So why is it that no level of corruption in the Trump administration — no matter how brazen or how high up it goes, from Tom Homan, the White House border czar, to other members of Trump’s Cabinet — seems to ever stick?

It shouldn’t have to be “good politics” for leaders to do the right thing—especially in this case, where there is an ongoing genocide. But even though the politics should make standing up against Israel an easy choice, Democrats are still reluctant to change. Here's why: www.vox.com/politics/421...
Democratic voters have turned against Israel. Why won’t their leaders?
Democratic voters sympathize much more with Palestinians than Israelis, but you wouldn’t know that from looking at the party establishment.

There’s also a gap between what Democrats say and what they do. In recent weeks, more Dems have made statements about the famine Israel engineered in Gaza, but just this month, party leaders met with Netanyahu—a man who is charged with using starvation as a weapon of war and other crimes.
