RE: https://journa.host/@z_everson/117355195797432272 This will be one of the few cases where it's good the #LDS church rules #Utah like a theocracy. They'll never willingly allow gambling here.

"The Trump administration is going to bat for the prediction market industry, now tangled in lawsuits in at least 20 states, after giants Kalshi and Polymarket hired revolving-door lobbyists this year from both the Democratic and Republican sides of the aisle—and as Donald Trump Jr. holds investments in both companies."

Kalshi loses in court to Utah. Can Utahns still bet on prediction markets?

Utah won a courtroom round in its anti-gambling fight against Kalshi and other prediction markets. Will this be the beginning of the end of such betting in the Beehive State?

So is it a holiday or is it not? Governor Spencer Cox made it a #Utah state Charlie Kirk Day, but that doesn't call for cake? And why is Giuliani doxxing a Utah teenager over cake? Doesn't he want Kirk celebrated? #utpol #uspol
A Utah student joked on a cake about the killing of Charlie Kirk. Rudy Giuliani and others publicized her identity and now the U. is investigating.

Say what you will, but I really like the new paint job on #TransAlly #SaltLake #9thAnd9th #Whale. #utpolhttps://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/salt-lake-city/salt-lake-citys-9th-9th-whale-is-getting-a-new-paint-job

Salt Lake City’s ‘iconic’ 9th and 9th whale will get a makeover. See it here.

Salt Lake City’s iconic 9th and 9th whale is getting a fresh new look, but the new design still pays tribute to the original that won over many Salt Lakers.

"His proposal would require quarterly audits of the Salt Lake City Police Department and annual audits of any government agency that requests the data. Any misuse is punishable in Utah with criminal charges. "'So, if you're a police officer and you're thinking about misusing it, that's a big deal,' Puy said. 'You know that could change your career or destroy it completely.'" Hey, #SaltLake! Let's support this. #utpol #Flock #ACAB

Replying to
@jlms-qkw.bsky.social What an incredible waste of money. Not only will it do nothing to help, the destruction of the environment and the defunding of useful programs actively harms. #utpol #AI #Depression

What it was like for 6 pediatricians on the front lines of Utah’s measles outbreak

"It’s heartbreaking to see these children struggling to survive when measles could have been easily prevented by a safe mechanism that is readily available and well studied," said Nathan Money, a hospital pediatrician in Salt Lake County and Utah County.

The main problem with programs like Provo Canyon Schools is that those in power in #Utah think abuse is a good and right way to treat people who don't conform. #utpol #abuse #cult
Voices: I survived Provo Canyon School. Utah must stand firm on its closure.

Voices: I survived Provo Canyon School. Utah must stand firm on its closure.

“Children deserve safe help,” Jen Robison writes in an op-ed. “That cannot happen until we stop allowing them to be abused for profit while calling it ‘care.’”

Worried about the shrinking #GreatSaltLake? Me, too. #utpol #Utahns claim they care. If so, where's the money for these programs to reduce #SLC air pollution? Air pollution directly increases the snow melt and heat in the valley. #Utah #CleanAir #PublicTransportation

RE: https://mstdn.social/@Nshrubs/116916087739855863 That's the motive. They don't care about preserving the public lands, the tribes' sacred spaces, or the dinosaur bones. #Utah #GOP want to destroy the lands to get the fossil fuels and nuclear elements out to make our lives even hotter and more unsustainable. #utpol

President Donald Trump on Monday sharply reduced the size of two national monuments in Utah, undoing protections established by former presidents on public lands that are sacred among many Native Americans. Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in southern Utah have ancient cliff dwellings, petroglyphs and scenic canyons, as well as coal and uranium deposits that state officials want made available for development. https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2026-07-13/trump-reduces-size-of-2-national-monuments-in-utah-as-republicans-reshape-land-management

Last night, Cedar City had an agenda item to renew their Flock contract. The public backlash was so strong they punted for two weeks on what would have otherwise been a routine renewal. Showing up works, and tell the doomers to zip it. #utpol
