7. Manchin also founded, and maintains an ownership stake, in two coal companies that are now run by his son A rapid transition away from fossil fuels is needed to combat climate change but could have negative economic consequences for the Manchin family https://t.co/4U03Na2vEA — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. Manchin is also the top recipient -- Democrat or Republican -- of oil and gas money in the 2022 cycle. And it's not close. https://t.co/4U03Na2vEA https://t.co/HissbmneCp — PolitiTweet.org

4. Kott's client, the AFPM, has been a vocal critic of even modest steps by Biden to combat climate change. The CEO of AFPM criticized an executive order by Biden which set a goal to make half of the new vehicle sales electric by 2030 https://t.co/4U03Na2vEA https://t.co/7yCvtx0dL7 — PolitiTweet.org

@Sen_JoeManchin 2.

1. @Sen_JoeManchin has the pen for the climate-portion of the reconciliation bill. This might be the best opportunity to impact climate policy for years. But a close review of lobbying disclosures paints a disturbing picture. https://t.co/4U03Na2vEA — PolitiTweet.org

Texas passed a law banning nearly all abortions and made it enforceable by private citizens through a $10,000 bounty and now a guy who is serving 15 years for tax fraud in Arkansas has sued a Texas doctor who admitted he broke the law because the fraudster would like the money — PolitiTweet.org

4. Well, the 6 months are up and it's back to business as usual! @Pfizer donated $7,500 to 2 Republican objectors in August: Senator Roger Marshall (KS) and Congressman Richard Hudson (NC) — PolitiTweet.org

3. After 1/6, @Pfizer said: "[W]e have made the decision that for the next six months, Pfizer PAC will not contribute to any of the 147 Members of Congress who voted against certifying the Electoral College after the violence that we all witnessed" — PolitiTweet.org

2. @UPS, which suspended all donations after 1/6, had donated to a handful of GOP objectors earlier this year. But, in August, it really kicked things into high gear. UPS donated $78,500 to 30 Republican objectors — PolitiTweet.org

5. Ultimately, this could backfire. Apple is going to need to recruit thousands of new employees for its Austin Texas and many college-educated workers don't want to work in places with draconian limits on reproductive rights https://t.co/1lAMn77DH4 https://t.co/Y1NXMrucZx — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. Apple's leverage rests in its status as a major employer and driver of economic growth. Thus far, however, Apple and other companies have been unwilling to make any public statements about reproductive rights that could impact its bottom line. https://t.co/1lAMn77DH4 — PolitiTweet.org

@ParkerMolloy Thanks! It's pretty new. Rolled it out earlier this month. — PolitiTweet.org

3. And yet, @Apple has remained publicly silent on Texas' abortion ban In a company meeting, Cook told employees that Apple is seeing if it can assist legal challenges to the law But its leverage is not quietly paying for lawyers. It's PUBLIC PRESSURE https://t.co/1lAMn77DH4 — PolitiTweet.org

2. Many of these women are @Apple employees. Apple employs more people in Austin than any other city, save its headquarters in Cupertino. They are finishing a new $1 billion campus in Austin that will make it the city's largest employer. https://t.co/1lAMn77DH4 — PolitiTweet.org
