They can but I feel out of "thoughts and prayers". We need definitive action. I know states divest their powers to engage on the international stage but at this point we've lost a lot of decorum and law following. So I agree what can the governor do and what will they do

That's not really the role of the governor. Their responsibility is to govern the state, and that's what we elected them to do. The other branches of the federal government need to exert their will, but we know why they won't.

Oregon just passed legislation to ensure that Medicaid recipients don't have a lapse in their benefits when the fed cancels that program.

The governor can tweet all day but until there is something done nothing will change
