RT @vermontgmg: It's amazing—and horrifying—how corporate America is just shrugging its shoulders as the GOP attacks democracy. @JuddLegum… — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@baseballcrank @philipaklein That’s your opinion and not the opinion of the court. In this case, SCOTUS has not ruled on the legality of a moratorium post July 31. It’s a basic legal concept. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@philipaklein That advisor was wrong. BTW, you should think about the implications of your argument. It means any Governor who signs an abortion bill more restrictive than Roe is violating their oath of office. Even more so, because Roe is an actual decision and not dicta — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@philipaklein The Supreme Court didn't say it was illegal. They declined to strike down the initial moratorium. Kavanaugh's comments, as I assume you are aware, are dicta that have no legal force. The issue of an extension was not before the court in June. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

This article asserts that Biden violated "his oath of office" when he put into place an eviction moratorium. Did Trump also violate his oath of office when he instituted an even broader eviction moratorium in September 2020? — PolitiTweet.org

7. You won't read about @GM's donation anywhere else because it was buried in a 3,618-page disclosure filed by the @RSLC with the IRS earlier this week If you value this kind of independent accountability journalism, sign up for the newsletter. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@RSLC @mtbarra @GM 6. In response to https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ's reporting, @GM said that it "committed to renewing" its @RSLC membership in "late 2020" The 125K, @GM says, "does not represent an endorsement of every issue" that the @RSLC "may support" https://t.co/xOhJJcqq14 https://t.co/AvnePevjy7 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@RSLC 5. @mtbarra and @GM donated 125K to the @RSLC while simultaneously presenting the company as a champion of voting rights in Michigan and across the country This tweet was sent less than 2 weeks after GM's 6-figure donation https://t.co/xOhJJcqq14 https://t.co/zg8jijmqoj — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. @RSLC asserts GOP control of state legislatures is the "last line of defense" for the GOP. @RSLC argues that the GOP must act "now" to restrict voting because "2022 is just over the horizon — election integrity is likely to have a major impact" https://t.co/xOhJJcqq14 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. @RSLC also established a "Commission of Voting Integrity" with the explicit goal of imposing new restrictions on voting. The RSLC warns that unless new barriers to voting are put in place, "Democrats will dominate elections for years to come." https://t.co/xOhJJcqq14 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@GM @mtbarra @RSLC 2. The @RSLC, which received 125K from @GM on 3/31, has publicly supported voter suppression efforts across the country, including a version of the Georgia voting legislation that was even harsher than the measure that ultimately became law https://t.co/xOhJJcqq14 https://t.co/4n6ttILkzJ — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. On 4/6, @GM CEO @mtbarra wrote the "right to vote in a fair, free, and equitable manner is the most precious element of #democracy" A few days earlier, a new IRS filing reveals, @GM donated 125K to @RSLC, a GOP group pushing voter suppression laws https://t.co/xOhJJcqq14 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

.@smiledirectclub says it does not donate to the Rule of Law Defense Fund. This is misdirection. The RLDF is the policy arm of the @RepublicanAGs After 1/6 @RepublicanAGs PROMOTED the guy who approved the robocalls on 1/5 to be the executive director of the whole org — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

UPDATE: @smiledirectclub addresses its donation to the @RepublicanAGs, which helped build the mob on 1/6 It says it “makes equal contributions to both Democrat and Republican attorney general associations” Only one association was involved in 1/6 https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

It's funny that Ben Shapiro had nothing bad to say about the "leftist" CDC eviction moratorium WHEN IT WAS IMPOSED BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IN SEPTEMBER 2020 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

We asked @Mastercard about their support for @RepublicanAGs, despite the group's involvement in 1/6, and didn't hear back. If anyone gets a response, let me know. DMs open, email in bio. https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Yes, I don’t get this. — PolitiTweet.org

THE REPORTER ASKED IF MASKS COULD HELP PROTECT CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS. DeSantis is banning schools from requiring masks. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

9. We reached out to all these companies but only heard from @Yelp, which says it initiated its donation before 1/6 and informed RAGA that it won't be donating in the future. Sign up to the newsletter for updates and more accountability journalism https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

@Tinder @hinge @Match @RepublicanAGs 8. Here is a list of corporate donors to @RepublicanAGs this year in chart form https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh https://t.co/No9UV7i6eW — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

7. Does your dating app support the insurrection? Match Group, which operates @Tinder, @hinge, and @match, has donated 10K to the @RepublicanAGs in 2021. The company did not respond to a request for comment. https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

6. @ATT pledged to withhold donations from members of Congress who voted to overturn the election because of their complicity in the January 6 attack. But @ATT donated 125K to @RepublicanAGs on 4/30 https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

5. After 1/6, @smiledirectclub said it was "committed to ensuring that any organization we support financially aligns with our corporate values" On 6/17, @smiledirectclub donated 25K to @RepublicanAGs https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. After 1/6 @mastercard said: "Simple decency and sober reflection require us to account for the events in Washington this past week... nothing is more important than the smooth transition of power" @mastercard donated 25K to @RepublicanAGs on 3/24 https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. The chair of @RepublicanAGs, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr (R), resigned, citing "vastly opposite views of the significance of the events of 1/6” But major corporations like @Mastercard, @ATT, and @AnheuserBusch continue to support the group https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@RepublicanAGs 2. @RepublicanAGs have not demonstrated remorse for its role in creating the 1/6 mob Rather, it promoted the person who approved the robocalls, Peter Bisbee, TO BE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. On January 5, the @RepublicanAGs sent robocalls to help create a mob in DC "At 1:00 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal" New disclosures reveal that major corporations have continued to fund the group https://t.co/fsglkhFjsh — PolitiTweet.org
