Mike Lee (R-UT) issued this jointly. …...

Pro-abortion media outlets have recently shared emotional stories of women facing pregnancy complications in Idaho, where the state’s Defense of Life Act protects most preborn children from induced abortion (the intentional killing of a preborn human being). This Act was at the center of a recent Supreme Court case in which the Biden administration claimed the Act violates the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), which mandates “stabilizing care” for patients during a medical emergency. The administration claims the Act puts women in danger if they cannot get ’emergency’ abortions, and the media has been quick to feature...

PROVO, Utah (AP) — A pair of moderate Utah Republicans won primary elections Tuesday for U.S. Senate and governor over far-right candidates who are loyalists to former President Donald Trump, the latest example of how Utah is a rare Republican state that doesn’t fully embrace Trump’s stranglehold on the GOP. U.S. Rep. John Curtis, who won the GOP primary for Mitt Romney’s open U.S. Senate seat, and Gov. Spencer Cox still support Trump and many of his policies but have shown a willingness to stake out different positions on issues where they disagree. Curtis and Cox both defeated candidates who...

The University of Utah will eliminate cultural centers geared to Black, female, LGBT and other students as it shifts gears to comply with a new Utah law that targets diversity initiatives in public universities and other public entities. Instead, the offerings the centers have provided will be centralized in a new, more broad-based entity, the Community and Cultural Engagement Center. The changes were publicly announced Thursday, ahead of the July 1 deadline to comply with HB261. That's the new Utah law meant to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives — typically geared to minority and marginalized students — and prod...

Even those who dislike the former President see a case of legal and political malpractice.How dare Mitt Romney. And Sens. Susan Collins and Mitch McConnell. The anti-Trump press corps is dismayed that Republicans of all stripes, even those who aren’t fond of Donald Trump, have criticized the Manhattan prosecution and guilty verdict. The media coverage after the verdict has followed the usual Trump-era pattern. Democrats pursue some anti-Trump operation—impeachment, a Russia collusion probe, a prosecution. The press then descends as one to chide Republicans, with the unsubtle implication that they must be unethical sellouts if they oppose what Democrats are...
