Congress's Corruption Problem Just Got Worse

from What If... UNFILTERED · host Michael Breslin

The receipts are public. The convictions are real. The pardons are bipartisan. Today on What If Unfiltered, we walk through the worst congressional ethics offenders of 2023–2026 — Democrat and Republican, gold bars and stock options, foreign agents and fabricated loans — and ask the only question that actually matters: at what point does watching the corruption become participating in it? Sourced to DOJ, House Ethics Committee, OCE, Unusual Whales, Capitol Trades, Fortune, AP, NPR, Politico, NYT. 📊 Citizen Governance Index scorecard: https://whatifunfiltered.com ⭐ Support independent governance journalism: https://patreon.com/collection/2073273 • Patriot Tier — $12/mo — full interactive scorecard + all PDFs • Reports Tier — $5/mo — monthly PDFs #Congress #Ethics #Corruption #STOCKAct #WhatIfUnfiltered #CitizenGovernanceIndex
