Republican Alaska governor could face recall campaign over using state money for political mailers, Superior Court rulesMike Dunleavy, the Republican governor of Alaska, could be facing recall in a special election after a state judge ruled that the effort to oust him could move forward on Friday. The recall is because he promised his trump supporting followers that he would pay them a “full PFD”...$3000. Which is socialism.

Not really on topic I know sorry
