Utah State Senator, District 13 - Millcreek, Sugar House, SSL, Murray, WVC. Huge pain in the ass for Republicans everywhere. nateforutah.com
The confirmation of a new justice to Utah's Supreme Court sets a precedent for future judges that those with aspirations to the bench must seek out high profile, controversial issues & side politically with the supermajority if they want a seat. I voted no.

Democrats want leaders who stand up to Trump & the GOP, not politicians who roll out the red carpet to placate their peers. Cox's embrace of Trumpism as our communities struggle to pay bills & worry about neighbors pulled off the streets is out of step.

Grateful for the folks at Crossroads Urban Center and a strong group of community and faith leaders who are leading the charge for reasonable approaches to helping the homeless. The proposed large shelter is a bandaid on a bigger problem that starts with a roof over everyone's head.

Spent a couple hours this AM talking to students at Eisenhower Junior High in Taylorsville! Mr. Roach invites elected officials to talk to his students every semester about what we do in our position & how important it is to be an informed citizen. Looking forward to next time.

Plug-in Solar Rising
Utah passed law, exempting solar systems 1,200 watts or smaller from interconnection rules.
If 5 plus states adopt reforms, study forecasts:
Cost of plug-in solar falls to ~$0.50/watt & payback to 3-4 years.
24 million homes use it!

Utah judge picks plaintiffs’ congressional map over one favored by GOP lawmakers
In an opinion that came down late Monday night, “the Court finds that Map C [the Legislature’s map] was drawn with the purpose to favor Republicans,” wrote Judge Dianna Gibson.

Ever since President Trump took office, Congressional Democrats have done one thing: obstruct.

Magleby - somehow, Trende's maps don't have partisan bias. that suggests screening out maps that have partisan bias - maps that will pass the partisan symmetry test.

Utah Republicans are attacking the credibility of a witness brought by Democrats after having used state money to hire a conservative activist who works for a conservative news/polling firm. Complete double standard.
Rep. Roberts questions the optics of this. Sen. Escamilla claps back that Dr. Trende has his own issues of bias.
"We are supposed to work as a legislature in a nonpartisan way for this process," she says.

Hilarious to see Utah Republicans read old tweets and cry about bias when confronted with a loss in the realm of the courts. These folks have the thinnest skin imaginable and will do anything to stack the deck in their favor and hold onto power.
Rep. Owens now hints the maps the legislature has proposed are illegal.
"You just demeaned US," Chair Sandall says, getting angry and calling him "out of order."
Rep. Owens apologizes, but says they have a "suspicion." Chair Sandall is fuming.

Oof. The Dems need to stop pretending, based on some imaginary focus group, that there’s some common ground with Trump. The key is to fight everywhere.
You should go study Neville Chamberlain’s attempt at “common ground.” It didn’t end well for his historical reputation. Or the world.
