|  | Not Just Another Morning in America |
| Americans are “fed up with the divisive politics and the extremes of both parties.” Those who live in the center, your friends and neighbors, “are ignored in deference to the demands of the loudest and angriest few who seem hellbent on tearing America apart.” When so many of us “feel that neither party is delivering for them, the result is unrestrained toxic politics, rabid tribalism, and hatred of the other.” You know all this to be true, and so do I. And so does Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, our National Co-chair, who took the No Labels message of unity and cooperation to the national stage in a marquee speech at the Reagan Library this week. Governor Hogan’s remarks got a lot of press coverage and rightfully so: A Republican governor with sky-high approval ratings after nearly eight years running a deep Blue state during challenging times for the nation is someone to be listened to. We need leaders like Larry Hogan who push against the dangerous currents that have amplified loud and angry voices. |
|  | In his remarks, Governor Hogan said that in a time of massive challenges – inflation, pandemic, chaos at the border and abroad – we must “stand against the extremes and for the majority of Americans.” It’s a simple idea, and an obvious one, but one that so many of our leaders have lost as they compete for Twitter retweets and talk-show bookings. Is holding office about leadership or likes? Coming together or collecting clicks? “Neither side really seems to want to make progress,” said Governor Hogan. “They’d rather make demands and win arguments on Twitter.” But nobody really wins those arguments – and they don’t get the people’s business done. If you agree with Governor Hogan – and with us – that progress should be prioritized over partisanship, stand with him and send a letter to your representatives in Washington now. |
| | As Governor Hogan told the nation, “I don’t come from the performative art school of politics. I come from the get-to-work and get-things done school of politics, and I’ll work with anyone who wants to do the people’s business.” |
|  | Let’s all join Governor Hogan. It’s time to get to work. Margaret White

|  |  | To Save Their Party, Democrats Should Return to the Center
By Joe Lieberman Democrats are in trouble because they have strayed from the pledge President Biden made to the American people during the 2020 campaign, and articulated so hopefully in his inaugural address, to establish a stable, moderate, bipartisan government in Washington, one that would stand in sharp contrast with that of his predecessor. |

 | America Needs a Return to First Principles
By Tunku Varadarajan In their paper, Mr. Cogan and Mr. Warsh write that “America’s constitutional design and civil order were designed to incline the individual toward good.” The nation’s commitment to its foundational principles, they say, “has yielded unrivaled economic gains.” |

| | Five Facts on Twitter Censorship and Targeting of the Right
By No Labels Over the past few years, Twitter — once a nearly unfettered place of free expression online — has become more aggressive in censoring political messages. This censorship has often seemed to be arbitrary, although on many occasions the platform has appeared to target people on the right. Both Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey and new buyer Elon Musk have deemed Twitter’s practices as antithetical to the microblogging service’s mission. Many conservatives are now distrustful of the platform. |

| |  | Bipartisanship Falls in Congress; House Sets Record Lows
By Dan Diller & Jay Branegan The Bipartisan Index measures how often a member of Congress introduces bills that attract co-sponsors from the other party, and how often they in turn co-sponsor a bill introduced from across the aisle. The rankings and scores issued today cover legislative activity for 2021, the first year of the Biden presidency, and the first time since 2010 that Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. |
