No Labels, the purportedly non-partisan organization that supports Republicans and conservative Democrats, is making preparations to promote a third-party presidential ticket in 2024.
Judd and Rebecca, bravo! I'm so glad you took on No Labels and hope you'll keep following the money on this story of what could be a dangerous spoiler for the 2024 election.
I've observed No Lapels "in action" since 2015 when they started their NH propaganda efforts. Yes, they are a complete fraud and lack any kind of transparency...despite their public pronouncements about campaign finance reforms and other democratic reforms.
But what are we to expect from Mark Penn and his wife, No Labels founder, Nancy Jacobson? Just more corporate smoke and mirrors that seeks to blur and confuse our public debates, rather than clarify. Give them hell Judd!
This is very interesting information and again another lesson that we must all keep our eyes on the real prize of controlling all three branches of our government.
It is obvious the this "No Labels" group are attempting to use our weariness over the continuous rejection of progressive changes that would help ALL of us.
The mere fact that this group of money people strongly supports the two democratic thugs Sinema and Manchin is enough for me to reject this group of filthy rich cry babies.
Really just how much money do they want from the rest of us???
Thank you for your thorough research and honest reporting. It is difficult to keep up with all that is going on and must be exhausting for you. Really appreciate your articles!
Judd, you expose the sleight of hand work of shadow Republican organizations. Their masquerade is what keeps me up at night ... how do we truly unmask these frauds who are intent on electing Trump again? Traditional media appear to be completely blind to these types of under-the-table and slimy actions of these nefarious organizations!
"Uh, why not both" he asked and chuckled at the absudity of of it all. A confederacy of f-ing dunces. All of them damaging this great country that alows them to do what it is that they do.
Adam, please allow me to add another possibility: No Labels buys ads and news media seem especially willing nowadays to prostitute their ethics and keep the ad money flowing.
Thank you for this eye opening report....i think youre right that the GQP Fascist Putin Puppets are using this group to take votes away from Biden /Democrats. I wish we could get rid of the stupid & obsolete Electoral College. We should be deciding the presidency by popular vote, like we do for all other elections. Hopefully the Orange Antichrist will be in prison before 2024.
I second your desire to abolish the Electoral College, which has no place in the democratic process. I also love your use of the term Orange Antichrist, a nomenclature I use frequently -- though now sometimes substitute "The Felony Defendant" -- but have never seen anyone else use.
I am so glad someone is writing about this so-called “No Labels”! I hope more media pick up on this, do more deep dives and find out more. Would be good to see if there are Russian oligarchs involved. When I read about them, my first thought was that this group’s candidate would hand Trump the Presidency. Even if they appear sincere, most are Republicans so why would I trust them?
Maybe now is finally the time someone will start shining a light on Brian Fitzpatrick. He is treated as some boring, innocuous politician, but he co-chairs No Labels and I suspect his success at consistently winning a purple area is a model for this attempt to get Trump back in office.
He votes against the GOP agenda only when it's safe when his vote won't make any difference, then uses those votes to pretend he is bipartisan. It is a carefully crafted lie.

Tag line for No Labels: Because the rich aren't rich enough....
Please keep the spotlight on this group--thank you for reporting on this.

Hope you don’t mind, but I propose a small edit to your otherwise on target comment. Rather than “democratic thugs,” I propose “turncoat thugs.”
I like it much better Paula! Sometimes my emotions get the best of me. I always welcome constructive critique !

That's an easy question to answer. All of it. Every last $0.01.
This is a sobering reminder of just how deep the money runs in an effort to undermine our Democracy. Great bit of journalism, Judd.

I can’t help but wonder how much of the $70 million was in rubles.
I think it's more likely that this is money from big U.S. corporations.

"Traditional media appear to be completely blind," or perhaps they believe it to be in THEIR best interests to look the other way?
Perhaps, but I think it's plain old ignorance. And laziness. The media loves the simple two-sidedness of R vs D.

Yes. It’s all about the $$$.

thanks Zach 😉
Is this why Joe manchin is now floating the idea of running for President? He’s so sleazy
He is one of the worst of the worst. It is like sleeping with a rattle Snake.
What?!?! Horror of horrors
I love to meet up with him (Joe M.) and play a game of "hard-ball."
Got a bat in my trunk at all times, just in case there's a "game."
Joe Lieberman is involved; that tells you all you need to know.
Ewww. Message received.
Fabulous. Another reason to be anxious/depressed about the upcoming election.
And work hard as hell to re-elect Joe!
My reaction, too. Things just keep twisting and turning to ensure that financial players have the upper hand. Never trusted Mark Penn.

Yes, you inspired me to look him up. He knows how to vote to appeal to both sides.
He votes against the GOP agenda only when it's safe when his vote won't make any difference, then uses those votes to pretend he is bipartisan. It is a carefully crafted lie.
A great report, Judd.
