3. Notably, Sinema, Manchin, and Senate Republicans will never acknowledge they even made this decision, much less defend it. But that doesn't make it any less real. — PolitiTweet.org

2. As a result of that decision, America's 704 billionaires have gotten $1.7 TRILLION richer in the last two years. Meanwhile, 3.7 MILLION kids have fallen back into poverty https://t.co/QU02h0t8gn https://t.co/bzOf65S2qL https://t.co/2XSqarEIs5 — PolitiTweet.org

1. Decisions have consequences We could have raised taxes slightly on billionaires and extended the expanded child tax credit But Sinema, Manchin, and Senate Republicans decided to 1. Let billionaires keep their money 2. Let the child tax credit expire — PolitiTweet.org

I can’t predict the future but I can promise this: https://t.co/JhoV1QDaTS will not move on. We will be tracking it closely. And the next time @Disney makes a political donation we will let everyone know. — PolitiTweet.org

BTW, during the shareholder meeting, Chapek leaned heavily on his call with DeSantis, saying the governor "heard our concerns" and "agreed to meet with me...to discuss ways to address them." DeSantis responded today with an f-you https://t.co/Ru3llIFO0q — PolitiTweet.org

@Disney Chapek claims, moving forward, @Disney will "combat similar legislation in other states" Today, @HRC released a letter signed by 60 companies - including Apple, Capitol One, and Google - opposing the anti-trans directive in Texas @Disney didn't sign https://t.co/SnDPLVBl3w https://t.co/abqNU1cF70 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Disney This is Chapek's third attempt at addressing this issue: 1. Argues there was no point in publicly opposing the bill 2. Claims that Disney always opposed the bill and was "working behind the scenes." Touts his call with DeSantis. 3. Apologizes. Pauses donations. https://t.co/IY2iSTTLYs — PolitiTweet.org

BREAKING: In an internal memo, @Disney CEO Bob Chapek announces that the company is "pausing all political donations in the state of Florida" Popular Information reported that @Disney donated $299,126 to supporters of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill https://t.co/L4Kus1zWFY https://t.co/5fxoSTk9bQ — PolitiTweet.org

During the 2020 presidential campaign, https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ documented how Trump solicited his supporters for money with at least 15 fraudulent contests to share a meal with Trump that no one ever won. HE'S STILL DOING IT. https://t.co/2de4xHOcCH https://t.co/7wu4Rbk7rI — PolitiTweet.org

@6pounddog Why is it unmoored to think that there are a lot of publications that exist to sell subscriptions to people who are wealthy? That's a fact. — PolitiTweet.org

9. But we need to figure out how to create more capacity for media that isn't "ruthlessly capitalistic." Because not every area that is important is going to make investors money. But there is a purpose to journalism beyond profit. — PolitiTweet.org

8. Exactly two years ago, I took down the paywall for https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ because it didn't feel right that money should determine whether people go access to our reporting. I have no idea if this is a sustainable or scalable model but I'm just going to keep trying — PolitiTweet.org

7. I have my own small media outlet (https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ) and I try to report on stories that I don't think will get a lot of coverage elsewhere. We have a three-person team but we are able to break news because there are so many areas of coverage that are underserved. — PolitiTweet.org

6. I wrote a bit about coverage of retail theft versus wage theft here: https://t.co/a6Vm11r8pU — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. So wage theft is a much bigger problem (in terms of both scale and impact) than shoplifting. But there is exponentially more coverage in the media of shoplifting than wage theft. Because that's where the money is. — PolitiTweet.org

4. But this isn't the case for many other professions. What publications focus on the needs and interests of hourly workers, for example? There are 70 million+ hourly workers in the United States today. — PolitiTweet.org

3. This is why we have an entire constellation of media organizations that serve the needs of corporate lobbyists in Washington, DC. If you are a corporate lobbyist, you have so many high-quality outlets to get the information that's important to you. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. What are the two most common ways for a news organization to make money: A. Sell advertising to corporations B. Sell subscriptions to the wealthy Therefore, we have a lot of news that corporations like to advertise against and wealthy people like to subscribe to — PolitiTweet.org

1. I've been thinking a lot about this quote from Axios CEO Jim VandeHei. There is a lot of discussion about bias in news media but this is the most ubiquitous bias. News orgs focus on topics they think can make them money. https://t.co/GZRgWf5wOa — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman @CawthornforNC told supporters he thinks Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a "thug" He said Zelenskyy's government is "incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies." https://t.co/jRkB2NKbyd — PolitiTweet.org
