The priority, as always, is to protect right-wing publishers https://t.co/LUsxpE4TYJ — PolitiTweet.org

2. In this case, it improved the algorithm to decrease information from sources that falsely claimed Trump won the election. But why should it ever go back? Why should it reward garbage content with massive influxes of traffic? https://t.co/9pSepRfejh — PolitiTweet.org

1. This is an extremely important point about Facebook. It claims the garbage its algorithm serves up is a neutral reflection of people's interests. FALSE. It is a reflection of an algorithm created by humans, based on human decisions. When Zuck wants to improve it, he can. https://t.co/T9GZpIii8b — PolitiTweet.org

8. @Walmart's net income has so far risen 45% this year to a record $15.6 billion. The Walton family have added more than $45 billion to its wealth. Workers received an extra 63 cents per hour. And nothing since August. https://t.co/q9pLAHYBgP — PolitiTweet.org

7. @CVSHealth earned over $6.2 billion in profits in 2020. That's $1.3 billion more than the same period last year. The only addition compensation for CVS employees was a one-time bonus in March of $150 to $500. That was equivalent to a 2% raise. https://t.co/q9pLAHYBgP — PolitiTweet.org

6. @Amazon stock price is up 65%, adding $73 billion to CEO Jeff Bezos' personal wealth. At least 19,816 frontline Amazon employees tested positive for COVID since March. https://t.co/q9pLAHYBgP — PolitiTweet.org

5. @Amazon recorded $6.3B in profit in the 3rd quarter alone -- up 200% from last year! Hourly workers, meanwhile, have received a 6% increase in compensation (95 cents/hour). Workers have not received ANY additional pay since May https://t.co/q9pLAHYBgP — PolitiTweet.org

4. The @kroger stock buyback will likely increase the share price, increasing the compensation for CEO Rodney McMullen. In 2019, McMullen received $21,129,648 in total compensation, while the median Kroger worker earned $26,790 https://t.co/q9pLAHYBgP — PolitiTweet.org

3. @Kroger workers have not received any extra compensation since May 17, even though hospitalizations for COVID are at an all-time high. But on September 11, "the company authorized a new $1 billion share buyback program." https://t.co/q9pLAHYBgP — PolitiTweet.org

2. Take @Kroger, the nation's largest supermarket chain. It reported over $2B in profit in the first half of the year, up 90% over last year. Workers, meanwhile, received the equivalent of $0.87 per hour or a 9% increase. https://t.co/q9pLAHYBgP — PolitiTweet.org

1. There has been a massive failure in CORPORATE leadership during the pandemic Major retailers are seeing record profits this year But frontline workers who are putting their lives on the line to generate those profits are getting very little in return https://t.co/q9pLAHYBgP — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll note that Koch Industries is a frequent sponsor of this Axios newsletter, which is leading with this newsless puff piece on Charles Koch — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Charles Koch thinks you are stupid. He’s on a PR tour claiming he’s no longer a partisan while spending millions to re-elect David Perdue in the Senate. Perdue is one of the most partisan Senators and has backed up Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud in Georgia. https://t.co/Fu6YjUhd5Z — PolitiTweet.org

It’s still hard to believe Trump won’t be president in a few weeks. I’m 41 years old and it feels like he’s been president my entire life. — PolitiTweet.org

"Of the 20 most-engaged Facebook posts over the last week containing the word 'election,' all were from Mr. Trump...All of those claims were found to be false or misleading by independent fact checkers." https://t.co/Qf3sOZBOq2 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Unclear to me why more Republicans aren't taking Aaron Van Langevelde's approach. Trump will not be president. Stand up. Say you support the rule of law and democracy. This is a layup. — PolitiTweet.org

@nycsouthpaw Did the court agree to that deadline? — PolitiTweet.org

10. THIS is what nearly every elected official is waiting for the courts to resolve. It's a fever dream backed with absolutely no evidence. But it's enough for Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and most of the rest of the Republicans https://t.co/HsEASnpJ68 — PolitiTweet.org

9. Why? Because all their other claims, even if successful, would not reverse nearly enough votes to reverse the outcome. They are losing those claims, but even if they weren't it would wouldn't be enough. https://t.co/HsEASnpJ68 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

8. It's not just Powell who has been advancing this crackpot voting machine theory. It's also Trump, Giuliani, and other members of the Trump legal team. They've thrown Powell overboard, but they are clinging to her claims about voting machines https://t.co/HsEASnpJ68 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

7. Shortly after this, the Trump campaign tried to disavow Powell, falsely claiming she was not part of the Trump legal team and was "practicing law on her own." It's a lie, and it also doesn't solve their problem. https://t.co/HsEASnpJ68 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

6. Powell also said that Republican candidates used the system to get elected. She said that, had the real vote been counted DOUG COLLINS would have advanced to the January 5 runoff, not KELLY LOEFFLER. In other words, she is accusing Loeffler of being part of the conspiracy — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

5. This year, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp used the machines to steal the election for Biden. Why would Kemp, a Republican and outspoken Trump supporter, steal the election for Biden? He was also paid off, according to Powell https://t.co/HsEASnpJ68 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. Sanders was told exactly what happened but was paid to keep quiet and used the money to buy a fancy house. That allowed the same scheme to be used against Trump this year. According to Powell, you can just "drag and drop" votes https://t.co/HsEASnpJ68 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. According to Powell, some years ago, the CIA provided technology to Hugo Chavez to create voting machines that could be rigged. Hillary Clinton then used these machines in 2016 to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders. https://t.co/HsEASnpJ68 — PolitiTweet.org

2. Until yesterday Sidney Powell was a member of Trump's legal team I say this because Trump said she was a member of the legal team and she also appeared at an official Trump campaign press conference last Thurs On Saturday, Powell laid out their case https://t.co/JWNgvEKUtS — PolitiTweet.org
