When I heard that in ‘20 almost 300,000 women in UT were eligible to vote but not registered I didn’t believe it. I believe it now. I’ve spent months trying to get women I know to participate in #utpol & it’s been painfully difficult. Women, please stop giving your voice away

-“The system gives candidates who lose at convention a second chance.” -The law forces the convention winner “to face an additional challenge.” -The system violates “freedom of association under the 1st Amendment.” -Phil Lyman So admirable to stick to your values. Wait… #utpol

@gopTODD Winning legislation: just remove weight completely from our driver licenses. Literally nobody would oppose that bill

@ArrowofA @Manhattva @CitizenHughes You seem incapable of a real convo on this. You’ve changed your argument multiple times & now you’re just slinging insults because you can’t debate the actual policy & implications of this. Just admit you don’t care about “rigged elections” as long as it’s beneficial to your team

@Les_Carpenter @Manhattva @CitizenHughes To someone is oppressing others equality is something that victimizes them. And you right-wing looks loosing your mind off of 38% of the population only getting 25% of seats really shows how narcissistic and greedy you are. Don’t you Bible thumpers call greed a sin?

THIS judge has stripped the leg branch of its separate and equal powers, gerrymandered a Democrat Congressional seat and put dark blue bow on it. There was a deadline of 11/10 for the ruling. An 11:50pm decision shows the contempt this judge has for the exec and leg branch.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh

🚨 BREAKING: Utah state GOP lawmaker is filing to IMPEACH a radical leftist judge who unilaterally created a *new* Democrat Congressional district. CURRENT MAP: 4 Republican - 0 Democrat JUDGE MAP: 3 Republican - 1 Democrat WHAT ON EARTH?! "I have opened a bill to file articles of impeachment against Judge Gibson for gross abuse of power, violating the separation of powers and failing to uphold her oath of office to the Utah Constitution," Rep. Matt MacPherson said The judge chose a map drawn by "the League of Women Voters of Utah and Mormon Women for Ethical Government." Absolutely unreal. STRIKE THIS DOWN!

@ArrowofA @Manhattva @CitizenHughes So now you’re not upset about who decides the process, but rather that Republicans already have “enough”? You talking about rigging elections is rich when you’re cheering on a map that was drawn specifically to help guarantee a Democratic win.

@Les_Carpenter @Manhattva @CitizenHughes That seems like something only someone who wants to rig elections would complain about. This is why the Republican justices even disagreed with you.

@ArrowofA @Manhattva @CitizenHughes If there were more Democratic voters they’d win seats. That’s not legislators picking winners, that’s just elections. You don’t have to like it but UT is a Republican state & spare me the “new aristocracy” line when 1 judge just decided the representation of 3.3M Utahns.

@ArrowofA @Manhattva @CitizenHughes Aristocratic? Please. Yes, we have some wealthy legislators but we also have ranchers, electricians, teachers, & small businesses owners. They voted in line w/the will of their constituents. Prop 4 failed in 25 counties. This wasn’t the will of the people. It was the will of SL

@Manhattva @CitizenHughes You guys ignored prop 4 and are upset numerous republican justices pointed it out it existed. You want an upper class of aristocratic legislators who get to control who actually wins elections with no say from the people.

@kathyballardwvc @CitizenHughes I’m not following. You say you’re a Republican, do you not feel another Republican would best represent you? All the House Reps had primaries, there were multiple choices. They don’t have to be a resident of the district. I do agree we shouldn’t have someone unregistered running

The ONLY factor that distinguishes this little bubble called CD1 IS the PARTISAN Democrat affiliation of the voters within the boundaries. No mix of urban, suburban and rural constituencies for a state with only 4 members of Congress? The fix is in.

🚨 A Utah judge just threw out the GOP’s redistricting map — and practically handed Democrats a safe blue seat. Judge Dianna Gibson ruled that the Republicans’ map didn’t meet the state’s nonpartisan redistricting standards.

@kathyballardwvc @CitizenHughes When you say handpicked it gives the impression that only a small group got a say. Every Republicans voter, including you, in their district got a chance to vote on them.

@CitizenHughes I live in West Valley City. A suburb of Salt Lake City. In a diverse neighborhood. I have been a republican for over 45 years. I am thrilled with this map and the thought that some handpicked maga extremist won’t be my representative. Maybe the person elected in D1 will answer me

@crazyus @mandyloutah In UT you don’t have to live in the Congressional district you represent. Blake & his family lived right outside the boundaries when elected, like blocks. They moved soon after & have been in the district for years now.

These efforts are difficult to talk about but vitally important. Some have begun to argue that AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) should be treated as a form of “harm reduction.” This claim is false & the research is clear: viewing CSAM of any kind is not a harmless act. It reinforces deviant behavior, fuels demand for real-world exploitation, & normalizes sexual violence against children. The Butner Study (research conducted in the early 2000s) that revealed many so-called “viewing only” offenders had in fact committed physical sexual abuse against children… Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigations are crucial because, time & again, hands-on offenders are caught through digital forensic evidence.
Henry Eyring@HenryEyring

This bill is so important--treating AI child porn the same as other child porn. "There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children." Severe penalties for any material that depicts children as objects of sexual gratification.

@LiamThrailkill 💯 When I see these types of things I realize how lucky I’ve been to have the teachers and principal we’ve had for my kids. It’s taken me a few years to accept that there really are educators who genuinely believe they know what’s best over parents.

This is the kind of thinking that makes me a little hesitant with public education. They are MY kids, not yours. If I want to take them out of school to eat ice cream and watch a movie, then that’s what I’ll do.
The Principal’s Office@educator4ever36

It’s 2025 and I actually have parents trying to defend pulling their child out of school for a vacation. I get a death. I get granny is turning 100 and lives out of state. But to get a cheaper vacation- nope. Can’t ever support that.

Democrat policies and activist judges have dire consequences for the most innocent in our society. This makes sick to my stomach. How many more stories like this do we need to hear before the people say, “no more!”

This might not mean much to anyone on X given my very small reach here, but for the last 2.5 years I’ve been documenting my car hobby and using it to connect with other car people while simultaneously raising money for my favorite charities. Well tonight I just passed 1 million followers (combined) across Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube. Pretty stoked about it actually. And it seems like the follower count is actually accelerating as I get bigger. Onward and upward!

@SLCPaladin Every interaction I’ve had with him has been positive. I’ve always appreciated that he’s very honest with me on how he’ll be voting for a bill, including when we’re on opposite sides of a bill. He has also always made time to walk me through his thought process on bills & votes.

Brady Brammer needs to go. He is the most unethical, power-hungry, corrupt state senator in Utah. I went to HS with him. He is not fit to be serving in the legislature. He is conniving and employs "ends justify the means". He's not fit to teach ethics, not fit to serve.
