@EvanHandler That’s true but I think he was clearly trying to give the impression that he was always planning to return. — PolitiTweet.org

This is floating around but I haven’t seen it verified. But Cruz has put his plans to return at issue. He can prove his version — that he always intended to return the next day — is true. — PolitiTweet.org

Cruz’s kids are ten and older, unclear why they needed to travel with more than one adult. And if they do, how are they managing the trip back? The whole thing makes no sense. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
This is now a factual question. Cruz can prove this is true by showing his original receipt for his ticket, showing a return trip on Thursday. — PolitiTweet.org

A tipster informs me that she saw Cruz vacationing in Cancun in January 2020. Anyway, enjoy this picture of Cruz, last year, swimming with dolphins in Cancun. https://t.co/TjsR9THxQa — PolitiTweet.org

7. While many people struggled, grocery stores have received a windfall during the pandemic. Instead of fairly compensating its employees putting themselves at risk, @Kroger is spending billions to boost its stock price, rewarding executives and investors — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. Keep in mind not every larger grocer responded this way. Trader Joe's is increasing pay by $4/hour across the entire country. For updates and accountability journalism, sign up for the newsletter https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. I talked to a worker at one of the stores being closed. They are not enthused about the fuel points because they don't have a car. They report employees who have been risking their lives during a pandemic are now "anxious and scared" about paying rent https://t.co/o2hZsD2o4P — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@kroger 4. So what is @Kroger doing instead? According to an internal memo obtained by https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ, Kroger is giving all employees "1000 fuel points." This is the equivalent of $1 off a gallon of gas at participating stations. Or about $12 bucks https://t.co/o2hZsD2o4P https://t.co/fTBNTNBwho — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. @Kroger also closed two stores after Long Beach passed a similar ordinance. The "new extra pay mandate" makes it "impossible to operate a financially sustainable business" Kroger is planning to spend $1 billion this year on stock buybacks https://t.co/o2hZsD2o4P — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@kroger 2. @Kroger ended its $2/hour hazard pay in May. And as the pandemic got worse, refused to reinstate it So the Seattle passed an ordinance requiring large grocery stores to pay $4/hour in hazard pay @Kroger RESPONDED BY CLOSING ITS TWO SEATTLE STORES https://t.co/o2hZsD2o4P — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. Everyone should know about what @kroger, the nation's largest supermarket chain, is doing to make sure their frontline employees don't make a few extra bucks an hour This is a company which had $3 BILLION in profit in the first 3 quarters of 2020 https://t.co/o2hZsD2o4P — PolitiTweet.org

4. Facebook could probably afford to pay Australian media companies a few bucks? The company made $32.7 BILLION in profits in 2020, up from $24 BILLION in 2019. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. Facebook's actions today can best be understood as an aggressive lobbying effort. It's showing Australian government its willing to follow through with the ban. Tough to square this bare-knuckled approach with the company's supposed commitment to free speech. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. Facebook's dramatic action to cut off news to Australians (and others) in the middle of a pandemic isn't a RESPONSE to a law. There is no law passed yet. It's an attempt to BULLY the Australian government into not passing the law. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. So Facebook banned all Australian news sources from its platform because of PROPOSED legislation that would require Facebook to negotiate compensation for Australian media outlets It's not even a law yet. That's important. — PolitiTweet.org
