@MollyJongFast@maddow did her show on this one day this week. Hopefully you can catch it on YouTube. The info went to Russian intelligence so they could help boost Rump and damage Biden.
45. @Toyota, which after 1/6 said it would be "assessing our future PAC criteria," donated $1,000 to @andybiggs4az on 2/26
Biggs is the 18th objector to get cash from Toyota
42. @CawthornforNC received no corporate PAC money, but he doesn't need it. He's willing to say whatever is necessary to rile up Republican grassroots donors. He raised $1 million in Q1.
28. While this thread is highlighting corporate PACs that made donations to Republican objectors after 1/6, I want to note that, thus far, the filings show that the overwhelming majority of corporations are abiding by their pledges not to donate to the 147 objectors
13. After 1/6, the Koch political network said: "Lawmakers’ actions leading up to and during last week’s insurrection will weigh heavy in our evaluation of future support"
@KochIndustries then donated 105K to the @NRSC, which is chaired by @SenRickScott, one of the objectors
9. One end-around these corporate pledges are trade associations. For example, @GM and @WellsFargo pledged to suspend all political giving
But they are both members of @AFSA_DC, which donated $1K on 2/22 to @RepTimmons, who voted to overturn the election
4. A new FEC filing from @RepTimmons, who voted to overturn the election, reveals that he received a $1,000 donation from @Toyota on 3/22
He's the 7th member to object to the certification of the Electoral College and then receive a donation from Toyota.
1. Today is the most significant FEC deadline since the 1/6 insurrection.
We'll learn which corporations are keeping their promises and which are hoping people have stopped paying attention.
I'll be tracking the most significant filings in this thread.
Follow if interested.
@LateNightSeth Shame you only mentioned @emeraldfennell’s nominations for Promising Young Woman (167 of them, BTW), but not the 101 wins. How many Baftas just a few days ago? Hint: the biggest ones.
@LateNightSeth How many Baftas did @emeraldfennell win? Should you know that when you interview her? A generic “way to go on your nominations” four days after the show? Really??? (insert angry Amy REALLY here).
.@Maddow@maddowblog More about The Sackler Act, and “Empire of Pain” by Patrick Radden Keene please.
Ducking responsibility for the human suffering the Sacklers unleashed via OxyContin seems like a story in need of Rachel. #SacklersMadeOxyContin
