Sens. Lee and Curtis question new Pentagon designation for Latter-day Saints.
Sens. Mike Lee and John Curtis questioned why the term "Christian" was left off of the designation for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes referred to as "Mormon." | By @SuzeBates
Under new military guidance from Pete Hegseth, the LDS Church is officially classified as a non-Christian religion.
My fellow Saints, you can love these Christian nationalists all you want, but they will not love you back.

Our highest and most urgent national priority should be AI safeguards. The risks of AI weapons, pathogens, mass unemployment, surveillance, and even extinction must not continue to be largely ignored.
Square footage is totally irrelevant. What matters is tons of CO2 and acre-feet of water. Give us hard numbers and those and we’ll talk. https://t.co/euECHBQ7s0
If the way to increased fertility is less gender equality then fertility will - and should - lose. The whole fertility panic is basically a rebellion against gender equality
New study: Although "public support for gender equality increased in most countries, it stagnated in the global population as a whole."
Why? "We attribute part of the stagnation in global public support for gender equality to demographically induced compositional effects"
1) "fertility is higher in countries where average support for gender equality is lower"
2) "fertility is higher and occurs earlier among women w less egalitarian views"
We’re only in this mess because college sports raked in 100s of millions and the actual athletes got a pittance of it. (Often not even graduating.) Now rather than cut the players a little larger share we’re suddenly in need of many millions more and the whole thing is ruined.
Please, @AOC stay in the House for the next 30 years. Get a committee chairmanship and ruthlessly cross examine cheaters and charlatans of both parties. I don’t know NY politics that well but I think challenging Schumer would fail and US won’t elect a Hispanic woman POTUS.
AOC says she’s undecided on her next steps: “I look at what's happening in the country and I make my decisions from there, but no, I don't have anything set in stone for sure.”
Big news about the news: Starting TOMORROW you’ll be able to access the @sltrib free of charge. It will be an invaluable resource for ALL of the community, thanks to the generous donors who made it possible.

Defense is obligated to use every tool in the kit if they think it helps their client. But the public interest here is clearly for this trial to be as open as possible. Every dark corner will become a conspiracy theory generator - whether he’s convicted or not.
A judge says courtroom cameras can keep rolling in the case against the man accused of shooting Charlie Kirk, despite defense concerns over intense media attention. https://t.co/72eIlSetnA
I’ve heard from a lot of Utahns over the past week about the proposed data center project in Box Elder County. Many are asking questions about water, air quality, energy, land use, and the long-term impact on rural Utah. Those are real concerns, and all Utahns should expect clear standards and accountability.
Industry is our state’s motto. And in our pursuit of economic strength, we must always ensure that development is thoughtful and in line with Utah values.
Based on conversations with residents, local leaders, subject matter experts, and project stakeholders, the following actions are now being taken regarding this project. 🧵
All this looks ok, I think. Just a question of why it wasn’t all done up front. (Why? Because developers and state were not going to do any of it before the people started raising holy hell about it.)

Materialism, vibe shifts, and girlboss culture may be fueling falling fertility. @kearney_melissa has linked a value shift away from marriage/family to declining birth rates.
Surging teen materialism sure looks like Exhibit A:
