Is Clarity's Ethics Language on a Knife's Edge?: DEX in the City

Description

Two Republican senators are opposed. One is incapacitated. That leaves the Clarity Act needing ten Democratic votes for cloture, and Salman Banaei has spent the last two weeks on the Hill counting them. The General Counsel of Plume maps for Vy Le and Jessi Brooks where the ethics language stands with Ruben Gallego, Thom Tillis, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Adam Schiff, why Democrats want state attorneys general policing it, and what the fight is really about: the president's memecoin.
