This is bad for Utah. I disagree with many of Mitt's positions, but I ultimately think he's a good, decent, smart man with citizens' best interests at heart. I fear whoever takes his place will be more interested in their own fame and fortune ๐
Not surprised you don't understand how a woman's body works, but not all miscarriages magically expel from the body. Some require a procedure that Drs are now afraid to perform because they might end up in jail or lose their license.
Miscarriages arenโt abortions
IVF treatments arenโt abortions
Contraceptives arenโt abortions
Thereโs no circumstance in which these are illegal because of Dobbs
After more than 3 years of working with the

I will keep posting this pic in reference to this absurd bill. This is my son with 2 of his teammates, all 14 yrs old. Our kids play with and against kids of all shapes and sizes. It makes them all better athletes. This bill doesn't fix damage, it creates it .

Look,I know I'm just a woman, but that Utah patriarchy problem is too obvious to ignore. These council women were right to want solutions from a legislature who can't seem to get past their vendetta against...oh yes, you guessed it, other women in positions of power.
Utah House leaders tried to bully two councilwomen into reversing their votes to support a mask mandate and spare House members the vote to rescind requirements statewide. They refused.

Utah citizen here, Mike๐ if you're going to not do anything productive representing me for the remainder of your term, why don't you resign and let a grown up in the there who will get some actual work done.
I agree, Sim. We had Lt. Gov Cox on our show many times. We spoke on these issues often. I believe he was sincere, which makes it all the more disheartening to see this 180. I long for public servants who do the right thing reelection be damned.
Searching for Lt. Gov Cox.
You know the guy who sat down with queer & trans kids in a hallway 4 a photo op. & said he believed in them & would be there for them.
They believed him & we believed him because he was going to be a Gov one day for all of us.
This is a fantastic piece . Read it and understand how much Utah and the USA are losing by Mitt not running again. We're losing a principled public servant.
Hey Utah, your legislature wants to limit your constitutional right to expect that the ballot initiatives you vote for will be implemented the way you intended. They are trying to scare you with 'foreign influence". It's not a thing. Vote No in November
#BREAKING
: Here's the first look at the language of Amendment D proposing to change Utah's constitution on who can repeal citizen ballot initiatives.
A vote for the amendment means that you want Utah's Constitution to grant the legislature the ability to repeal any citizen-led
For those of you who would like to know a little bit more about my dad, he came up with 'Utah by 5, trust me' because he thought it was hilarious. You need a safety and a field goal to get that. Maybe magic will happen.

Bullsh**t, Trevor, saying you just "thought it was interesting "...do you find it interesting and post a video anytime you see a group of people walking down the street without an American flag?!?
After Trevor Leeโs post of a video of Utah Muslims observing Arbaโin, his followers piled on with anti-Muslim sentiment, calling Islam a โdemonic ideology" and saying the people should be sent back to where they came from.

What's in it for them, you ask, Mr Trump? My son was very clear about why he joined the Navy. It's quite simple, actually. He loves his family and the country they call home. Sacrificing time with his new wife to make a better life for his family.

Canโt express how disappointed I am with Gov. Herbertโs weak, mealy-mouthed response to the anti-mask protest at Dr. Dunnโs home.
He should have condemned it in the strongest possible terms and pledged to deploy UHP.
โNot the best use of their timeโ is an awful response.
Mike Lee is forever sucking up trying to get an invite to sit at the popular kids table. Utah deserves a Senator who spends 14 hrs a day doing the people's business.
Mark Meadows is an honest man, a dear friend, and a faithful public servantโtruly one of the most genuine and trustworthy people Iโve ever had the good fortune to work with. Lamentably, heโs being prosecuted for improper, politically motivated reasons. This is as bad for America
An audit of the Utah Department of Health found the agency appears "strongly influenced" by the federal government over the Utah Legislature and has been slow to implement recommendations made by state lawmakers.

This bill is so unnecessary. Vote by mail makes participation so easy for everyone, but if you want to vote in person or choose not to vote at all, you can do that now. The only reason to put forth this bill is to make things more difficult, not easier. Ask yourself who benefits.
BACKGROUND: It was August when I wrote about a Utah lawmaker's plan to require Utahn's to opt-in to voting by mail, meaning receiving a ballot wouldn't be automatic.

The people that think it's the right thing to do are already doing it. A mandate catches those who DON'T think it's the right thing to do, and makes them do it anyway.

A Grand Jury looked at the evidence and unanimously agreed there was enough there to pursue. Then the trial jury seated and vetted by both sides unanimously agreed guilty on all counts. Sounds pretty solid to me.
