    Every Iowa news outlet that ran photos of college students packing into bars should be loading up this one for a story today. There's no excuse for it.

    Ten years from now, some former Warren Iowa staffer will still have the deflated massive Bailey in their garage, not really knowing what to do with it but never willing to get rid of it

    Wow, Chuck Grassley just lectured college grads/students over student loan relief by talking about how he worked while he was in college in the 1950s

    Release the poll or don’t, I think we’ve got a pretty good idea already of who’s ahead

    I organized SW Iowa for Hillary in 07/08. My memory is a little hazy, but I’m pretty sure this turnout for @PeteButtigieg in July 2019 is just as large if not larger than the crowd for Hillary about a month out from the caucus (Hillary got her best % in Page County in 07)
