Why do we have to sit around and wait for a totally dysfunctional congress to pass a bill to help millions of Americans hugely suffering, going homeless, losing jobs and businesses and health? This is a national crisis. If there was ever a reason for an executive order, this is it. The president needs to rescue and help his citizens right now. This doesn’t happen in other first-world countries. Come on, politicians, do what you’re hired for. Find your heart.

sltrib.com is now free to access — no subscription required. We made this decision because we believe access to trustworthy, independent news shouldn’t depend on what you can afford — especially as misinformation and AI-generated content continue to rise.
Free to read doesn’t mean free to produce. Our reporters show up every day to ask hard questions and hold powerful institutions to account. That work takes resources.
