I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

BREAKING NEWS: Federal funding cuts result in 37 people losing their jobs at Utah's Dept. of Health & Human Services. The agency says local health departments will also see job losses. Here's DHHS' statement... #utpol
On March 24, the Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) received unexpected notification from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that certain COVID-related grants under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) were ended effective immediately. Across our department, a total of six grants were impacted. These grants had about $98 million remaining before the end of the grant period, which was supposed to have been the end of 2026. These grants funded public health functions and behavioral health services. DHHS has 187 staff positions funded partially or completely by the impacted funds. These positions are largely limited to the divisions responsible for carrying out the department’s public health functions, and many of these positions were temporary. Unfortunately, we had to announce today an early reduction of 37 staff in positions funded by these specific COVID-related grants. These staff positions will end April 11. “We are sorry to see these positions end early,” Tracy Gruber, director of Utah’s Department of Health and Human Services. “We consider them all public health heroes, many of whom joined our department when we needed to ramp up operations to keep Utahns safe during the global pandemic. These staff came in to serve the public at an incredibly difficult time.” The department will be providing resources to the staff being laid off. Where possible, these staff may apply for other jobs within DHHS if they are qualified and interested. The department will also connect them to job search support through the Utah Department of Workforce Services, and other resources over the next two weeks in the hope that we can retain the talent that has been showing up for this department since the pandemic. In addition to staff reductions, external partners, including local health and mental health authorities receiving funding through these terminated grants have been notified their contracts will be terminated. Public health has faced many challenges, and will undoubtedly face new challenges moving forward. We will continue to work with our dedicated, passionate, and incredibly talented partners at the state and local levels, community-based organizations, healthcare system, and legislative leadership to protect the public’s health. We remain committed to our vision—provide all Utahns fair and equitable opportunities to live healthy and safe lives. ###

Utahns please note, Kennedy/Maloy held a town hall.

Senator Curtis is “too busy”.

Blake Moore and Burgess Owens had time to attend fundraisers, but not town halls.

WTH knows what Mike Lee is doing? Is he even in Utah?

The thought behind this #art is ultimately we can do things differently so working people can reap the fruits of automation and productivity not just in compensation but in terms of the structure of our day-to-day lives and, ultimately, control the limited time we have on this earth. ...
A cat poster in the style of a old-timey propaganda poster. The poster is divided into four vertical segments: 4 hours of work, 4 hours napping, 8 hours sleeping, and 8 hours "whatevs". The segments have illustrations of cats working, sleeping, etc. At bottom is the slogan "Control Productive Time and Reclaim the Day!"
