People who have left public office aren't the only concern, either, there are also quite a few disturbing family connections these days.

For example, both of Chuck Schumer's daughters work in "government outreach" and "politics marketing" positions for big tech companies. One works at OpenAI, the other works at Meta. Not illegal, but not a good look and the sort of thing people should be concerned about.

(I'm glad the Democrats trounced the much worse Trump Republicans, but let's not pretend they are beyond reproach).
