I think that range of ideas we consider in American politics is quite limited so I'm always excited to see some outside-the-box thinking — PolitiTweet.org

BUSINESS INSIDER: "An influential PAC group is telling businesses to restart political donations, including to GOP lawmakers who voted to overturn the election results" https://t.co/E7vPg7ChOf https://t.co/tz6iAGfscX — PolitiTweet.org

6. The success of these resolutions hinges on how @Vanguard_Group and @blackrock vote, since they own so many shares. https://t.co/JhoV1QDaTS contacted both companies and they said they don't discuss their position on shareholder resolutions in advance https://t.co/rK6HeQObDI — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

5. Other companies, including @Walmart, @Lyft, and @UPS will consider similar shareholder resolutions in the next few weeks. If these resolutions pass, it would give the public a much clearer understanding of how these companies operate politically https://t.co/rK6HeQObDI — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. Shareholders have introduced resolutions calling on companies to disclose all their political spending. Shareholders for @Amazon, for example, will consider a transparency resolution on May 26. The company opposes the resolution. https://t.co/rK6HeQObDI https://t.co/1Zko9hxv5O — PolitiTweet.org

3. Most major companies send very large sums of money to the U.S. Chamber which the group uses to oppose a $15 wage and federal protections for voting rights. This is all kept secret. https://t.co/rK6HeQObDI — PolitiTweet.org

2. While 5K donations from corporate PACs are public, corporations can spend millions of dollars supporting trade associations and non-profits and keep those expenditures completely secret https://t.co/rK6HeQObDI — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. One of the reasons I spend time talking about corporate PAC donations is that PAC donations are transparent. But most corporate political spending is kept SECRET. But there are some shareholders trying to change that. https://t.co/rK6HeQObDI — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans in Congress embraced Trump's lies about election fraud and it resulted in a mob attacking the U.S. Capitol In response, Republicans have expressed ZERO regret and are now in the process of purging anyone who doesn't continue to play along with Trump's lies — PolitiTweet.org

4. DuHaime said the purpose of the webinar was to encourage companies to "stay engaged." But what he actually said was far more cynical. He said it was fine to donate to buy access but that companies should create a more palatable public pretext https://t.co/iQsENJJK2q — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. Whatever DuHaime has said publicly, behind closed doors he is helping Republicans who voted to undermine the democratic process get corporate cash. His actions speak louder than his words. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@chrislhayes @MikeDuHaime 2. DuHaime emphasized that he was publicly "critical of member of the Republican Party who voted against certifying the election results" and "strongly condemned the attack on our democracy." I'm sure this is true. But it also COMPLETELY MISSES THE POINT https://t.co/ohNFcYT5em — PolitiTweet.org

1. One result of talking about this story with @chrislhayes on TV is that @MikeDuHaime, the GOP operative and crisis communications consultant advising these corporate PACs, finally responded And his response is extremely revealing — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the people pointing out that Bezos owns the Washington Post. I'm really learning stuff on this website. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

I have no reason to believe Sally Buzbee isn't a great choice to lead the Washington Post but the fact that Jeff Bezos, the billionaire CEO of one of the world's most powerful companies, picks the top editor of one of the world's most important news orgs is not a good thing https://t.co/X3jbBsrfXI — PolitiTweet.org
