More than a month after the Russian military began its assault on Ukraine, only a handful of American businesses have fully maintained their operations in Russia. One of those businesses is International Paper Company, which partners with Russian oligarch Zakhar Smushkin in a joint venture, Ilim.
Doesn't this all fall back on the [should be] illegal Citizens United decision? We need to take out the dark money and make politicians actually listen to their voters, rather than have them owing their job to corporate America. To not do this is, In My Humble Opinion, the end of the republic and the complete and final takeover of our government by the oligarchy, which at this point doesn't have far to go.
As devil’s advocate here, I see that most donations were prior to the invasion of Ukraine. We’ve yet to see whether the the MOC’s mentioned may be encouraged to return or donate to charity the donations exposed here on popular info.
someone in the comments seemed shocked that Schumer accepted donations. They all accept donations from anyone until public scrutiny calls them out. So thanks again to Judd
I hope that those listed here get on the band wagon and return the $. Already. When can citizens united be challenged...somebody can get it started....

Where does one even begin? I expect to see R’s in that list of politicos who keep dirty donations, but D’s?! And Schumer!?! WTF
