Back from the kick off of Restoring the Good in Utah. Heading into the studio tomorrow morning for a show lots of people in Utah watch!

Why did you kill the bipartisan border bill that would have allowed the President to shut down the border and invested billions in border security?

Oh right. Because Trump told you to keep the border a mess because it helps you guys politically.

Awesome news.

Today Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox and I will convene our first roundtable on Restoring the Common Good in Salt Lake City.

Listen to Gov. Cox talk about our plan to step back from the rigid partisan fights and ask questions about the roots of and the solutions for American anxiety and unhappiness.

A Senate Democrat and a Republican governor are teaming up to tackle the U.S. happiness deficit, one conversation at a time.

The two will host a series of forums that will focus on how to “restore the value of the common good to American life.” trib.al/utdhJ7R

“The broad social and political disaffection [across America] begs for a diverse set of leaders to spark a conversation about what makes a truly good life and why this life feels so inaccessible to many Americans.”

The U.S. Chamber’s lawsuit to stop the non-compete ban references my bill to ban non-competes as evidence the FTC doesn’t have the power.

Nonsense.

The FTC totally has the authority to do this. My bill would just make sure the policy is permanent.

Years ago, I introduced a bill to ban non-compete clauses, which are used to keep wages down by stopping (mostly low income) workers from switching jobs.

So glad the FTC has moved forward with a ban. The average worker salary increase will be $500. A big deal!

I want to explain to you why I'm travelling out to Utah this week to launch a new initiative with Republican Governor Spencer Cox on Restoring the Common Good.
