I wrote about the Portland city council, where socialists are setting the agenda — a West Coast version of Zohran Mamdani.

Trump said today that he might sent the National Guard into San Francisco to “clean” it up.

Scoop: Former Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak is weighing a 2026 comeback and a rematch with GOP Gov. Joe Lombardo, who ousted him in 2022. He’s conducting polling as he considers.
If he runs, he’d likely face Aaron Ford, NV AG, in a Dem primary.
