Excellent column today, as always.

I don't remember whether you have written about the No Labels movement, now becoming clear to me as a right-wing funded effort that may seriously undermine us. This Wikipedia entry is damning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Labels), including this excerpt:

"According to The Daily Beast, by the end of the 2018 cycle, No Labels' super PACs received more than $11 million from fifty-three donors, most of whom come from the financial industry.[35]

The New Republic reported in 2023 that No Labels has received major funding (along with nearly two dozen new donors) from Harlan Crow, a leading donor to Republican and conservative causes.[9]

Critics of the organization have suggested that No Labels in practice works to advance the financial interests of the wealthy.[35][36][37] This has been echoed in critiques that the group caters to the special interests that drive partisanship (instead of promoting bipartisanship)[18] with Frank Rich opining, "what America needs is not another political organization with a toothless agenda and less-than-transparent finances."[38]"

Your thoughts will be appreciated, and/or a reminder of previous writings.
