27%. That's the percent of people who showed for the special election for Iowa House Seat 100. Democrats lost by less than 200 votes. Don't let anyone tell you the right strategy is to chuck out all activism and not put on a fight!

Also, this one is fantastic!

From Yale's non partisan policy research center:
"DOGE's cuts to IRS enforcement will lead to revenue declines of at least $350 billion."
So much for government efficiency.

JD Vance at the Kennedy Center tonight. Not the warmest reception.

History Extra for September 7, 2024 In the late nineteenth century, as workers tried to reclaim power from the industrialists who had bought control over the U.S.
