Midterms have revived universal healthcare debate. Oregon is closer than any state. • Oregon Capital Chronicle
No state is closer to the goal of a single-payer, universal healthcare system than Oregon, which could vote as early as 2027.

(5/X) Thirty years from now, people will read that Trump started and lost a war in Iran for no reason, helped a Russian dictator kill Ukrainians, posted snuff films on social media, ran a multi-billion dollar crypto scam, and had his own personal army roaming the streets killing with impunity...

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Six more Republican senators joined Democrats in opposing Trump’s Russian diesel decision, bringing the bipartisan letter to 12 senators. They called the sanctions relief “a betrayal of the people of Ukraine” and “a gift to our adversary,” arguing Russian diesel revenue would help finance Moscow.

My focus group of swing voters rated Republicans as more likely to be white nationalists, cut deals with dictators, and kill civilians in the street. But they rated them above Democrats, whom they said had a problem with extremism.
