NEW: Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah.
But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it.

Jesus. EVERYTHING they said Kamala would do, THEY are doing.
Liars and opportunists. Shameful.
The US government’s failed Middle East evacuation should be a major scandal. Because if this is any indication of how they’re going to run this war? We’re screwed.
“Upon information and belief” is what you say in a civil legal pleading when you suspect something to be true, but you have to proof.
We don’t go to war “upon information and belief.”
Your tits are amazing!
Your ass is so SEXY!
All of the above!
Oh I can only imagine…..
We used to be a country that could summon outrage and turn it into courage. Now, MAGA watches Trump bomb a girls’ school in Iran and lie about it. Here are some ideas about what we need to do about it. joycevance.substack.com/p/bloody-sun...
Oksana Masters is an absolute legend...20 Paralympic medals, and her 20th is biathlon GOLD!!!
Jesse Singal proving that anti-trans extremism is just like creationism. This is the sort of thing creationists do all the time. They accuse the experts of being biased because they have “a professional stake”

Politics doesn't always require compromise, but it always requires nuance.

'I was stunned': Ex-CIA senior official left 'speechless' by Marco Rubio's 'stupid' move
The U.S. military should NEVER be used to fight wars on religious grounds!
America is still, at heart, a war-weary nation and has been for a couple of decades now.
You are unbelievably sexy!
Laura Loomer's hateful rhetoric should have no place whatsoever in American society.
As a result, any attempt by Trump to present himself as a serious wartime leader comes across as unserious and awkward.
Trump is an absolutely AWFUL leader for a wartime situation. Trump isn't really a war hawk at heart (he has some isolationist/anti-war tendencies and prefers to negotiate with enemies), but he definitely has the bravado of a war hawk.
Unfortunately a war of this scale was likely to result in American deaths
My condolences to the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice
I’m also thinking of all those service members in the region
Let us hope this ends soon and they can come back home
• THE NEWS Paramount is trying to distance itself from a former CBS television personality who is publicly attacking the network's rightward turn. In recent months, multi-season Survivor contestant Eliza Orlins has shared posts criticizing some of the network's programming decisions, including casting pro-Trump contestants on Survivor, cancelling late-night host Stephen Colbert, and CBS News' choice to shelve a 60 Minutes piece on US deportation of Venezuelan migrants to a notorious El Salvadoran prison. Last year, Orlins posted an "exposé" on her Patreon page about Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick, noting her pro-Trump posts and previous skepticism of the Covid-19 vaccine. The post prompted LaGrossa Kendrick to respond in an Instagram Live rant: "Don't come at me with your political status when you're f*cking Jewish and your parents are 1% of the population of wealth." The posts on social media - and the backlash to LaGrossa Kendrick, who later apologized for her remarks — seemed to get the attention of CBS' parent company, Paramount, which requested a meeting with Orlins earlier this year, Semafor has learned. During the meeting, the network suggested that Orlins was violating its rules around trademarked branding and phrases on her Patreon. But the legal representatives also urged Orlins to respect other contestants, and implied that her political posts were harming other contestants. Paramount did not respond to a request for comment. A CBS source familiar with the conversation said the call focused on the trademark issue, and said the call was not the result of Orlins' political statements about the network.
TW: Antisemitism, bigotry
So Paramount is distancing itself from Eliza Orlins, but not Stephenie LaGrossa who was disgustingly antisemitic and seems pretty hateful all around. Did I get that right? 😒
Good riddance to that tyrant Khamenei.
However, I greatly fear that the United States is about to be dragged into another military quagmire thousands of miles away from home in violation of the War Powers Act. I am also horrified to learn of the inexcusable mass murder of schoolchildren in Iran.
No congressional approval, American troops being thrust into danger with no plan for what’s next.
In just the first two months of 2026, the US invaded one country to arrest and imprison their president (while pardoning another foreign president serving time in the U.S. for the exact same crime) and then started a war with another country, killed that country’s leader and immediate family.
Screenshot of a Tweet by Marjorie Taylor Greene, reposting a tweet that shows a street in Tehran and a bombed out school, with her commentary: "I did not campaign for this. I did not donate money for this. I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress. This is heartbreaking and tragic. And how many more innocent will die? What about our own military? This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be. Shame!"
It's a weird place to find myself agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene, and yet here we are. War, especially illegal, unjustified, pointless wars, will do that.
WOW! You are unbelievably sexy!
