This entire nominating commission should be disbanded. I’m embarrassed for them. And outraged. The Utah Supreme Court had a female majority for the first time in 2022. The Legislature then passed at least 2 bills affecting the makeup of the Sup Ct; we are now back to a male majority. #utpol

Today, Dem Senators Plumb and Blouin (and the Republicans, of course) voted in favor of stripping voters of their right to be represented by independent, nonpartisan legislators (should they be elected to the Utah Legislature) in the case of a midterm vacancy, and instead let the GOP appoint. #utpol

Not surprised our first felon president violates international and domestic law by invading a sovereign country for its oil. I am surprised at the lack of action by Congress who have shirked their duties and handed over their power. Both parties are feckless. Vote. Them. All. Out.

As @michellequist.bsky.social sees it, the Utah Forward Party has a chance to show voters how a third -party member can represent constituents “as opposed to being wedded to party politics.”
buff.ly
The Forward Party of Utah has a new senator. Can they hold on in 2026?
Emily Buss will serve out the remainder of Sen. Daniel Thatcher’s term in the Utah Legislature. Originally a Republican, Thatcher joined the Forward Party in March.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean  “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
