House Republicans race against Senate Republicans to come up with a budget 
Republican leaders in the House are now racing against the Senate to make progress on the budget. This comes after the House GOP struggles to come to a consensus on financial priorities. And the Senate? They aren't wasting any time either. We begin today's show in our nation's capital, where Senate Republicans are preparing to meet with Trump to discuss their own budget reconciliation. 

Vice Pres. JD Vance assigned to work on potential TikTok sale 
President Trump has continually promised to save TikTok and keep it accessible in the U.S. Following his assurances, TikTok came back online. Since then, however, it's been a little quiet as to the future of the social media platform. The Inside Sources hosts share new updates, including Vice President JD Vance’s assignment to oversee a potential sale of TikTok. 

On the Hill 2025: More on a proposed constitutional amendment on initiatives 
In 1900, the Utah Constitution was amended to allow for ballot initiatives. Since then, 7 have passed. But of those 7, only 2 have received 60% of the vote -- enough to be a kind of supermajority. Now, one state lawmaker hopes to make it a rule that initiatives that result in a tax increase must receive 60% of the vote to pass. Inside Sources hosts Adam Gardiner and Rusty Cannon explain. 

On the Hill 2025: Legislation that adds criminal punishments for defacing political signs 
Our special coverage of Utah's Legislative Session continues this segment with a look at political advertisements. Specifically, the bill we want to talk about -- HB 292 -- addresses situations when people remove, damage, destroy, or add to political signs; it also discusses the location of where people put signs. The bill's sponsor, State Representative Jordan Teuscher joins us to talk more about it. 

DOGE continues digging into the federal government 
DOGE... it's still making waves as its people get deeper and deeper into the inner workings of Washington and the Federal Government. We've already talked about some of the concerns folks -- mainly Democrats -- have raised, but now several lawsuits are trying to restrict DOGE's access to "sensitive information." Adam and Rusty share their thoughts about DOGE’s movements. 

Elon Musk becomes latest target of angry Democrats 
Democrats have been trying to reframe their messaging since the election -- we talked a bit about that yesterday on Inside Sources. Part of this revamped messaging is turning their focus from President Trump to Elon Musk. In effect, he's become their new "boogeyman." Is this focus shift going to help Democrats or hurt them? Inside Sources looks at both sides. 

Is Pres. Trump going against the Republican Party orthodoxy? 
You've heard us talk about this before on the show -- whether Donald Trump is a true conservative or just a populist. Either way, he's the face of the Republican Party. And some have criticized the beginning of his presidency as a kind of "power grab,” going against the traditional small-government values of the GOP. Are those criticisms warranted? The Inside Sources give their takes. 

On the Hill 2025: Is it ‘Utahn’ or ‘Utahan’? 
Each state has a list of state symbols -- things that represent the state and its people. Utah has some unique ones, like the honeybee as our state insect. Did you know Utah has an official state cooking pot? It's the Dutch oven. Or how about the state vegetable? There's technically two: one is the Spanish sweet onion and the historic one is the sugar beet. Anyway, there's not an official demonym -- what you call a person from Utah. State Sen. Dan McCay proposes we finally make "Utahn" official.
