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

If you're keeping score, the NAACP and now the League have been granted intervenor status, siding with Lt. Gov. Henderson against the DOJ. The Democratic National Committee filed a "friend of the court" brief siding with the Republican LG. #utpol #Utah
JUST IN: A federal judge will ALLOW the League of Women Voters of Utah (represented by the ACLU of Utah) to intervene in the DOJ's lawsuit against Lt. Gov. Henderson over voter roll information. The League is siding with the LG in refusing to hand over private voter info. #utpol #Utah
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

It would seem that he's been working 14 hour days again looking for a way to bypass the will of the electorate.

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

It’s disconcerting not knowing which statement or comment I will avoid making tomorrow: Trump TACOing on Iran again, or Trump blatantly committing war crimes. #utpol

HAPPENING NOW: The Great Salt Lake Watershed Enhancement Trust announces that as a direct result of people’s conservation efforts, Salt Lake City and Sandy’s Metro Water District is donating 2,500 acre feet of water to the lake. It’s new water. #utpol #Utah
Fire Restriction Order Due to current and forecasted weather conditions coupled with the record dry vegetation conditions and extreme fire danger throughout Uintah County, Utah the Uintah Fire District Executive Director has determined that measures must be taken to prevent the ignition of forest and rangeland fires. Therefore, pursuant to resolution number # 2026-05, the following act is prohibited in the areas described below until rescinded by the Executive Director: 1. No open burning(spring burn window) during the months of April 2, 2026 through May 31, 2026. Except within established facilities in improved campgrounds or day use areas on public lands, or in permanently constructed fire pits at permanent private dwellings served by pressurized running water. *The fire restriction order number 2026-05 will be unchanged and will remain in effect until May 31, 2026 or until rescinded. The following persons are exempted from the above prohibitions: 1. Persons with a permit or waiver issued by the District, specifically authorizing a specified act at a specific location.

Area Description: All unincorporated private lands within Uintah County, and incorporated city limits including Vernal City, Naples City and Ballard City.

Checking court dockets, I noticed the Utah Supreme Court asked for briefing in appeals from Planned Parenthood and a group of teens suing Utah over climate change. That's a sign the state’s top court may wade into this brand new law: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah

ICYMI, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on LGBTQ conversion therapy will likely NOT impact Utah’s ban. Equality Utah, social conservatives and lawmakers did something a little “different:” www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah
