On weekdays, I'm at my computer doing DevOps work. On weekends, I try to get projects at home done in spite of my ADHD, or overcome my anxiety enough to spend time with my amazing family in public. Annually, I'm a Naruto Army shadow clone recruit.

Brian King, the Chair of the Utah Democratic Party:

For the first time in 100 years, Utahns will have a map free of rigging and interference.

With fair maps, we have a real shot at flipping seats across the state in 2026 and helping Democrats nationally take back the House Majority.

Republicans have refused to appoint Adelita Grijalva for 10% of her term. Arizonans should therefore receive a 10% federal tax break. Otherwise it will truly be taxation without representation.

Let's talk about waste, fraud, and abuse. Republicans fraudulently claim SNAP costs too much. In reality, each dollar they abusively withhold from a hungry child wastes $62. www.prb.org/articles/wha...

For the youngest Americans, $1 of SNAP payments generates $62+ in economic and health benefits.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Millions will go hungry because Trump and Republicans won't use available funds to keep SNAP running during the shutdown.

And they won't end the shutdown because they refuse to extend ACA subsidies that will keep insurance premiums from doubling for millions.

Policy choices.

This morning, I was visiting students off campus when their fellow students texted to make sure everyone was Okay. That's how I found out about Charlie Kirk. Because we have loved ones at UVU, the president's office sent us this message.

My heart goes out to families suffering from grief today. Please forgive me, but I can't wait until the next mass shooting before I ask my representatives to do something to help my children avoid similar fates.

I was shocked at how quickly laws appeared to regulate the use of drones for public safety. But we can't regulate gun use. Have you ever heard of a mass drone attack? Neither have I, because we regulate the use of every other machine, tool, or substance that can easily be used to cause people harm.

True fear is waiting for your child to text they are okay when their school is in lockdown. Utah is trying to ban student phones while requiring their school has an armed responder. Make our children safe and we'll send them to school without smart phones.

"Action is the anecdote to despair (@ecmclaughlin)."
If it feels like America is sliding deeper into darkness—with voter suppression, book bans, gag orders, and fear spreading daily—you’re not alone. The truth is, fascism thrives when good people hesitate, but democracy grows stronger when ordinary people take action.
