Within the first chapter of 107 the reason for the election loss became clear—they wanted to preserve Biden's legacy. A willingness to break with Biden as necessary, even if that meant throwing him under the bus, would have been required to win.

Until the state GOP accepts that all voters should be heard and not just party delegates I will support anyone who is standing up to them. The party is currently an enemy to government by the people. #UTPOL

As I heard about the "prayer" by Sec. Hegseth I thought of this: "he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me…this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away." 3 Nephi 11:29-30

"{Utah Republican Party chair Rob} Axson has argued Prop 4, and the legal precedent it created, removed redistricting authority from accountable elected representatives." Dear Rob, our elected #UTGOP representatives are fighting tooth and nail to be unaccountable—that's exactly why we need Prop 4.

"Better Boundaries told signers they had signed 'a pro-gerrymandering petition' … GOP officials said this characterization was misleading." The problem for GOP officials is that #utleg already demonstrated that their reason for the Prop 4 repeal is to allow then to gerrymander.

It is time for those of us who believe in the American ideal—where the Constitution is binding even upon the President and whatever party currently holds a congressional majority—to rededicate ourselves to the unfinished work that the capitol police preserved for the day on #Jaunary6th

David Miller 🇺🇸 🗽 @davidmiller.federate.social.ap.brid.gy · 06/01/2026

The Civil War took a little over 4 years to be officially resolved but 5 years after #January6th it feels like we have not even reached our Gettysburg in this war for the soul of America.

David Miller 🇺🇸 🗽 @davidmiller.federate.social.ap.brid.gy · 06/01/2026

When America has been attacked by foreign adversaries (Pearl Harbor, 9/11) Americans rallied together and acted decisively against the threat but the Civil War and #January6th both set us against each other and even from the Civil War some wounds still fester.

Apparently I'm not the first to think of this (although my version is simpler and avoids a bunch of rematches) youtu.be/eDN3jnJQ4AE?si=zv4vzjVUcSH…

David Miller 🇺🇸 🗽 @davidmiller.federate.social.ap.brid.gy · 04/12/2025

This year that would be: Oregon Ole Miss A&M Oklahoma Notre Dame Miami Texas Vanderbilt. Pair them up in NFL stadiums based on geography and avoiding rematches as much as possible. Any school opting out is excluded from the CFP that year (and replaced by the next highest ranked willing team).

David Miller 🇺🇸 🗽 @davidmiller.federate.social.ap.brid.gy · 04/12/2025

This levels the playing field between: • No doubt teams playing 13 games (Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia) • Teams getting in with only 12 games (Oregon, Ole Miss, Notre Dame) • Teams not getting a chance to prove they belong because they missed the conference championship (Miami, Texas, Vanderbilt)

David Miller 🇺🇸 🗽 @davidmiller.federate.social.ap.brid.gy · 02/12/2025

Frankly, I think it's nonsense to leave out any team that goes 11-1 playing a Power 4 schedule in favor of any 10-2 (or 9-3) team. The only way an 11-1 (regular season) Power 4 team should ever be left out is if there are too many of them in a given year to fit in the 5 guaranteed conference […]

PSA for US news consumers: a 90-day tariff de-escalation is not "a landmark trade deal." It's equivalent to a temporary cease fire—it has no long term value unless and until it leads to a more durable resolution. Reporting otherwise is click bait. You're welcome.

The claim by #POTUS47 that this first quarter economic contraction wasn't his fault because "I wasn't President until January 20th" is pathetic. (very on brand for him) You were president for 72 of the 91 days in the quarter (79%) but blame it on the guy who was president for 20 days.

I saw an article headline along the lines of "Trump announces new name for Veterans Day" (no point linking to the article) and my first reaction was "is it now Gulf of America Day?" #POTUS47 is a world class and historic embarrassment to the nation he claims he wants to make great again.
