  Gov. Gary Herbert has called on everyone in Utah to wear masks, socially distance in public and limit casual gatherings to the people they live with, otherwise they could face penalties.

• RSL just ended the most chaotic season in franchise history — but they still expected to make the playoffs.

  Looking back on the 2020 Real Salt Lake season requires a telescope about as strong as the Hubble. That’s how the season feels when considering how much has transpired since last December, when Freddy Juarez was named as the club’s permanent coach and Elliot Fall its new general manager.There was so much optimism then. The shadow of Mike Petke and Craig Waibel had dissipated. The club was coming off a 2019 season where it finished third in the Western Conference. The organization soo

• New report calls for statewide officer to oversee Utah’s response to homelessness

  10-11-2020 22:25
  
  Utah’s existing homeless governance structure is “confusing,” overly “complex” and “inefficient” — and a failure to address the problems inherent in the system could cause the state to “backslide” on the progress it’s made so far.That’s according to a new report the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah released Thursday that identifies several problems with the state’s homeless services system and

  There will be more than a few conservatives who will spend the next 30 years trying to prove the election was stolen. Others will insist Donald Trump would have won save for a deep state, the liberal media and disloyal Never Trumpers. And many will argue that Trump was a successful conservative president who scored important policy victories and broadened the Republican base, only to run aground on a once-in-a-century pandemic that would have wrecked any presidency.Reality is otherwise.

  Ordinarily, it’s not possible for a party to win the presidency and have a bad election night, but the Democrats managed it.Pending the outcome of two Senate runoffs in Georgia, Joe Biden looks set to become a caretaker president who won’t be signing any legislation that doesn’t pass muster in Mitch McConnell’s Senate first.He isn’t riding into the White House on the strength of a Blue Wave, as was so often predicted, but a Blue Trickle that saw Democrats fail to wi

And the January runoff races in Georgia offer Democrats their last chance to take the Senate.Beyond the immediate electoral implications, however, the fact that Democrats are now competitive in Georgia but not in Ohio, which appears to have become Trumpier than Texas, tells you a lot about where America is heading.

Donald Trump was running a re-election campaign founded in lies, and I had no faith that my fellow Americans would throw him out. The polls were reassuring, but I wasn’t reassured. Polls were reassuring in 2016, too, and this country still ended up in an abusive relationship with the most corrupt and dangerous president of my lifetime.I had no faith, but I held out hope.
