Utah

“

I will just tell you that right now in Utah, they're worried about affordability, and they don't want to be worried about how their taxpayer dollars are being spent.

“

[Bipartisan letter to President Trump from 14 senators, led by Jeanne Shaheen and Roger Wicker:] President Putin bears sole responsibility for launching Russia's full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Allowing him to participate in a G20 Summit in the United States raises serious concerns about legitimizing and normalizing a government that continues to attack Ukrainian civilian targets every day. … As Russia continues its war against Ukraine and refuses to agree to a just and lasting peace agreement, its government should not be afforded a business-as-usual treatment alongside other nations at G20 events. … We urge you to reverse course and rescind the invitation to President Putin.

“

I would certainly hope [Trump] would bring that up [with Xi — China's military assistance to Iran].

“

Let's make it easy to vote and let's make it hard to cheat. [Lee said on the Senate floor as he asked unanimous consent to pass the SAVE America Act.]

“

[Statement from Moore's office:] Congressman Moore does not agree with this recent decision and believes that, unless they are committing slander or libel, all media should have access to the White House.

“

A toaster is a wedding gift. A private-island party paid for by a Putin-connected oligarch is something else. … Republicans nearly wore out the subpoena machine investigating Hunter Biden's foreign relationships. We should not unplug it now. [In a letter to Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and ranking member Dick Durbin, Curtis asked the committee to] launch an investigation into the use of presidential family relationships for private financial benefit, preferential treatment, or access by domestic and foreign interests, [and to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden, writing that] the country should not have to accept one standard for the family of a Republican president and another for the family of a Democratic president.

“

I don't think you'd see restricting the press in any handbooks on leading the free world.

“

Well, look, I think a lot of us are really worried. I know I have been for a long time about the national debt. We just passed the 40 trillion mark. It seems like that's unsustainable. And we know we had an inflation crisis because of the funds that were handed out during COVID, and that led to a significant spike in inflation … So I'm very concerned about those inflationary pressures that we're seeing. Again, I think there's other things that we can do to help bring down prices.

“

Well, a much bigger role than the role that they're actually playing. I don't think the speaker has to worry at all about Congress not acting. … The people that know the most about this are the most concerned right now. … I'm not saying a moratorium. I'm not saying shutting things down. Government doesn't get this right often either, but we should be at the table working together, and that's what we've done in Utah.

“

I'm not going to be intimidated into compliance with something I don't believe is right.

“

No letter — and we've gotten a lot of letters from the Department of Justice over the past year — not a single one of them said that we were under investigation for anything. … What's not helpful is the constant barrage of attacks and harassment and accusations, baseless accusations, that do nothing to help secure our elections.

“

Legal disagreements between Utah and the federal government should be resolved in court. It is wrong for the DOJ to investigate or threaten the lieutenant governor for carrying out her responsibilities under Utah law.

“

Um, no, I was not aware, but I guess I am now. … It would be nice if the good folks at the DOJ would focus on actual problems instead of baselessly harassing election officials.

“

New America? Kind of catchy.

If prediction markets are allowed everywhere, and then they basically just become quick access to sports gambling, like there’s your loophole, there’s the back door.

“

With today's SCOTUS ruling, President Trump has made a giant leap forward in securing our 2026 elections.

“

Congress must still pass the SAVE America Act to secure future elections. We should've passed it months ago.

For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has tied the hands of local land managers with a one-size-fits-all federal policy. Rescinding it restores the flexibility to make thoughtful decisions based on the needs of each forest and each community.

“

Utahns love our forests, and loving these places means taking care of them. We can protect the landscapes we treasure by actively managing them for the next generation.

“

We did our best, left no stone unturned. I wish the outcome had been different, both as to adjournment and as to these votes. But this fight's not over. We're just getting started.

“

Tragically, the Save America vote on the voter ID component failed. Not a single Democrat joined us. We're going to have to keep fighting on that one. We're not done. We're just getting started.

“

We're not in a position right now where we have the wherewithal to pass [the SAVE America Act] right now. But we are going to vote on [the] measure with voter ID, which is about half of what the SAVE America Act is.

“

@LeaderJohnThune, I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August — at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act. Leaders must lead. And if they don’t, they’re not leaders.

“

Americans need more affordable housing. Unfortunately, this bill doesn't do enough to provide it, instead increasing the federal government's long-running and failed involvement in the U.S. housing market.

“

FISA 702 reauthorization failed because it did not contain a warrant requirement for spying on Americans. The people who spied on the Trump campaign, Members of Congress, and countless other Americans hate the idea. Come back with warrant requirement, and we'll pass the bill.

“

On first blush, it doesn't pass the smell test.

“

The political left spent decades hiding their racial obsession behind the banner of civil rights. Today, that game ends.

“

What the Supreme Court did today was to say that it's not okay to engage in racial gerrymandering. The government, under the constitution, is not supposed to treat you differently based on your race. Almost never is that appropriate. There are very, very few circumstances where it is, and this is not one of those.

Nice headline. You left out 'SPLC was funding the Klan.' Propagandize much?
