We have a fully updated list of which corporations have kept their promises to cut off donations to Republican objectors and which have gone back to business as usual here: https://t.co/1Je4c2qY7k — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
This is consistent with https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ's analysis from January, which found about a 60% drop in corporate donations to Republican objectors through November https://t.co/Aht2gOqVrK https://t.co/Qrk1I67l2T — PolitiTweet.org

9. One thing that all of these pundits and groups have in common is that none of them disclose that the position they are advocating on economic sanctions supports the business interests of Charles Koch https://t.co/zpwSF6yyNF — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@ConcernedVets 8. The VP for foreign policy at @stand_together, the umbrella organization that supports Koch's policy advocacy, announced the "stand together community" opposes "broad-based sanctions" against Russia https://t.co/zpwSF6yyNF https://t.co/seK9vsWH4V — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. @ConcernedVets receives millions in funding from Charles Koch & is staffed w/Koch operatives It is encouraging people to sign a petition which states "increasing sanctions… can unnecessarily risk pulling the U.S. into direct confrontation with Russia https://t.co/zpwSF6yyNF — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@defpriorities 6. @defpriorities fellow @RichardHanania argues that economic sanctions will just make Russia "more repressive and crazy." He's also argued that sanctions "don't work in general." https://t.co/zpwSF6yyNF https://t.co/TAbHYq7gDQ — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. A February 22 article published by @defpriorities says "the West loves to wield sanctions to solve any international problem" but that "hasn’t deterred Putin since 2014 with Ukraine and it won’t work now." https://t.co/zpwSF6yyNF — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. @defpriorities is another think tank that received funding from the Koch network and was started by Ruger and other Koch associates. It has vociferously opposed economic sanctions against Russia. https://t.co/zpwSF6yyNF — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. In a recent @reason podcast, @WillRuger says the U.S. "can and should do very little for Ukraine." Ruger argues economic sanctions make it "much harder for actually for Russia to stand down" because Putin does not want "to appear to cry uncle." https://t.co/zpwSF6yyNF — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@KochIndustries 2. The new president of @aier, @WillRuger, spent the previous 8 years working for the Charles Koch Institute and other Koch-entities @aier has received funding from the Koch Foundation Today, Ruger is a leading voice against economic sanctions on Russia https://t.co/zpwSF6yyNF — PolitiTweet.org

9. Final note: The billionaires didn't just get lucky. They are current and former execs of companies that, through corporate lobbying groups, spent millions to defeat the bill They chose to preserve every penny of their wealth at the expense of kids https://t.co/OGLzdEM31j — PolitiTweet.org

7. Too often, we view politics as a sporting event. The failure of BBB means Biden LOST. No, Biden is fine. Millions of children are hungry this morning. Politics is about people. https://t.co/OGLzdEM31j — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. Today, the world's top 15 billionaires are worth $1.5 trillion. The wealth of this group has increased 79% ($668 billion) in the last two years. They have Manchin and the other 51 Senators to thank Otherwise, their wealth would be (slightly) smaller https://t.co/OGLzdEM31j https://t.co/7LtZsFCk6N — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. One proposal that gained traction was a tax on the unrealized gains from billionaires. It would have raised more than $500 billion, financing a 5-year expansion of the credit, from a group of 700 very wealthy people Manchin didn't like the idea https://t.co/OGLzdEM31j — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. As a result, 3.7 MILLION CHILDREN fell into poverty in January. Many of these children are hungry, under extreme stress, and are more likely to drop out of school. 52 Senators decided inflicting this on children was better than raising taxes https://t.co/OGLzdEM31j — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. The reason why it expired is @Sen_JoeManchin, @SenatorSinema, and 50 Senate Republicans didn't want to increase taxes on corporations or billionaires. This group of 52 people CHOSE to let the expanded child tax credit expire instead https://t.co/OGLzdEM31j — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. A central plank of BBB was an extension of the expanded child tax credit that was put into place in March 2021. The expanded credit was bigger, distributed monthly, and was fully refundable to people with very low incomes. It expired on 12/31/21 https://t.co/OGLzdEM31j — PolitiTweet.org
