@vodkaandcorn @CatBabyTinySmol @CVSHealth @AmDiabetesAssn @BestBuy @StJude If you are happy subsidizing corporate sponsorship agreements by adding to your bill at checkout, go for it — PolitiTweet.org

@TocRadio That’s the claim in the class action lawsuit. CVS has a lot of technical legal defenses, but they don’t dispute the basic facts of what is going on — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
12. While @CVSHealth says it was always the case that that $10 million would be raised from customers, this fact was not mentioned in the press release announcing CVS’ “commitment” https://t.co/R9gUUMGzdv — PolitiTweet.org

11. BTW, @CVSHealth did not respond to Popular Information’s request for comment. It’s betting that most people don’t care about this kind of stuff — PolitiTweet.org

9. I have a lot more on CVS’ scheme, the lawsuit, and what kind of alleged crimes are considered newsworthy in today’s edition of Popular Information https://t.co/YmsZya0iSc — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. CVS' motion to dismiss the lawsuit does not dispute the terms of the agreement with the ADA. Rather, it describes them in a slightly more favorable light But the story told by CVS’ lawyers was not the one presented to customers https://t.co/gJtaHPSQQb — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. A class action lawsuit has been filed against @cvspharmacy for this scheme, alleging that CVS defrauded customers — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. A customer that tapped "Donation $1.00" on this screen likely believed that their choice meant the ADA would have an additional dollar it could use to support its mission. In fact, that dollar simply reduced CVS' obligation to the ADA https://t.co/ZBUoTHS1GW — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. Instead, the agreement allows CVS to offset its obligation to the ADA "through in-store fundraising." Each year CVS turns over customer donations. Then, at the end of the agreement, CVS pays "an amount equal to the difference between the total funds raised and $10M” — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. @CVSHealth could have just paid the $10 million. Since CVS signed the agreement, the company has brought in $395 billion in revenue. $10 million represents 0.002% of CVS' revenue from June 2021 to September 2022. But that’s not what they did — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. People with serious medical conditions like diabetes require a lot of prescription medication and medical supplies These are lucrative customers for @cvspharmacy Associating with the ADA, which has a great reputation, makes it more likely they’ll shop at CVS — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
2. In April 2021, @CVSHealth signed a sponsorship deal with the @AmDiabetesAssn. CVS received the right to use the ADA logos AND the ADA agreed to promote CVS on its website and elsewhere In return, CVS agreed to donate at least $10 million over 3 yrs — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. At checkout, @CVSHealth customers thought they were donating a dollar to the American Diabetes Association (@AmDiabetesAssn). Actually, they were subsidizing CVS’ corporate sponsorship agreement with ADA For details on how the scheme worked follow this 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

8. Only a couple of outlets, Vox and The Guardian, have a policy against accepting fossil fuel ads. The NYT stopped accepting cigarette ads in 1999 saying it didn't "want to expose our readers to advertising that may be dangerous to their health" https://t.co/vzMij6r9Rd — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. The Washington Post, the LA Times, Politico, Axios, PBS, the Wall Street Journal, and the Atlantic all regularly run advertising from fossil fuel companies. Often fossil fuel companies run "native" ads which are indistinguishable from editorial content for the casual reader. https://t.co/pYbAUxuypM — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. The website associated with the ad presents "blue hydrogen" as a way to meet the world's growing energy needs "whilst also addressing CO2 emissions" A 2021 study found "the greenhouse gas footprint of blue hydrogen is more than 20% greater than burning natural gas or coal" — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@semafor @Chevron 5. @semafor's conduct is not unusual. Many major media outlets regularly run misleading advertising from fossil fuel companies. Over the last week, the New York Times ran this ad from Aramco, Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil company. https://t.co/vzMij6r9Rd https://t.co/fPJPnYbl3L — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. Spindle claims @Semafor removed @Chevron ads from the climate newsletter at his request. Semafor told Popular Information that was false. Someone is not telling the truth. https://t.co/vzMij6r9Rd — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. @Chevron is one of the leading producers of carbon emissions and misinformation about climate change. Chevron is currently being sued by 20 cities and states for misleading the public about how its products drive climate change. https://t.co/vzMij6r9Rd — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. @semafor denies that its former climate editor, @BillSpindle, left the company over the ads. A Semafor spokesperson, however, told Popular Information that Spindle's departure was "due to issues that were unrelated to any advertising partnerships." https://t.co/vzMij6r9Rd — PolitiTweet.org
