Third Way Pushes Supreme Court Term Limits and Ethics Code Into 2028 Democratic Agenda

The center-left think tank Third Way has released a proposal urging Democratic presidential candidates to champion 18-year term limits and an enforceable ethics code for Supreme Court justices. The plan seeks to bridge the ideological gap within the party, arguing that moderate reform is necessary to address declining public trust. While polling shows broad support for term limits, legislative progress remains stalled due to the current partisan gridlock in Congress.

Moderates weaponize Hasan Piker as a 2028 litmus test

Vox's Astead Herndon outlines how Hasan Piker’s rise as a progressive streamer has become a political liability for some Democrats. A March op-ed from Third Way critics and the subsequent distancing of candidates (e.g., Nixon, El‑Sayed) illustrate a strategy to corral Piker’s influence and use him as an early litmus test for the 2028 primary. Polls show most voters haven’t heard of him, suggesting the backlash is as much about setting norms and gatekeeping as about the man himself, with insiders aiming to curb his reach while still leveraging left‑leaning energy in the party. A separate NJ interview also touches on privacy backlash around surveillance tech, reflecting a broader climate of technocratic scrutiny.

Democratic Donor Group Secretly Opposes No Labels

The Democracy Alliance, a powerful network of liberal donors, is privately working to prevent No Labels from launching a third-party presidential run, fearing it could act as a spoiler and help Donald Trump or another Republican candidate defeat President Joe Biden in 2024. The Democracy Alliance met with Third Way and MoveOn to discuss No Labels and urged leading donors and fundraisers to discourage support for the organization. No Labels has secured access to the ballot in multiple states and has a $70 million budget for a potential third-party effort. Critics argue that winning as a third-party candidate is not feasible and are hoping to convince No Labels not to proceed with their plan.
