In a recently leaked email from dark money group No Labels, director Margaret White reminds her donors that the critical reconciliation bill, backed by Congressional Democrats, can still be killed, while she praises Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) for her “heroic efforts” in the task.
She and Manchin hold an insane and outsized amount of power in the Senate, but the scarier thing is what will happen if/when the Republicans retake the Senate in 2022.
Excellent - thank you for diving deeper into what is really going on here. Recently I read a piece on Manchin’s “blind” trust that his son runs involved with the energy industry and again one must say, personal greed over the greater good flourishes in congress.
How is it that, even though it takes so little detective work to find out where the bodies are buried, Chuck Schumer can't whip these two scurilous malefactors into line? If anybody in the GOP tried to break rank like this, Mitch McConnell would crucify them. The Democratic party needs to get past the flawed notion that behaving in a dignified way is more important than furthering an agenda that would help the whole country.
Excellent article, Amee. This is the type of information needed when "something looks funny." Any reliable info such as what you have provided can be used to destroy a politician's career and/or credibility. Unfortunately, this is politics and nothing more. Hopefully in the future may everyone work together to bring the role of politics back to its honorable place in our society. Right now, it's infested with greed, with power hungry people, the lowest of the low....all at the expense of the American people.

We need to get her OUT!

There is no way to reconcile Dark Money with democracy.

Just a little detail: Rob Portman is a Republican.
Thanks so much, I have made that correction.
