Obviously, I did not endorse record-high oil prices. I just endorsed a guy who doesn't listen to experts or staff around him, who can quote movie lines like "never get involved in a land war in Asia." #utpol

This isn't uncommon for justices to recuse themselves, but it's noteworthy given the magnitude of THIS case (independent redistricting). Also, by the time the Utah Supreme Court does hear the case? There will be SEVEN justices on the Court. #utpol #Utah

NEW: Utah Supreme Court Justices John Nielsen and Diana Hagen announce they will recuse themselves from the latest redistricting appeal. Justice Nielsen represented the Utah GOP in an amicus and Justice Hagen had friendships with some lawyers in the case early in her legal career. #utpol #Utah

Live Updates: US-Israeli strikes hit Iran's oil, rail and bridges ahead of Trump deadline The U.S. struck Kharg Island, a critical oil hub for Iran. President Donald Trump warned that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not capitulate in war.

I know it’s screaming into to void to assert that a U.S. President shouldn’t be allowed to start a war without congressional approval & then be allowed to carry through on his promise to wipe out Iran, (a war crime), but here we are. #utpol

Just how pricey are tickets for LA’s 2028 Olympics? Tickets to Utah’s 2034 Winter Games will start at $34, but many will be “very expensive.”

It costs $10K for a family of four to sit in 'okay' seats at the #LA28 Olympics Opening Ceremonies -- will prices be that high for Utah's 2034 Winter Games? #utpol #utoly #Olympics #Utah2034
