🤮 Cox sent his housing henchman Steve Waldrip to Wasatch County to tell them if they oppose a new luxury housing development that he will cut off road funding (which is illegal). Such hypocricy www.kpcw.org/wasatch-coun...

On brand. I remember Stuart Adams telling Donavan Mitchell know he needed to get educated on Black history. Our leaders never cease to disappoint.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

Mitt Romney is back (sort of)
Since retiring in early 2025, Mitt Romney avoided national politics — until his old friend Susan Collins needed help.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

These two assholes are having a conversation like things are just totally normal with ICE and all we need is to have some administrative recommendations on improved training and standard operating procedures. “How can we fix the Gestapo” is a ridiculous tack. ICE must be abolished.

CBP has been turned into an enemy to the US constitution, law, and basic humanity. I signed as an alumnus but even if you did not attend BYU consider signing if any of your donations ultimately support the school.

I signed, as a BYU alum and former staff member and a Minnesotan currently living under siege. This is disgusting and tone deaf and a low bar even for an institution in which I thought I had already lost all faith. They allow this because they agree with the narrative. The apostles are on the board.

man defiantly holding US flag while wearing protective gear, surrounded by tear gas & flares. the image is the same as above but wider to show more of the crowd plus a street sign.

Trump won't be impeached and he won't be removed from office. We're all going to be forced to watch in horror as he completely destroys America's standing in the world, its economy, and the stability of the world order. There's nobody that's going to step in to stop this. No one can.

From my article on Thursday predicting Trump would use economic sanctions to pressure Denmark to sell Greenland. The other is from today. It's unfolding pretty much as I envisioned.

Drop the t and change Iran with ICE and the whole things makes sense. Governor Walz: The ICE regime is killing peaceful protesters and must be held accountable. He called the crackdown a global threat and slammed the regime's terror ties and censorship.

Spent the last few days in Ukraine where the security forces are heavily armed, but polite and under control. I never had the slightest worry that they would shoot an unarmed person at close distance and celebrate it.

As an LDS member I was trained to be a peacemaker, to moderate my words, to try and find common ground and in the words of my governor, to disagree better. But, it this case, saying, Fuck ICES, Fuck Noem, Fuck Miller, Fuck Trump seems moderate and appropriate

Yes, but what are you going to do about it? Appear on more talk shows, perhaps express strong concern? Somehow you believe that there is some constitutional norms that will save us - nah, you need to go back to the drawing board and find ways to resist and exert power to stop this fascist
