Washington, D.C. – MoveOn Political Action released a new ad highlighting how twice-impeached Donald Trump, facing a myriad of indictments, including attempts to overturn the 2020 election, should be disqualified from running for president. Despite the four indictments and 91 criminal charges, the other GOP primary candidates and the MAGA Complicit Caucus in Congress continue to enable Trump’s attacks on our elections and democratic values.  “Trump was responsible for a deadly insurrection against our country and should be ineligible to run for president again,” said MoveOn Political Action Executive Director…

Washington, D.C. – Following twice-impeached President Trump’s fourth criminal indictment, MoveOn Political Action is calling on No Labels to disavow Trump. In addition to the group’s lack of action surrounding Trump’s arrests, No Labels has yet to admonish Trump for his role in the January 6 insurrection and even granted him their “Problem Solver” Award in 2016. No Labels has been dishonestly arguing that any opposition to its bid is anti-democratic, yet they have been conspicuously absent in disavowing Trump’s attempts to overthrow the election and speaking to the fact that their third-party effort…

Washington, D.C. – MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting penned an opinion piece in MSNBC with Third Way’s Executive Vice President Matt Bennett outlining how high the stakes are to stop No Labels and get to the bottom of who is bankrolling their dangerous third-party efforts. As reported by Axios, MoveOn and Third Way are also calling on lawmakers to join the growing list of Democratic leaders who have publicly denounced No Labels.  “It’s hard to imagine how the No Labels plan could be more favorable to Republicans if…

Joe Lieberman Weighs the Trump Risk

risk, Lieberman, weighs, Trump0 comment

Joe Lieberman wants to make one thing clear. “The last thing I’d ever want to be part of,” the former Connecticut senator and onetime vice-presidential nominee told me by phone last week, “is bringing Donald Trump back to the Oval Office.” Democrats have their doubts. Lieberman and his former party have been warring for years, ever since he won a fourth Senate term, in 2006, as an independent after Connecticut Democrats dumped him in a primary. Suddenly liberated, Lieberman endorsed the Republican John McCain over Barack Obama in 2008 and…

How Jason Aldean Explains Donald Trump (And Vice Versa)

Donald, Trump, Jason, Aldean, Versa, vice, Explains0 comment

The commercial success of the country star Jason Aldean’s ode to small-town vigilantism helps explain the persistence of Donald Trump’s grip on red America.   Aldean’s combative new song, “Try That in a Small Town,” offers a musical riff on the same core message that Trump has articulated since his entry into politics: that America as conservatives understand it is under such extraordinary assault from the multicultural, urbanized modern left that any means necessary is justified to repel the threat. In Aldean’s lyrics and the video he made of his song,…

Why Trump Might Just Roll to the Presidential Nomination

This should be a window of widening opportunity and optimism for the Republicans chasing Donald Trump, the commanding front-runner in the 2024 GOP presidential race. Instead, this is a time of mounting uncertainty and unease. Rather than undermine Trump’s campaign, his indictment last week for mishandling classified documents has underscored how narrow a path is available for the candidates hoping to deny him the nomination. What should have been a moment of political danger for Trump instead has become another stage for him to demonstrate his dominance within the party.…
