Just a reminder that it's February 1 and while Trump's new media company has an imputed value of well over $10 billion it still has: 1. No products 2. No users 3. No revenue https://t.co/82VacH830w — PolitiTweet.org

6. We will continue to parse the data, but we aren't seeing a large volume of NEW corporate donors to Republican objectors. Companies that previously donated to objectors continue to do so. Examples: @AmericanAir @Cigna @FedExPolicy @GM @MotorolaUS @PwC @TruistNews — PolitiTweet.org

After January 6, @massmutual pledged to "to any candidate who voted against certification of the 2020 presidential election results for any state." On 12/20/21, @massmutual donated 20K to the @NRSC, which is chaired by @SenRickScott, who voted against certification https://t.co/OMNqJ8TwvR — PolitiTweet.org

5. Attempts to preserve democracy by strengthening the law are well-intentioned. But, ultimately, democracy will only survive if enough people subordinate short-term political interests to the preservation of the system There is no silver bullet https://t.co/Dd5EOyLJjr — PolitiTweet.org

4. If that happens, the tables are turned. To preserve democracy, Congress needs to take action. But if you increase the requirement to reject phony electors from a majority to a 2/3 supermajority those 147 Republicans can now render Congress powerless https://t.co/Dd5EOyLJjr — PolitiTweet.org

3. The problem with this idea is that it misunderstands the more acute threat for 2024: A Trump-sympathetic Governor sending a phony slate of pro-Trump electors to Congress. This is a risk, for example, if Perdue becomes the next Governor of Georgia. https://t.co/Dd5EOyLJjr — PolitiTweet.org

2. 147 Republicans voted to overturn the last election by objecting to the certification a few states So the proposal floated by Dems is to make that more difficult and require a 2/3 vote in each chamber to reject certification rather than a majority https://t.co/Dd5EOyLJjr — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not advocating for Rogan to be censored. But Spotify chose to pay him $100 million. And, in so doing, they endorsed his program. Which is now being used to convince millions of people not to get vaccinated for an illness that has killed nearly 900K Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Rogan's contention now that people accept as fact that "cloth masks don't work" is also false. Wearing a cloth mask is certainly more protective than nothing at all. They are less effective than N95 respirators or surgical masks. — PolitiTweet.org

Rogan is right that scientific views change with new evidence but his claims that people insisted it was impossible to catch COVID if you are vaccinated is false. People said it was much less likely, which was true before the variants. It's still less likely even w/the variants. — PolitiTweet.org

11. What happened to Dear Martin is part of a MUCH LARGER PATTERN of excluding texts that center marginalized groups from schools If you care about this issue, please sign up for my newsletter, where I'll be tracking this closely It's free to sign up ➡️ https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

10. Parents and administrators cite profanity, violence, and sexual content to justify the exclusion of texts But mostly to exclude books that focus on the plight of marginalized communities You don't hear these complaints about Hamlet or The Odyssey https://t.co/LtE0hJXl7U — PolitiTweet.org

9. Nolte, oddly, claimed that the meme was posted "in support of Robin Roberts" He deleted the post and apologized, adding that "my first college roommate was a dear high school friend who was black."
