1. Last week, @Starbucks CEO @HowardSchultz said his employees are pushing for unionization & better working conditions “because Gen Z has a different view of the world” These young employees, Schultz suggests, don't realize how good they already have it https://t.co/WtVzjeIKXJ — PolitiTweet.org

1. In an interview, @Starbucks CEO @howardschultz said his employees are pushing for unionization and better working conditions “primarily because Gen Z has a different view of the world.” These young employees, Schultz suggested, don't realize how good they already have it. — PolitiTweet.org

7. Corporate donors to @RepLoudermilk (who voted to overturn the election) since January 6, 2021: @ATT @EY_US @PNCBank @HomeDepot @UPS @KochIndustries @Delta @aflac @WellsFargo @publix @pwc @discover @Budweiser @Toyota — PolitiTweet.org

6. Somehow, @RodneyDavis obtained a letter from the Capitol Police claiming that a tour of the Capitol complex where a man is taking pictures of security checkpoints and tunnels is not "suspicious." I'd like to learn more about how and why Davis obtained this letter — PolitiTweet.org

4. In the video on January 6, the man featured his "leader" who had attached a weapon to the end of an American flag. https://t.co/8rIpw3SfVN — PolitiTweet.org

4. The next day, the man who took photos of security checkpoints on Loudermilk's tour recording himself marching toward the Capitol as he threatened to "take out" Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, Nader and other member of Congress — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. That the tour took place in House office buildings and not the Capitol itself is immaterial. The office buildings are connected to the Capitol through a network of tunnels. If you were trying to access the Capitol on 1/6, going through the House office buildings was an option — PolitiTweet.org

2. In the video, you can see a man in Loudermilk's group taking photos of security checkpoints and tunnels. https://t.co/nPHiIKaeW1 — PolitiTweet.org

As a reminder, two United States Senators (@SenGillibrand and @SenLummis) went on national TV LAST WEEK and said it was a good idea for people to invest their retirement savings in crypto https://t.co/Sea1dAvi36 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

It's been a couple of days and there is still nothing from Celsius on when or if people will be able to get access to their crypto. This is a company that was promising customers 18% interest. But don't worry, they are acting "in the interest of our community." — PolitiTweet.org

8. Here is something Armstrong tweeted 4 days ago! https://t.co/Q00lPS1m5R — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@brian_armstrong 7. @brian_armstrong says he had no choice but to make all these layoffs "to ensure we stay healthy during this economic downturn." Armstrong will weather the "economic downturn" in the $133 million home that he bought just six months ago https://t.co/cuK6kbxdDk — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

6. In other words, @brian_armstrong sent an email informing people that 1100 people would be fired and have their access cut off immediately because he's worried they are criminals. That's how he views his own employees. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

5. But he is only doing this for their own good! "Given the number of employees who have access to sensitive customer information, it was unfortunately the only practical choice, to ensure not even a single person made a rash decision that harmed the business or themselves." — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. Discovering you've been laid off because you have been cut off from your email sucks, but rest assured @brian_armstrong feels bad about it: "I realize that removal of access will feel sudden and unexpected, and this is not the experience I wanted for you." — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. So you might think @coinbase employees will be refreshing their email. Nope, that won't work: "If you are affected, you will receive this notification in your personal email, because we made the decision to cut access to Coinbase systems for affected employees." — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@brian_armstrong 2. @brian_armstrong sent an email to staff, which he subsequently posted on Medium, announcing the 1100+ layoffs and telling the recipients: "In the next hour every employee will receive an email from HR informing if you are affected or unaffected by this layoff." — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. CoinBase CEO @brian_armstrong not only treats his employees like absolute garbage but so little self-awareness that he details his disgraceful conduct publicly Today, he laid off 18% of his staff (1100 people!) OK. But here is how he did it 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. McCarthy reinforcing election fraud lies, and his refusal to cooperate with the January 6 committee, has had no political consequences. He continues to be financially backed by many corporations who condemned January 6 as an attack on democracy https://t.co/0Ot7yeEopW — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. @kevinomccarthy, who many expect to be the next House speaker, refused to acknowledge that Biden won legitimately LAST WEEK Instead he said there were “a lot of problems” with election administration, hyping an arrest that had absolutely nothing to do with the 2020 election https://t.co/CIKTBS7kSR — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. Yesterday’s January 6 Committee hearing described an extraordinary scene: A visibly drunk Giuliani convincing Trump to ignore other advisors, claim massive voter fraud and declare victory. 18 months later, the GOP is still siding with drunk Giuliani https://t.co/0Ot7yeEopW — PolitiTweet.org
