Top Salt Lake City Nightclub Responds to Allegations of Homophobic Incident That Led to “Traumatic Brain Injury”
A leading Salt Lake City nightclub is under fire after an alleged assault that one attendee says sent her to the hospital with a “traumatic brain injury.” The incident took place at Sky SLC, which hosted an event on June 6th that was sponsored by the Utah Pride Center.

US election: Republicans hold back Democrats, narrowing path to Senate control
The battle for power in the Senate tightened into Wednesday as Democrats picked up a seat in Colorado, but suffered a setback in Alabama, and Republicans held their own in high-profile races in South Carolina, Iowa, Texas and Kansas, dramatically narrowing the political map.

With several contests still too early to call, and one Georgia race heading to a January runoff, the final verdict is expected to drag on. Democrats gained a seat when ex-Gov. John Hickenlooper ousted GOP Sen. Cory Gardner in Colorado, a must-win to flip the Senate, but couldn’t hold on in Alabama, where forme...
