Plus: Romney wants to ban TikTok, food assistance benefits are gone and the American dream isnāt just about money. šŗšø
Good morning, Utah Today readers! Hereās your forecast: šØļø 10 ā 30Ā° in Logan | āļø 50% chance š¦ļø 27 ā 43Ā° in Salt Lake City | āļø 40% chance ā
35 ā 60Ā° in St. George Happy International Womenās Day! š„³ I have a few orders of business: āļø Despite my not being a mother, I always manage to get flowers on Motherās Day. I would like to take this moment to propose that today is a more appropriate day to get flowers for an amazing woman in your life (who may or may not be a mom). If any of you wanted to send me a bouquet of flowers today, I would NOT be mad about it. āļø True to form, Holly Richardson always writes the best columns about womenās issues. This year, she wrote a unique perspective on how ādigital povertyā affects women worldwide. š¤ Iām always fascinated by womenās history. Iām particularly interested in the ways women lived and went about their everyday lives. Also, after watching a particularly good ā and immaculately costumed ā docuseries by Dr. Lucy Worsley about the six wives of King Henry VIII, Iāve been fascinated by Queen Cathrine of Aragon. Apparently, she was a political genius. Tell me: Who are some historical women you find interesting? Also on our minds: What was in Brian Laundrieās āburn after readingā letter from his mother, food assistance benefits are going-going-gone and the American dream isnāt just about money. |

| | When Russia invaded Ukraine last year, Svitlana Miller wasnāt going to take it lying down. Friends and neighbors turned to her to ask where they could donate, but Miller wanted to be sure the money would get to where it needed to go, so she started To Ukraine With Love. The organization started out small but is now one of the most well-recognized nonprofits in the war-torn nation. The Idaho-based nonprofit hosted a benefit dinner in Utah Tuesday night for Utah donors, members of the local Ukrainian community and their loved ones. | Utah Sen.
