Trump claims China pays his tariffs, but the Kiel Institute found that Americans shoulder 96 percent of the cost. Foreigners only pay 4 percent. Under Trump, America First just means American families pay first. #CantAffordTrump

Letter: Siccing ICE on Minneapolis is part of Trump’s retribution against all who have opposed him
After the tragic shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, ICE tactics have come under increased scrutiny. News reports show a 56% majority opinion that the shooting was inappropriate and 26% saying it was justified. Speaker Mike Johnson said ICE is doing what it was designed to do.

Holy cow, Utah, it’s time to move into action! 🐮 Ballots are due by 8pm Tuesday. If you still have yours, don’t drop it in the mail. Take it to a drop box or vote in person instead. Be utterly responsible and help herd your friends to the polls. It’s our future! 🐄🗳️

Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have shut down the government for weeks now because they refuse to come to the table and negotiate to protect Americans’ healthcare coverage. They need to stop the shutdown and protect our healthcare.
Protect Healthcare. Stop the Shutdown.

Because of the Republican shutdown, Utah families will stop receiving SNAP benefits on November 1st. This will literally take food off the tables of almost 90,000 Utah families, all because Trump and congressional Republicans won’t come to the table to negotiate.

I really rebel against this idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you’re constantly focused on scoring hits against one another. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong, and you can be kind. -Jacinda Ardern

The Utah GOP have officially given up on their pathetic last-ditch effort to create chaos and repeal Proposition 4 through an indirect initiative. Read Chair Brian King’s full statement.
“Today’s news is an embarrassing end to a pathetic last-ditch effort by the Utah GOP to create chaos and repeal Proposition 4 through an indirect initiative. Even with millions of dollars, the backing of Donald Trump, Jr., and support from high-profile elected Utah Republicans, they realized they still didn’t have the competence nor the public support to pull this off. The Utah Republican Party may continue to try to ignore the will of the voters next year using other tricks. But Utahns will continue to see through the corruption, abuse of power, and overall disrespect. We will be there to support everyday Utahns when it is time for that particular fight, but today we celebrate another win for voters.”

For the first time ever, official gov websites are using partisan language to explain a shutdown. That’s not politics—it’s a hostage crisis. 35,000 Utahns are going without pay while our delegation plays games. End the shutdown. #utpol #shutdown #EndTheShutdown

Unlike the Utah GOP, we're encouraging Utahns to participate and share their voices, not coaching them on which map would advantage us. This isn't about fairness or following the law, this is about Republicans admitting they're terrified of competitive districts where voters actually have a choice.

Register as a Democrat

"If we want to stand up for Utah vlues, protect our democracy, and deliver common-sense solutions, we need Democrats to be loud, proud, and united in our own ranks." - Chair Brian King

Vote.Utah.govWe all know many Democrats who register as Republicans to try to mitigate the harshness and extremity of the majority party. I understand the temptation. But I grow more convinced that if that was ever effective, it no longer is. Even relatively moderate and principled Republicans, with few exceptions, end up enabling and facilitating Trump and his allies’ authoritarian efforts. Having some input at Republican caucuses, conventions, and primaries simply is not stemming the tide. Republicans point to registration numbers as justification to ignore Utahns who disagree with them. It’s time to take that excuse away. If we want to stand up for Utah values, protect our democracy, and deliver common-sense solutions, we need Democrats to be loud, proud, and united in our own ranks. Only one of our two major parties is committed to standing up for common sense interests for all Utahns instead of concentrated power and wealth for the few.

We are grateful to Chair King for offering the closing prayer at today’s vigil. In moments of tragedy, it’s powerful to see people come together across party lines. Violence has no place in our politics, and we remain committed to building a future rooted in respect, peace, and care for one another.
