3. The CEO of TJX, the parent company of @tjmaxx, @marshalls, & other brands, described "inflationary price increase[s]" as "a major opportunity" The CEO said its record profits in 2021 (3.29B) were "really driven by a large part by the pricing strategy" https://t.co/PblWOMf2tO — PolitiTweet.org

2. In 2021, after-tax corporate profits increased 37%, the largest increase since the Fed began tracking profits in 1948 Inflation is a complex phenomenon but "outsize price hikes are at least partially responsible for rising inflation." https://t.co/PblWOMf2tO — PolitiTweet.org

1. Yes, inflation in March reached 8.5% annually, the highest rate since 1981 But something else is reaching heights not seen in decades: corporate profits Top retailers are bragging they've been able to exploit inflation to fatten their bottom line 🧵 https://t.co/PblWOMf2tO — PolitiTweet.org

@BH_Friedman @RachelRizzo Except I never said that. The point was that it shows what kind of policies the Koch network is interested in supporting — PolitiTweet.org

@RadioFreeTom @mattski_o @StandTogether That's the point of the piece. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@ThisIsSoliman How do you describe someone who receives money from the Koch non-profit network? The point of the piece was to illustrate the priorities of the Koch non-profit network. Mearsheimer is who he is — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@RadioFreeTom @StandTogether You are missing the point. Mearsheimer has been this way for a long time. But it reveals something about the foreign policy being pursued by the Koch non-profit network that they are funding him. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@etbrooking The point is not that Mearsheimer has been compromised. Notably, I never wrote that. He has been who he's been for years. The point is that funding Mearsheimer tells you something about the goals of the Koch network's foreign policy operation — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@RachelRizzo @frankspring The point is not what it says about Mearsheimer. He's been who he is for some time. The point is what it says about the Koch network that they are funding him. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@etbrooking If he’s not Koch-funded, why does he accept grants from Koch’s non-profit network? Does the fact that he’s had a long career make him immune from scrutiny? — PolitiTweet.org

This is quite a statement from @dandcaldwell, as Russian forces commit atrocities against Ukrainian civilians. — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: In this podcast, @dandcaldwell — who leads foreign policy at Charles Koch's main non-profit, @StandTogether — says the US has no interest in assisting Ukraine and accuses Zelensky of "guilt-tripping" the world into providing assistance https://t.co/dvY6Y4FWou — PolitiTweet.org

@KochIndustries 9. An internal email previously reported by https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ about @StandTogether's opposition to broad economic sanctions links directly to @KochIndustries' statement about remaining in Russia https://t.co/wy0Yuemb7x https://t.co/7vmKSgq2rm — PolitiTweet.org

8. Critically, Mearsheimer opposes economic sanctions against Russia, claiming they only increase the chance of nuclear war @KochIndustries is one of a handful of American companies to continue full operations in Russia https://t.co/wy0Yuemb7x — PolitiTweet.org

7. In 2011, Mearcheimer provided an effusive blurb for a book by Gilad Atzmon, who has publicly questioned the reality of the Holocaust I asked if Mearsheimer was aware of Atzmon's comments and received no response https://t.co/wy0Yuemb7x — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. At 3/31 conference, @dandcaldwell, the VP for Foreign Policy at Koch's @standtogether, "denounced the fierceness of the ongoing attacks against Mearsheimer" Caldwell did not respond to request for comment on what attacks he believed were unwarranted https://t.co/wy0Yue4zIX — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@StandTogether 5. The Russian Ministry of Defense has cited Mearsheimer's work on Twitter to justify its actions Mearsheimer made similar arguments justifying Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014 None of this has stopped the Koch network from supporting & defending him https://t.co/wy0Yuemb7x https://t.co/rXVC6OeAMo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@StandTogether 4. Mearsheimer arguments raising doubts about Russian atrocities are consistent with his broader views Mearsheimer argues that America, not Russia, is to blame He thinks America should stop assisting Ukraine and form an alliance with Russia https://t.co/wy0Yuemb7x https://t.co/vFLZ9tlX7V — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@StandTogether 3. Mearsheimer's connections to the Koch non-profit network are extensive: His last book received funding from the Charles Koch Foundation He has positions at two Koch-funded groups He is featured regularly at Koch events https://t.co/wy0YuemIX5 https://t.co/2NxnOWTCdT — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@StandTogether 2. The Koch-funded analyst, John Mearsheimer, also suggested if the Russian military is targeting civilians, the United States is to blame Mearsheimer's arguments provide cover for Russian atrocities in Bucha and other areas of Ukraine https://t.co/wy0Yuemb7x — PolitiTweet.org
