Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.
You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.
It says so right in the Constitution.

for the love of God - I really wish the elite liberal litigation establishment (if there is such a thing) - would give up the fantasy that using Republican legal doctrine will somehow convince this MAGA #SCOTUS to rule for then. It's the same fantasy of bipartisanship w see from Cong Dem leaders.
the attempt by the attorney representing Rebecca Slaughter to use Trump v. United States for good is going sideways hard and it is making me even more confident in my opinion that there's no real upside to using Republican legal doctrine

If the Democratic Party leaders in DC were serious about taking on Republican/MAGA culture of corruption, they certainly wouldn't tolerate it in their own ranks.
Primary all party leaders in Congress is preference, but failing that primary those who decline to embrace anti-corruption is a good fallback.

There is no greater need on the center-left and in the center than unity against AI (or crypto) bailouts.
If Trump does it, he has to do it alone with his oligarch pals, no Democratic support ala Pelosi/Obama in 2008 or Biden & Larry Summers in 2023 (SVB).
