for rule of law and Justice in Utah. Immediately worth a follow, U.S. Attorney Holyoak is a superstar. Former FTC commissioner. Former @HamLincLaw attorney. And of course former Utah Solicitor General. Amazing pick
It is an honor to serve as the United States Attorney for the District of Utah. I am grateful to President Trump and the United States Senate for trusting me to lead this outstanding office and work closely with our federal, state, tribal, and local partners, in my home state. I look forward to continuing the work to ensure the safety of our citizens and uphold the rule of law.

Gov. Newsom said the deepfake election ad ban was needed to “safeguard the integrity of our elections." But it was probably because the Left can't meme - at least, not as good as this. legalinsurrection.com/2025/0…

We challenged this, arguing the funds can—and should—be distributed to the class.
