@GovCox It’s a political issue that escalates every election cycle because Republicans don’t want to fix it because doing so takes away the election scare tactic. If this wasn’t a political issue the House would the Senate bill. They won’t because Trump told them not to because ….it

With all due respect, but WHAT?! I’m saying this as someone that actually likes you. I might not agree with you 100%, but I will ALWAYS have the UTMOST respect for someone that fights for voter rights and is as honest about voting as I am. Respect given is respect earned, and you

The GOP convention is no longer a family friendly environment. I’m mortified by the vulgarity and viciousness my young nieces were exposed to by another gubernatorial campaign’s supporters. It’s embarrassing, sad, and clearly no longer for kids.

This morning I had to provide proof of my vaccination status to my employer. I happily complied. Do you know what it reminded me of? Registering my kids for school. I had peace of mind knowing that my kids wouldn’t be exposed to smallpox, Polio, or Rubella. #GetItDone

Yes, Lauren Boebart is a horrible person and shouldn't be a member of Congress. But Lauren Boebart isn't the problem. The problem is the people in the room where the remarks were made who stayed, laughed and then gave money so she could STAY in Congress. THAT is the problem.

Utah Parents United is bragging about Canyon SD voting out Second Step. The same week a child dies by suicide after being bullied, they brag about district ending a program that teaches them how to accept those who are different and to be better people. They’re killing our kids.

Due to recent events with #utleg and Gov DeSantis, I’ve decided we must work harder to eradicate racism in Utah. I have a few shirts to give away on a first-come, first-served basis. I only ask that if I must ship to you, please donate $5 for shipping. #eracism

I wouldn’t be where I’m at today had it not been for dedicated teachers and public schools. Dad worked two jobs so mom could stay home with 6 kids. Neither had graduated high school. Instead of vilifying teachers, let’s lift them up and fund education. #flipthe4th #utleg #utpol

Devin Nunes has two eyewitnesses to the Ukraine call testifying publicly right in front of him, but all he apparently cares about is the identity of the initial whistleblower who was *not* an eyewitness.

Truth matters. Republican-appointed Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell is using the tools he has to address inflation, but prices of common goods are not going down. That means there’s another factor at play, and that factor is called corporate greed.

If there remain any doubt why we must vote this November for Joe Biden, this is it. The next president will likely get 2-3 Supreme Court Justices. Civil Rights cannot afford another Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Alito on the Court. The Constitution will not survive 3 more of these men.

Bottom-line. They're voting against Neera Tanden for being too mean. Susan Collins' stmt, "Neera Tanden has neither the experience nor the temperament to lead this critical agency." Yet affirmed Ben Carson for HUD. He had no experience and had said mean things about Obama.
