A $200 million infusion of private capital. A charter to align leaders from every sector. A promise: we will not let the Great Salt Lake fail.

.@POTUS at the National Governors Association dinner: "We're going to save the Great Salt Lake... @GovCox said, 'We're losing water rapidly, and it's getting smaller, smaller, drier, drier.' You tell those people we're going to work on it really hard. We're going to save it."

Advanced nuclear is how we will keep the lights on in January, power our hospitals and industries, and secure abundant, affordable energy for the next generation. 🇺🇸 Serious states build serious infrastructure, and Utah has never been afraid to build. Thank you @abundanceinst for this timely op-ed. More here: deseret.com/opinion/2026/02/…

Utah’s own @HilaryKnight delivered when it mattered most. Her game-tying goal in the gold medal final forced overtime and made her the all-time U.S. leader in Olympic goals and points in women’s hockey. Proud to call her a Utahn. Congratulations on the gold. 🥇🇺🇸
ICE IN HER VEINS. 🦅🇺🇸 Hilary Knight scores the equalizer in the 58th minute off the assist from Laila Edwards. #WinterOlympics

Rebranding betting as a financial product doesn’t reduce the harm it causes, especially for young men. We’re ready to defend our laws in court and protect Utahns from companies that drive addiction, isolation, and serious financial harm. More here: deseret.com/utah/2026/02/17/…

The most powerful companies in human history are profiting from keeping kids hooked online. They knowingly drive addiction, isolation, anxiety, and depression, leaving less time for learning, playing, and connecting in real life. It’s time to stand up and give kids back their childhood.

Proud to recognize the Fry Street Quartet at the Governor’s Mansion artist awards. For over 20 years, they’ve helped shape Utah’s music community, mentoring students at Utah State University and sharing performances that stay with you long after the last note. Their advice for young musicians: dive in and get started. Utah has a lot to offer you.

A 5-megawatt nuclear microreactor was flown from California to Hill Air Force Base in Utah. This is what it looks like when America builds abundant, scalable energy at speed — for our economic strength and national security. Operation Gigawatt is underway. 🇺🇸

In Utah, it’s time to build. Today I met with our industry leaders to discuss what we can do to keep Utah the best place in the world to innovate and build. We’re making it easier for founders to start here, grow here, and stay here.

Mike, I appreciate you attempting this with a straight face, but I don’t remember the CFTC having authority over the “derivative market” of LeBron James rebounds. These prediction markets you are breathlessly defending are gambling—pure and simple. They are destroying the lives of families and countless Americans, especially young men. They have no place in Utah. Let me be clear, I will use every resource within my disposal as governor of the sovereign state of Utah, and under the Constitution of the United States to beat you in court.
I have some big news to announce…

The next-generation nuclear reactor has been successfully unloaded from the C-17 and left Hill Air Force Base. This is a historic milestone for President Trump's nuclear agenda.

This is good news for businesses and families in Utah who want reliable power, affordable rates, and a clear path forward. As PacifiCorp sharpens its focus, Utah is all-in on energy abundance, regulatory stability, and long-term partnerships. In Utah, it’s time to build. More here: wsj.com/finance/investing/po…

Today, we celebrate Presidents Day, honoring the legacies of Washington, Lincoln, and all who have led our nation. Utah has hosted 23 presidents throughout our history — each leaving a mark on our state’s story. Their legacy of leadership, service, and dedication to American values reminds us what makes our country great. 🇺🇸

Today marks a historic milestone for American energy. 🇺🇸 @Valaratomics' next-generation nuclear reactor was airlifted to Hill Air Force Base aboard three C-17s. Deployable nuclear is here. Through Operation Gigawatt, Utah is doubling energy production and creating an ecosystem to build advanced nuclear at speed and scale. Thank you @SecretaryWright, @ENERGY, and @DeptofWar for your leadership and partnership in making this possible. The future of American energy is being built here.
WATCH: @SecretaryWright delivers remarks ahead of first ever transport of a nuclear reactor by plane 🇺🇸
