Description

The battle to become President Joe Biden's top defender on Capitol Hill
is on.

With Republicans sharpening their investigative knives for Biden (this
week, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy released a list of more than a
dozen lines of inquiry into the administration), the race to succeed
outgoing Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) as the top Dem on the House
Oversight Committee raging at a fever pitch. 

Who will it be?

Plus, deputy editor Zack Stanton chats with Daniel Lippman's major
investigation into the conduct of No Labels, the centrist group that has
embarked on an ambitious $70 million project laying the groundwork for a
unity ticket presidential campaign in 2024. But the story is different
inside the walls of the organization. “Interviews with 14 former
employees — including five who left in the last few months — and four
other people familiar with No Labels reveals a cutthroat culture, one
where staffers are routinely fired or pushed out, have little trust in
management, and believe the workplace environment can be difficult for
minority and female colleagues."
