Sen Mike Lee this explanation from the AP will help: apnews.com/article/2022-m… TLDR-You're confusing two determinations: the media's election-night calls and actual vote certifications led by election adminstrators across 50 states, which have always taken days at a minimum.

Respectfully Mayor Trent Staggs you got the facts wrong here. The most celebrated & respected #journalists in history have been activists. You've heard of one: a #localreporter whose activism helped launch a little coastal republic not far from here. Worked outta Boston. Went by Ben.

Sen. Curt Bramble just warned the committee they're running out of time to debate the resolution blocking Title IX protections for transgender students. That highlights today's rushed process - 45 minutes debating the bill before it goes to the floor for final passage #utpol

What to make of the latest #Assange developments? Ask me in ten years. Just wishing him and his family safety and peace for now. Reading the coverage, I keep thinking of Donna Brazile. Any who support or oppose Assange should read her book Hacks: The Inside Story.

Failure of lauren gustus & Jeff Parrott to address departure of BRYAN SCHOTT, one of the most visible & influential voices in #utpol in thier own pub is a misstep of journalistic standards and excellence.

Respectfully, lauren gustus/Jeff Parrott, the The Salt Lake Tribune uses Society of Professional Journalists Ethics Code. Addressing BRYAN SCHOTT' departure is ethically necessary to "balance the public's need for information against potential harm" to him and his readers, and to be accountable and transparent.

Sobbed my way thru this work-of-art journalism from the master of the biz Becky Jacobs. She tells about efforts to find missing U.S. soldiers with such heart + sensitivity. Her convo with the daughter of a missing WWII pilot — born 1 month before her dad disappeared — ruined me.

Important context: Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox referred to the violent police response against peaceful students as "brilliant" the week school let out several months ago. The teachers he addresses here wrote an open letter condemning the violence he supports. #utpol x.com/CourtneyLTanne…
