Trump administration hitting ‘pause’ on several federal grants, loans 
Congressional Democrats are furious today, after the Trump administration ordered federal agencies to block disbursements of several kinds of grants and loans. President Trump's executive orders say agencies must root out "Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies." Inside Sources begins with a discussion and clarification on what’s covered by this pause. 

DOJ fires lawyers who previously prosecuted now-President Trump 
Trust -- it's an important thing in any relationship, especially the relationship between lawyers. And it's a big reason why Department of Justice officials fired several lawyers who had previously prosecuted the now-President Donald Trump; they said the president could not trust them. Inside Sources digs into the relationship between the DOJ and the presidency. 

On the Hill 2025: Perspective ‘For’ HB267, banning public unions from collective bargaining 
Passing yesterday in the Utah House, HB267 is now headed to the State Senate. The bill would make changes to how Utah’s public labor unions interact with public agencies in the states, especially around collective bargaining. State Representative Jordan Teuscher is running the bill and joins Inside Sources to explain some of the nuances of the bill and clear up some misconceptions about it. 

On the Hill 2025: Perspective 'Against’ HB267, banning public unions from collective bargaining 
HB267, Public Sector Labor Union Amendments did pass in the Utah House, but it had bipartisan opposition; 19 Republicans joined all the Democrats in voting against the bill. Why? Is this a sign of potential troubles in the Senate? House Minority Leader Angela Romero joins Inside Sources to explain why she – and House Democrats – stand against this bill and what it’s trying to do. 

A Utahn’s perspective on the House GOP issues conference 
House Republicans have been meeting in Florida for a multi-day retreat to discuss priorities and issues for the next year. President Trump joined them all yesterday, outlining a few key things he wants the House to focus on. Utah Congresswoman Celeste Maloy is there at the issues conference and calls into Inside Sources to share some insights into what's happening. 

Sen. Warren joins Trump, Musk in saying there’s wasteful government spending 
Here's something you may not have had on your 2025 political bingo card: Senator Elizabeth Warren being on the same side of an issue with President Trump and Elon Musk. But it's happened! In a new op-ed for Fox News, Democratic Senator Warren says she agrees with Trump and Musk that there's too much wasteful government spending. The Inside Sources hosts explain how the devil is truly in the details. 

On the Hill 2025: Legislation addressing higher education 
Several Republican lawmakers are joining their Democratic colleagues, coming out against budget cuts for Utah's public colleges and universities. They say they're worried the cuts will result in the discontinuation of liberal arts programs more than other programs. Inside Sources discusses their opinions while also chatting with State Representative Karen Peterson about other higher education-related bills she’s working on.
