Today’s “News On Tap” is full as usual, but we’ll be struggling through the day, as Shawn’s pup Kiwi passed away suddenly over the weekend. Still, the news keeps flowing, so we’ve got plenty of updates to serve. From the latest on the Trump regime’s war crimes in the Caribbean, to Putin pulling the puppet strings on Trump again, to Trump & Republicans’ affordability crisis on the economy & health care. There’s also Trump’s many wars - wars in the courts, on immigration, & against LGBTQ people. Plus, there’s election news, & entertainment news too. And we’ve got Utah State Sen. Nate Blouin & our friend Brooklyn Dad Defiant stopping by. Read up and get informed today.

Today’s Special Guest
Utah State Senator Nate Blouin is looking to take his experience to the U.S. House, to fight for more of the things that Utahans of every political stripe want. He’s jumping into a competitive race for the likely Democratic seat focused on Salt Lake City, but he wants other Democrats in so-called “red” states to get active too. He’ll join us tonight to press his case why the solutions of tomorrow may not always come from the leaders we’ve had for years.
