When Erin Mendenhall was sworn in as SLC mayor all hell broke loose: a pandemic, an earthquake, riots, a hurricane. Maybe the stars were aligned in a pretzel. We went to Madame Cassiopeia to read Erin's star chart for answers. Read more at SMART BOMB. https://t.co/GLbrBq2PuT

SMART BOMB: Dems hate that we'll replace liberal icon RBG with a woman who loathes birth control and the ACA. It's better than when we replaced civil-rights hero Thurgood Marshall with Clarence Thomas, who scoffs at affirmative action. Read more at https://t.co/GLbrBq2PuT
