Not sure why I even tried, but I'm thinking my 2025 resolution to teach my fellow Republicans the difference between "socialism" and "democratic socialism" has been a lost cause. #utpol

Once again I need to remind everyone that not all Republicans refer to women as piggies just because one Republican did.
Most of us just call women stay-at-home mothers, future stay-at-home mothers, should-be-at-home mothers, or shoulda-kept-your-knees-together mothers. #utpol

I’m told the Utah GOP is running their petition drive to end independently drawn maps in accordance with their election standards. If asked to sign a petition, be ready to present a valid state-issued ID and proof of U.S. citizenship. Temple recommends are also valid. #utpol

Utah House Minority Leader Angela Romero with an EPIC quote when I asked if she wants to run for the new congressional seat: “Why the f— would I want to be part of that s— show when I’m already in this s— show?!?!”
She’s not running, for the record. She added: “I do love this s— show.” #utpol #Utah

Hey friends. Quick clarification. I did NOT endorse @benmcadams.bsky.social for congress. During our phone call, I clearly told him I'd work WITH him IF he were elected, but he must have taken that as an endorsement. I have reached out to his team and they'll be taking down my "endorsement." #utpol
