Number of congressional plaintiffs — all Democrats — who have joined a lawsuit against President Trump accusing him of violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which requires the president to get the OK from Congress before accepting foreign gifts.

If the courts take a pass or the GOP uses its majority to approve some sort of legislation allowing foreign states to use Trump properties, then at least you have something other than Russophobia to run on in the midterms.
