  • U.S. deficit hits nearly $1 trillion, jumping more than 25% in the last year.
  • Romney finds himself increasingly isolated by Republicans after criticism of Trump.

Congratulations to Stan Rasmussen who was the first reader to correctly identify Rep. Patrice Arent as the current member of the Utah Legislature who once served as a staff attorney for lawmakers.
