I wrote about the Portland city council, where socialists are setting the agenda — a West Coast version of Zohran Mamdani.
The socialists say their policies will improve the lives of the working-class. The moderates and business interests have plenty of criticisms.

Trump said today that he might sent the National Guard into San Francisco to “clean” it up.
With crime down and a new mayor intent on not mentioning Trump, SF has stayed off Trump’s radar this year until now — a departure from its past as a conservative target.

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.

I don’t think Mike Brown was the biggest problem with this Kings team. I understand why we had to make a change, even if I don’t love it, but we still need to be aggressive with trades and improving the roster.
