Just remember, everyone, we need to be bipartisan. It’s really important to work with the guy who thinks the deep state made his brother punch him in the face.
May I introduce one of the early entries into the 2026 OR GOP primary for Governor? At first glance I thought maybe this was a “Birds are not real,” Andy Kauffman-esque piece of performance art. But from what I can tell, this person is for real.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Let's assume you were someone who DID want to privatize all public services.
Why would you pick the guy who went bankrupt 6 times (including casinos) and the guy who broke Twitter and is blowing up a rocket over the Caribbean every other week?

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.
We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.
This is inhumane and illegal.
