Fun fact. If you get a shake at the Iceberg drive-in on 39th South and 9th East, you can also visit every congressional district in Utah by simply walking a couple of blocks. Hope that changes today. #utpol

The accuracy….

[Taylor W Anderson @TaylorWAnderson]

Now is about the time of year that cities start holding press conferences asking drivers to pretty please stop hitting kids walking to school instead of designing safe routes to school.

[Lisa Weir Mangiapani @LisaWes]

@RepBlakeMoore Why would anyone hate this? It’s unequivocally good for….literally everyone.

he's just going to lie his way straight through it

if you find Sen. Mike Lee’s public land firesale bill concerning, wait until you learn about how even if Lee fails to push this through, Trump’s Interior and HUD secretaries are separately moving to sell off federal lands for housing development

[Sonny Bunch @SonnyBunch]

Mike Lee can be a Senator or a shitposter, but he really shouldn’t be both. I assume getting dressed down like this will only make him more popular with the base of the party, but it’s fucking embarrassing.

Democrats, some advice: when the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.

Utah clearly had something to do with these rankings

[owen cyclops @owenbroadcast]

nameberry (baby name website) charted the reddest vs bluest baby names (meaning: highest disparity in red states vs blue states) and it extremely interesting data:

Moskowitz: Rather than giving a long speech, I feel like I can just use this. So, that’s a fist, an American flag, fire. From now on, when we do things where we agree, I will just hold this up.

Raskin: Would you explain the reference?

Moskowitz: So this is like when we’re in a chat with friends about where we are dropping missiles

Massie: I think you’re supposed to have the flexed arm instead of the fist

Moskowitz: What signal chat are you in?

[Ben Anderson @BenAndersonUT]

Hey #utpol, would sure be a shame if people flooded this very last-minute town hall that Kennedy and Maloy clearly don’t want you to show up to 👀

2 measles deaths in the US now.
Measles cases popping up all over the country.

Utah banned fluoride today—though 75 years of data show it prevents tooth decay.

RFK Jr is touting cod liver oil and “nutrition” as cures for the most contagious human disease.

In case you forgot, Trump was the president who signed the “deal” with the Taliban, without bringing in the Afghan president and our partner at the time. Seems like he using the same playbook with Putin right now.

[Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler]

One person who should be at today’s Joint Address—but can’t? Dr. Maggie Carpenter, a New York physician now facing criminal charges in Louisiana for providing essential abortion care via telemedicine.

Louisiana issued a warrant for her arrest simply for prescribing Mifepristone, a safe, FDA-approved medication. Thanks to New York’s shield laws, she is protected—but at a cost. She is now unable to leave the state without risking prosecution.

I was honored to speak with Dr. Carpenter today about the urgent fight to protect abortion access, defend medical professionals, and stop extremist attacks on reproductive freedom.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

That’s a shame. If your Republican representative won’t meet with you because their agenda is so unpopular, maybe a Democrat will.

Hell, maybe I will. If your congressman refuses to meet, I’ll come host an event in their district to help local Democrats beat ‘em.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

I put the Curb Your Enthusiasm music to the stock market falling in real time as Trump announces his tariffs. My masterpiece lmao

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

So what exactly should Zelenskyy be thanking Trump/Vance for? Congress, yes. The American taxpayer, yes. But Trump has not done anything for Ukraine yet. All Trump team does is offer gifts to Putin. It's the Russian dictator who they should be demanding thanks from. 12/ END

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

If I’m gonna be fair these questions needs to be asked today.

Why is the release of the Epstein list always a shit show?

What’s the point of booting out illegals and criminals while somehow becoming a safe haven for the Tate brothers?

Why is Crypto in the toilet if Trump is crypto king?

How far does Tsla stock have to crash before Elon goes back to work?

Abortion bans kill another woman. On the day of her baby shower, Nevaeh Crain went to the ER bleeding & feverish. She was diagnosed with sepsis, a deadly infection - but her fetus still had a heart beat. She was sent home. After her 3rd ER visit, she died.

A struggling Nevada mom suffers a miscarriage. Then the police show up and arrest her for manslaughter, and she's sentenced to 2.5-8 years in prison. Only when a pro bono lawyer steps up and appeals does a judge reverse the conviction and set her free to return to her children. This is family values? Think about that as you vote. https://t.co/ARvpf06dVP
