A brief recap of ‘Tampongate,’ the week’s strangest controversy on Capitol Hill

All’s well that ends well — or maybe it’s a case of much ado about nothing — in an odd dispute that roiled Capitol Hill this week: “Tampongate.” It started when Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney of New York, a candidate for New York attorney general, claimed that the Committee on House Administration has a “discriminatory policy” that bars members’ offices from buying tampons for use by female staff and visitors. The committee, led by Republicans, manages the daily operations of the House, including overseeing administrative functions. Here’s his story. “Earlier this [week], my office got an email saying that we couldn’t use our funds to buy tampons. . . .

Utah Jazz players have heard criticism of boycott, but they point to progress already made — with more to come

While the Utah Jazz sat out of Thursday’s game against the Denver Nuggets, just as the rest of the NBA did the day before, they heard the criticism. They heard fans who didn’t understand what they were doing it for. They heard the fans who said it wouldn’t bring about change.

But at the end of the day, the little kid in the inner city, a little kid who was going five miles over the speed limit, should not fear for his life. Sleeping in your own home, you shouldn’t have to fear for your life because of where you live. You shouldn’t be behind the eight-ball because of where you grew up, education wise.

Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds hopes LDS leaders will see ‘Believer,’ his film about Mormon LGBT youths

Park City • Rock star Dan Reynolds was once a Mormon missionary, and in a documentary that premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, he declares a new mission: to urge leaders of his faith to stop shaming their LGBT members. “A determined Mormon is a scary thing, I can tell you that, because they don’t stop,” Reynolds, singer for the band Imagine Dragons, declares in “Believer,” a documentary that received a standing ovation from some 500 Sundance attendees at its first screening late Saturday night. The movie will receive a broader audience this summer, director Don Argott told the audience after the film. “Believer” was picked up before the festival by HBO Documentary Films, with plans for a theatrical release this summer and a debut on HBO after that. There’s another audience Reynolds hopes will watch the movie: the leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “I hope that [ LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson ] and the apostles take the time to watch...
