WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.

    Thank you for the insight about the article. Thought better of Cuban (crypto bro and all, seems like a good guy at heart). Not a fan of Manchin, Senima or the idea of a spoiler candidate. Just wanted to validate the statement as it wasn’t clear if the second half of OPs comment were actual people in the group or just a list senators of ill reprieve. Hopefully they just steal moderate republican votes.
