Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

This young man has snagged a coveted entry-level job on the Iowa campaign trail: chair holder-upper for Mitt Romney. If he does his job well and Mitt doesn’t fall over too many times, he can expect to be promoted to door holder-opener. Who says social mobility is dead in America?

UPDATE: Turns out this is a real person! It’s Garrett Jackson, Romney’s body man for the past year. More here.
