9. Activists in Texas are now calling for corporations to speak out against this legislation before its too late. For updates and accountability journalism, sign up for the newsletter. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

@ATT 8. https://t.co/JhoV1QDaTS contacted 26 major corporate donors to the sponsors of legislation to restrict voting and asked if they supported the bills Only one, @Prudential, said they opposed the legislation https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb https://t.co/FtBnz9DY0H — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. @ATT made these donations even though it publicly embraces voting rights, including in corporate blog posts and videos. The company did not respond to a request for comment about whether it supports the voter suppression bills in the Texas legislature https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. @ATT has donated $574,500 to Abbott, Patrick and the sponsors of Texas voter suppression bills since 2018. @ATT donated $150,000 to Patrick, who was so enthusiastic about Trump's false claims of voter fraud that he offered a $1M reward for evidence https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb https://t.co/9RQmXxZexZ — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. SB 7 and a similar bill in the House is supported by Gov Abbott, Lt. Gov Patrick, and most of the leadership in the legislature. A https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ investigation reveals these politicians have received millions in corporate cash since 2018 https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. SB 7 would also ban mobile, outdoor, and drive-through polling locations. Republicans unsuccessfully sued Harris County in 2020 to invalidate 127,000 votes cast at a drive-thru location https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. SB 7 would require all countywide polling places to have about the same number of machines Why is this important? It would effectively prohibit the use of sports arenas as mega-voting locations Use of these locations made it easier to vote in 2020 https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. One major bill, SB 7, would make it more difficult for people with disabilities to vote by requiring them to submit a form filled out by a doctor attesting they are physically unable to vote in person in order to receive an absentee ballot https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. Texas already has the most restrictive voting laws in the nation But with the state trending blue, Texas Republicans are pushing draconian new restrictions anyway These politicians are backed by millions in corporate cash Follow along if interested https://t.co/rX5e4iByKb — PolitiTweet.org

This is an amazing moment of television. Gaetz claims that Tucker Carlson had dinner with a Gaetz and a woman who is somehow involved in the probe. Tucker responds that he has no idea what Gaetz is talking about. — PolitiTweet.org

Gaetz, one of the biggest Trump sycophants in Congress, is reportedly under FBI investigation for an alleged sexual relationship with an underage girl. In response, he claims that it's all part of an elaborate conspiracy against him. Wonder who taught him that move? — PolitiTweet.org

A bill currently advancing through the Texas legislature would make it more difficult for disabled people to vote. The bill is endorsed by the Governor, the Lt. Governor, and the Republican leadership of the legislature. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. The treatment of these kids is dreadful and the US is fully capable of treating them much better. But this has been a problem across administrations. No one wants to spend money to improve their treatment because they are worried about OPTICS. https://t.co/wyRoolTr9z — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. There is a record surge in unaccompanied minors. Trump had to stop immediately deporting them in 11/20 due to a court order. When the order was lifted, Biden did not resume immediate deportations And these kids are being held in inhumane conditions https://t.co/wyRoolTr9z https://t.co/SOwogq8VF9 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. But, as you'll note from the chart, the current spike driven by Section 42 is still lower than we saw in 2019 when all of Trump's harshest policies were in place. https://t.co/wyRoolTr9z https://t.co/sA4PhoG2Ce — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. One reason why immediately deporting everyone under Title 42 caused a spike in apprehensions is that people start trying to cross the border again and again, sometimes within hours. The practice is legally dubious but its been continued under Biden https://t.co/wyRoolTr9z — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. The spike in apprehensions that begins in April 2020 tracks when the Trump administration began immediately deporting everyone for public health reasons. Trump claims he had the authority under Section 42 of the US Code. https://t.co/wyRoolTr9z — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. On the left, is a chart tracking articles that mention "border crisis" in major publications. (Spike starts 3/21) On the right, is the number of apprehensions at the border (Spike starts 4/20) The coverage of the "crisis" is untethered to reality. https://t.co/wyRoolTr9z https://t.co/aKioyhNgt8 — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. Many members of the media appear convinced that Biden rolled back Trump's immigration policy and created a "border crisis" But Biden has left the most salient Trump border policy in place. And the surge of migrants started in April, not February. https://t.co/wyRoolTr9z — PolitiTweet.org

@CocaCola .@Delta, which is also facing calls for a boycott, was more positive about the bill, saying it "improved considerably during the legislative process." For updates and accountability journalism, sign up for the newsletter. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: In an email to employees, the president of @CocaCola North America said it was "disappointed" the Georgia bill restricting voting rights was signed into law @CocaCola refused to publicly oppose the bill BEFORE it became law https://t.co/sq9suGbg5X https://t.co/1YjOkv16lP — PolitiTweet.org
