Is there a "woke right"? @ConceptualJames spoke w/ @deseret about why he thinks some MAGA influencers have fallen prey to the same woke fallacies they got famous fighting against. “We should be skeptical of the establishment, but we shouldn’t be so open minded about every

.@MHolyoakFTC & @BasedMikeLee sounded the alarm about @robbystarbuck's lawsuit against Meta alleging the company allowed its AI bot to spread serious falsehoods about Starbuck. Holyoak told @Deseret she looks forward to "investigating the bad actors.” https://t.co/NIOnSlfdU1

Gov. @SpencerJCox told @Deseret Americans must look beyond politics for solutions to the country’s problems. "We do need, I believe, a religious revival," Cox said. "The truth is, we’re the most religious state in the country & that absolutely matters." https://t.co/M3gMUl8YlL

The CEO of Utah's aerospace/defense association, Aaron Starks, said a Russia-Ukraine peace deal must not give up Crimea. “If we give up Crimea after having spent billions & settle w/ Putin & he ultimately gets what he wants, which was Crimea, then that was a waste of money.”

Could Trump's tariffs be an opportunity for Utah's defense industry? New 47G chair @BradWilsonUT, @aarontstarks & @RepChrisStewart think they could be. “We’re open for business,” Starks said. “This is the time; we’re leaning in.” https://t.co/YG4IU9sikL

.@RepChrisStewart told @Deseret we need to decouple defense supply chains from China regardless of the economic impact. “It’s just foolishness to put ourselves where ... defense is reliant on a foreign adversary who at a moment of conflict is going to cut off all that supply."

This has had a catastrophic effect on Utah's homeless. Officials agree leaving fentanyl addicts on the streets is now a death sentence. "When someone’s in the absolute thick of addiction, it’s mandatory treatment or death," @Clancy4Utah told @Deseret. https://t.co/LmBBsvlb7A

Trump’s foreign policy may have cost Canadian Conservatives the parliamentary election on Monday. As voters switched their top issue from cost of living to Trump's tariffs & his "51st state" comments, Pierre Poilievre's historic 25-point lead evaporated. https://t.co/yFBtT9w8DH

Sen. Mike Lee told @Deseret he hopes Trump's trade negotiations lead to more free trade, not less. “Bottom line for me is, I’m very leery of trade wars,” Lee said. “If you see an escalation of trade barriers ... at the end of this, that would be very unfortunate.”

The EU ambassador & Sen. Lee spoke to @Deseret about Trump's tariff negotiations. Both said the deal must be mutually beneficial. “The potential upside is something that could benefit us for many decades," Lee said. "In a trade war there are no winners."https://t.co/MuWSmqF6BA

If the president can target the tax-exempt status of Harvard, it could open the door for future administrations to threaten the tax-exempt status of religious organizations like BYU, Gov. Cox said on Thursday. "I think we should tread very carefully.” https://t.co/kBduVe8lMG
