• Sen. Mike Lee's SAVE America Act is stalled in the Senate, so he's recruiting dead people to try and resurrect the bill. He invoked Charlie Kirk on social media this week, just a few weeks after doing the same thing with Lindsey Graham.
• Federal Judge Robert Shelby rules Utah's gambling ban isn't preempted by federal commodities law, dealing the prediction-market Kalshi a major loss, with an appeal likely.
• Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson highlights the Justice Department's 0-20 record suing states over voter rolls, plus the administration's renewed push to restrict vote-by-mail through USPS.
• Medicaid work requirements from last year's federal budget bill are set to take effect in 2027, with state officials estimating roughly 40,000 Utahns will lose coverage.
• Sen. John Curtis backs Todd Blanche for attorney general and takes heat from the right over his temporary-worker visa bill.
• Diarrhea lettuce and salmonella jalapeños.
