In the era of Trump, Democrats don't have a lot of leverage to influence policy. Republicans have a near-historic majority in governors' mansions and state legislatures, and they control all of Washington.

But there are still some areas of the nation where the political left can maneuver virtually untouched. Oregon is one of them, and The Fix sat down with the state's Democratic governor, Kate Brown, to talk about how she approaches policy in the Trump era and why Oregon seems to have gone out of its way to make itself one of the most anti-Trump states in the union. You can see the interview in the video above.

As just one of six states controlled entirely by Democrats (compared to 25 controlled by Republicans), Oregon has launched a combative approach to legislating in a Trump presidency.

3. Wrong. The Bundys invaded oregon from Mormonville, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.

And we sent them packing back to their backwards wards.
