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.
Now 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.
Legal guardrails have crumbled. What should come next? Join us for a virtual discussion about how to eradicate American corruption.
Speakers: Jane Mayer, Chief Washington Correspondent, The New Yorker // Daniel I. Weiner, Director, Brennan Center Elections and Government Program // Moderator: Michael Waldman, President and CEO, Brennan Center

PODCAST: Supreme Court Preview
([link removed])
The Supreme Court’s new term began October 6th, bringing a slate of cases that could accelerate troublesome trends and produce landmark decisions. One case implicates how the Voting Rights Act ensures fair representation in state legislatures. Another takes up the controversy over the president’s asserted power to unilaterally impose tariffs. In our new podcast episode, hosted in partnership with the Kohlberg Center on the U.S. Supreme Court, experts and longtime Court watchers discuss the major cases on the docket and explain what the outcomes could mean for the future of American democracy.
