Troy Williams

Is this the apocalypse? Or is there a reason to be optimistic? THE AI DOC: OR HOW I BECAME AN APOCALOPTIMIST opens March 27 at Broadway.

"Partisan victories are never enduring victories" Here's a transcript of my Mormonland interview with @sltrib on how we advanced LGBT legal rights in conservative Utah. sltrib.com/religion/2026/…

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@TheDargerFamily Thank you Dargers! Love you!

@TroyWilliamsUT We have known Troy a long time and wish him success in his next chapter. He has been a great ally, friend and ardent advocate for the underserved and the "others" in a way that builds bridges rather than tearing down. In todays world of extreme tribalism we need more Troys.

It's been an incredible journey, from Eagle Forum to Equality Utah. Thank you to everyone for your support over the past 11 years. I will always love Utah! sltrib.com/news/politics/…

@FakeGovernorCox Well, that depends how the congressional elections turn out! But thank you for being the best fake governor ever!!

Thank you, @TroyWilliamsUT, for your tireless work for Equality Utah and the LGBTQ community. Go forth, do good things, but remember there's a “UT” in your handle, so we expect you to come back home at some point.

The right has to face facts. You don’t fix illiberalism by importing it into the statehouse and then pouring it into public universities. You don’t defend free speech by building a viewpoint-discrimination regime and calling it “reform.” And you don’t get to wave away the constitutional problem by insisting the people pointing it out must be secretly left-wing, or that they’re “in on it,” or that it’s all some elaborate “media game.” If your solution to campus orthodoxy is “let the government decide what can be taught,” you haven’t found a cure. You’ve just swapped out censors and asked us to pretend it’s liberty because you like the new one better. I’m not moving on that. Not for the left, not for the right, and not for any imaginary cabal with better parties than the ones I actually get invited to.

Can religious liberty and LGBTQ civil rights peacefully coexist under civil law? We believe the answer is yes—and only if people are willing to sit at the same table and talk. Yesterday, I joined Elder Alexander Dushku from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Harvard Law School for a candid conversation about conflict, compromise, and constitutional pluralism. Together, we reflected on how we went from a bitter struggle over marriage equality during California’s Proposition 8 to collaboration with the 2015 Utah Compromise, which expanded and balanced both religious liberty and LGBT civil rights. Thank you to Harvard Law Latter-day Saints for hosting this event, and to all the students who showed up to talk!

Happy book launch day to all those who celebrate (it's a religious holiday but one of the looser ones where you don't have to go to church with your grandma. itjustgetsstranger.com/happy-book-lau…

I'm excited to speak at @Harvard_Law this week alongside Elder Dushku from the @LDSchurch Qof70. We'll be discussing the Utah Compromise and seeking common ground on LGBT and Religious Liberty. hls.harvard.edu/events/the-uta…

Donald Trump’s actions on social media need to be universally condemned. Silence on this matter is simply not an option

@SenJohnCurtis Thank you Senator Curtis. The moral rot of this administration continues to damage the soul of America. You are going to be called upon to do more to restore and repair our nation from what he has unleashed.

The post was blatantly racist and inexcusable. It should never have been posted or left published for so long.

“[Pam Bondi] pretty much slandered all of us,” said Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson. “And to me, that’s problematic to publicly claim that secretaries of state are not doing our jobs and the federal government has to do it for us. Not OK.” sltrib.com/news/politics/…

Came home to a shipment of copies of my book, We're Thankful for the Moisture. Available for preorder (see my linktree in my bio) for release on February 17. (Winnie the Pooh doll and wine bottle not included.)

From conservative journalist, @jon_rauch, who isn't one for hyperbole: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/…

I'm happy to endorse @BenMcAdams. We need someone in Washington who can actually work across the aisle and get work done. He has my vote.

@metzgov “Any dinner plans before you head back to NYC? Jk But if not let me know lol”

This is disappointing. But methinks we have not seen the last of MTG!

I'm discovering that X is actually still a great platform if you just mute the political crazies on both the Right and the Left, and mostly follow pop stars, comedians and hot guys.
