I make a big deal of companies that break their pledges so wanted to share this data point because I think people have probably become a bit too cynical about where we are at with all this — PolitiTweet.org

@RepBrianMast These reports aren't due until next week. We are just seeing a few trickle in. But corporations aren't showering these folks with cash at the moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

We'll have to wait for all the data to come in but it does not seem that most corporations have resumed "business as usual" post 1/6. @RepBrianMast, who voted to overturn the results of the election, just filed his Q1 report He received $0 in corporate PAC donations after 1/6 — PolitiTweet.org

Tucker Carlson launders white supremacist talking points to millions. He is not an original thinker or a provocateur. He's a charlatan and a bigot. https://t.co/pVsGXOL8Uw — PolitiTweet.org

8. BTW, this bill is opposed by @TheFIREorg, a group dedicated to preserving free speech on campuses https://t.co/hUBjNRvo5n — PolitiTweet.org

6. Republicans are openly admitting they plan on using the survey to "make policy decisions." Critics believe that it will be used as a tool to withhold funding from institutions that are deemed to be too liberal. https://t.co/hUBjNRvo5n — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

5. Oh, and the survey (that has no privacy protections) will be created by the Florida Board of Education, an entity comprised with political appointees that is currently chaired by a guy who doesn't believe schools should teach evolution as fact https://t.co/hUBjNRvo5n — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. Nothing encourages FREEDOM OF SPEECH like the knowledge that everything you say is being recorded and could be used against you in a legal or disciplinary proceeding! https://t.co/hUBjNRvo5n — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. Second, the Florida bill allows students to record any class without the professor's permission and use the recording " in connection with a complaint to the public institution of higher education" or "as evidence in a criminal or civil proceeding" https://t.co/hUBjNRvo5n — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. First, the Florida bill would "require public universities to survey students, faculty and staff about their beliefs and viewpoints" But it "offers no assurances that the survey’s answers will be anonymous" and doesn't' say how the data will be used https://t.co/hUBjNRvo5n — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. Republicans in Florida are advancing a proposal they claim will ensure "intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity" at colleges but will actually create a dystopian surveillance state at the state's public universities Follow along if interested https://t.co/hUBjNRvo5n — PolitiTweet.org
