Utah immigration court is struggling to meet the Trump admin’s stepped-up pace
In a courtroom he described as “severely understaffed,” one judge didn’t finish all the cases on his growing calendar, and immigrants are getting less time to find an attorney.

No, you're not going to need a VPN for your VPN. The judge noted that Utah's law was pretty vague and asked sites to do unfeasible things that would rope in out-of-state places.

Reflexively, a lot of people say ag is the problem child when we talk about #water in Utah, especially Great Salt Lake — *but*... it's a complex stew that also ropes in lawns, more people & the shifting climate.
kuer.org
Is the shrinking Great Salt Lake a climate problem, a farm problem or something else?
Agricultural water use usually gets the blame, but Utah data shows city water use now accounts for a record-high 25% of the water depleted from the Great Salt Lake Basin.

Can the humble swamp cooler still contend with Utah’s heat?
Swamp coolers use less electricity and are more often found in older homes. But they can only cool the air so much when the mercury climbs to triple digits.
