Weekly Newsletter: The Dallas Morning News editorial reveals the playbook of shadowy groups undermining your voting rights. It’s time to fight back for the commonsense majority.
There has been an extraordinary amount of press interest in the nefarious campaign against our Unity Ticket and your voting rights. It’s a playbook that has been used over and over again against various causes, and we promise not to fill your inbox with all of it. But I do hope you'll read this editorial in The Dallas Morning News. It is worth your time.
It gets to the heart of why this is important and why it is consistent with our mission to keep fighting it -- because it was not an isolated occurrence. It has happened before and will continue happening until it is stopped.
We feel a bit like Dorothy in Oz. We havve had a rare chance to peer behind the curtain and see the characters who control which movements live or die: the scores of shadowy tax-exempt groups, run by malicious political operatives who do the bidding of undisclosed donors to crush political competitors, cashing huge checks for themselves in the process.
These groups wrap themselves in innocent sounding names and slick branding, but they traffic in shameless tactics with the confidence that they will never be found out.
The question is, what do we do with this knowledge? We could let it go. That would be the easy path. But how could we live with ourselves in future elections knowing that this is still happening to others, left, right, and center? That's not who we are or what we stand for.
We don't care about avenging the past -- we care about defending the future, about putting political power in the hands of the commonsense majority. That power has been taken from you. It’s time to get it back.
By Nancy Jacobson Before this November’s election, two scholars — one Democrat and one Republican — observed that neither party seemed interested in building a “national governing coalition.” Instead, each side appeases its own inflexible and often extreme interest groups, which helps them raise money and win primary elections at the cost of achieving real, lasting change.
When the history of the 2024 presidential election is written, we hope a chapter is reserved for what Democrats did to undermine the third-party movement No Labels. More details are coming out now, thanks in large part to a trademark lawsuit No Labels filed against a fake No Labels website that was designed to confuse voters about the real intent of the organization. That intent was to give voters in the American middle who are frustrated with the state of our politics a real choice beyond the binary of our two-party system.
Democrats declared war. Documents recently unsealed in a No Labels lawsuit against Democratic operatives reveal the length to which the party went to deny voters that option.
CNN I’m proud of my record in this Congress. I’ve been rated the fourth most bipartisan member of Congress. I’ve gotten ten bills passed, five signed into law in a divided government because I’m willing to compromise and work together. The fact is all of us have that responsibility. There's not going to be a lot of room for error here, especially in the early months with three members down. So, we're going to be at 217, most likely, or 218. And we'll need every vote to pass legislation which means we have got to compromise and work together. We're not going to get everything we want. Anybody who's ever been married understands the art of compromise, but you know, we got to work together for the American people.
There isn’t another congressional Democrat in the country who has managed to win more races in Trump territory than U.S. Rep. Jared Golden of Lewiston. Though Republican Donald Trump has cruised to easy wins in Maine’s hardscrabble 2nd Congressional District three times in a row – brushing aside Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020 and Kamala
Join us for a special No Labels Talks two-part series on tariffs, building on our latest No Labels Discussion Guide, which provides an accessible overview of this critical issue.
In part one, we’ll hear from Rana Foroohar, global business columnist for the Financial Times and one of today’s sharpest voices on global markets and policy. Join Rana and No Labels Chief Strategist Ryan Clancy as they explore Trump’s latest tariff announcements — a high-stakes game of geopolitical poker that could reshape supply chains and global trade alliances.
In part two, we’ll hear from Scott Lincicome, senior fellow at the Cato Institute and a leading voice in trade and economic policy. On Wednesday, December 18 at 1 PM ET, join Scott and Ryan as they dive into the case against tariffs, exploring their unintended consequences and why they might harm American consumers, businesses, and global trade.
By Sam Zickar Seven Senators are retiring at the end of this Congress, the most in a decade. That means we will see quite a few farewell addresses before the Congress ends in January. Likely inspired by George Washington’s famous farewell address – recited on the Senate floor each year – these speeches give Senators a chance to reflect on their time in the upper chamber, express gratitude for staff and colleagues, and outline how they would like their service to be remembered.
By Peyton Lofton As Democrats ponder what went wrong in 2024, they may find themselves competing on a tougher playing field in future elections. Every ten years, the Census redistributes Electoral College votes and House seats based on changes in population. The more a state grows, the more power it gets in Washington and vice versa.
We need your help, pitch in $3 or whatever you can to keep this movement growing. Your contributions go directly towards our efforts to support problem solving in America and bring common sense to Washington.
