Spending this morning at Union 101 here at the Union Labor Center in SLC. Great turnout of labor leaders and candidates to get educated about the important role unions play in our state and country.

Affordable childcare. Clean air and public lands protection. Livable wages. Accessible healthcare. Housing you can actually afford.
These are Utah issues, and our candidates fight for every Utahn. Democratic candidates show up for the future of this state, no matter your party.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded?

There’s so much going on that it’s easy to overlook the fact that the president is telling so many lies.
Here’s a fact check of 28 different false claims President Donald Trump made from Monday through Friday. cnn.com/2026/05/23/pol…

The DOJ's attorney told the court at oral argument: "this whole notion that somehow there's going to be a national database created from" the voter registration data "is not true."
Judge Walker quoted it. Then noted that an executive order directing DHS to compile a "State Citizenship List" from exactly that voter registration data was issued almost immediately after those assurances were given.
That is not editorializing. That is a Trump-appointed federal judge documenting, in a footnote, the distance between what the government said under oath and what the government then did in public.
The DOJ is 0-8. Four of those eight losses came from Trump's own appointees. The Civil Rights Act of 1960 argument has not persuaded a single judge across 31 cases. The footnote will outlast all of them.

The DOJ has no right to demand private voter data from Maine and Wisconsin, two federal judges ruled this week. The department is now 0 for 8 in its legal battle to obtain state voter rolls to bolster Trump’s lies about widespread illegal voting. bit.ly/3PCfuwT

No surprise to anyone except the Republicans who approved it.
Utah Democrats are fighting to put public input, the Great Salt Lake, and Utah families ahead of billionaires who won't stick around to live with the consequences of these decisions.

New poll shows Utahns have soured on Box Elder data center as anti-AI sentiment sweeps the nation. Fifty-three percent of Utah voters said they oppose Kevin O'Leary's proposed data center in Box Elder County. Seven in 10 voters said economic benefits of data centers don't outweigh environmental impacts. Regulators said the massive project would take less water than the land's current agricultural use.

Where is that same urgency when it comes to the policies that got us here? Utah needs a freeze on water allocations for new developments (including data centers), an audit of agricultural water rights, and an honest conversation about what kind of growth we can actually sustain.

Here's how the corruption works:
Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump
Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it
Friday: FDA changes the policy

We're grateful to the House Democratic Caucus for their leadership and action on this issue.
By pushing for additional research into data center impacts, they're ensuring communities have the information they need to make sound, evidence-based decisions. This is how you show up for your constituents.
Lindsay Aerts@LindsayOnAir
Of note: the Natural Resources committee just voted to add the study of several environmental impacts of data centers to their study items this year. Things like water, energy use, the wildlife, solar/nuclear generation, etc.

It's not a question of what we can afford. This has never been about scarcity. It is and has always been about who we were willing to fight for, and who we decided could wait.
We are not a poor country. We have simply decided, again and again, who is worth paying for.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30B/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $29B and counting It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

I asked former IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel for comment. He writes: “I am unaware of a single precedent where the IRS has agreed in advance to permanently forgo examination of previously filed tax returns for a specific person or business. Whether you are the President or Joe the Plumber, people expect the same tax rules and enforcement framework to apply to everybody.”

Good morning.
The President of the United States is currently looting the treasury. He’s just taking your money for his own purposes. Billions of it.
And Republicans won’t do anything because their loyalty isn’t to you, it’s to him.
Congressman Randy Fine@RepFine
This is @realDonaldTrump’s Republican Party. The rest of us get the privilege of living in it.

As astonishing as the degree of Trump’s grift is how little attention it gets.

They are looting the country on an unprecedented scale and the lesson of losses by Massie and Cassidy is that no Republican in Congress will ever lift a finger to halt this.

In case you've forgotten, here are some of the things learned from the Trump tax returns leaked by a government contractor in 2020: In 10 of the 15 years before Trump won the presidency, Trump paid no federal income tax. In 2016 and 2017, he paid $750. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
