DESCRIPTION:Corruption has always marred American politics and government. Once, it was 
 reflected in Tammany Hall politicians stuffing their pockets. Later, it was 
 felt in a money-drenched campaign finance system that enabled systemic 
 abuse rather than personal gain.\n\nNow we are living through a new era of 
 corruption, one that combines personal self-dealing and vast funds pouring 
 into the political process. Whether it is the crypto industry dominating 
 Congress, the world’s wealthiest man largely paying for the winning 
 presidential campaign, regulatory decisions used to pressure businesses, or 
 the government quashing a bribery investigation of a top official, it is a 
 fusion of public power and private gain.  \n\nLegal guardrails have 
 crumbled. What should come next?\n\nJoin us on Wednesday, October 15, at 
 noon PT/3 p.m. ET for a virtual discussion about how to eradicate American 
 corruption. \n \n\nSpeakers:\n\nJane Mayer, Staff Writer, The New 
 Yorker\n\nDaniel I. Weiner, Director, Elections and Government Program, 
 Brennan\n\nModerator: Michael Waldman, President and CEO, Brennan 
 Center\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2025/10/08/18880558.php
