7. @ATT is headquartered in Dallas and has a HUGE influence in Texas. Some consider the company the third branch of the TX legislature. They employ nearly 80 lobbyists in the state! Sign up to the newsletter for updates and accountability journalism. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

6. @ATT did not respond to an inquiry from https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ asking: 1. Does @ATT support the voter suppression bills in TX? 2. Will @ATT continue to donate to politicians like Patrick, Paxton, and Cain? https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb — PolitiTweet.org

@ATT 4. At the same time @ATT donated 150K to Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick. Patrick was so enamored with Trump's false claims of voter fraud that he offered a $1 million reward for people who came forward with "evidence." https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb https://t.co/NplI7JcpOX — PolitiTweet.org

@ATT 2. For example, @ATT posted a four-minute video to its corporate website documenting a trip that employees took to Selma, Alabama to honor John Lewis and others that fought for the right to vote https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb https://t.co/uqjpP3WJMv — PolitiTweet.org

@Delta 2. This opposition could have made a big difference if it was expressed BEFORE the bill was signed into law. But @Delta can still prove it is serious. @Delta has donated at least $41,600 to 22 sponsors of the bills since 2018 Will it continue to donate to those politicians? — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
UPDATE: A month after https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ first identified @Delta as a major corporate contributor to the Georgia politicians behind the new voter suppression law, the company says "the final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values." https://t.co/5tyBThykaB — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias I'm somewhat suspicious that this is what's motivating the NYT new policy that you need permission to start a free email newsletter. Seems like you could work for the NYT, quietly build up an email list, and then leave in a few years with more freedom and better pay — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias I think this slower, word of mouth growth works once you've established your first few thousand free subscribers. But the difficulty of the Substack model for many people is establishing that base. You can do it by porting your followers over from another platform or going viral. — PolitiTweet.org
