4. The merging of 2 companies that control almost all of a market seems like a red flag. But it was worse than that The merged company could use @LiveNation's relationship w/hundreds of popular acts like Miley Cyrus to pressure venues to use Ticketmaster https://t.co/12xkykW8RT — PolitiTweet.org

@Ticketmaster @LiveNation 3. After @LiveNation's entry, @Ticketmaster's share of the primary ticketing market dropped from 83% to 66%. @LiveNation had 16.5% THEN, the two companies proposed to MERGE. https://t.co/12xkykW8RT https://t.co/8trl794TOf — PolitiTweet.org

@Ticketmaster @LiveNation 2. @LiveNation, the world's largest concert promoter, used to be @Ticketmaster's largest CUSTOMER. Then, in 2007, @LiveNation decided to drop @Ticketmaster and launch their own ticketing service. @Ticketmaster finally had a real competitor. https://t.co/12xkykW8RT — PolitiTweet.org

1. How does @Ticketmaster get away with charging "fees" as high as "75% of the ticket price"? You can trace it back to the DOJ's decision to let @Ticketmaster merge w/@LiveNation in 2010 And the DOJ's refusal to enforce antitrust law ever since 🧵 https://t.co/jfyKOhi8hi — PolitiTweet.org

10. @Nike probably thinks it can get away with this because no one pays much attention to corporate political donations. For more journalism that follows the money, sign up for Popular Information. It's free to sign up. https://t.co/vfep5SJYud — PolitiTweet.org

@Nike @GOPGovs @TudorDixon @RonDeSantisFL 9. One clue is the on the same day (9/22) @Nike donated $25,000 to @GOPGovs, its founder and chairman emeritus Phil Knight donated $250,000 to @GOPGovs https://t.co/yimoq6c7Y9 https://t.co/N8CuCHKD24 — PolitiTweet.org

8. So why is @Nike supporting @GOPGovs, which is not only supporting Lake but also other candidates with similar views like @TudorDixon in Michigan and @RonDeSantisFL in Florida? The company did not respond to a request for comment. https://t.co/yimoq6c7Y9 — PolitiTweet.org

6. After Roe was overturned, Nike said it would cover abortion-related travel for employees, describing it as an aspect of "quality healthcare." https://t.co/yimoq6c7Y9 — PolitiTweet.org

5. @Nike previously said it would only support candidates committed to "upholding the principles of democracy." Lake also says that, as Governor, she will enforce a total abortion ban passed in 1911. https://t.co/yimoq5Ux6B — PolitiTweet.org

4. @GOPGovs is spending $11 million on ads to make @KariLake the next Governor of Arizona Lake has made the lie that Trump won the 2020 election the centerpiece of her campaign and says journalists who report that Biden won AZ in 2020 should be jailed https://t.co/yimoq6c7Y9 — PolitiTweet.org

@Nike @Kaepernick7 @mPinoe 3. On September 22, 2022, @Nike donated $25,000 to the Republican Governors Association (@GOPgovs), an organization currently seeking to install pro-Trump extremists in powerful positions across the country. https://t.co/yimoq5Ux6B https://t.co/35sDXizvJP — PolitiTweet.org

@Nike @Kaepernick7 2. @Nike's ads featuring @Kaepernick7 were some of the most successful in the company's history. The company has sought to extend its success by sponsoring other outspoken athletes like @mPinoe and promoting her political views https://t.co/yimoq5Ux6B https://t.co/ms23n8L5Wh — PolitiTweet.org

1. @Nike has embraced progressive politics in its ads, plastering @Kaepernick7 on billboards. "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything." But a new political donation raises questions about whether @Nike "believes in something" 🧵 https://t.co/yimoq6c7Y9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ron DeSantis has $177.4 million for his election campaign, the most of any candidate for Governor in history and he just sent an email claiming the campaign was "behind on our daily fundraising goal by $9,554.42" and sent $4 right away. https://t.co/kIXeV6iIkO — PolitiTweet.org

12. On Sunday, "crime" was mentioned 20 times on NBC's Meet the Press, 9 times on ABC News This Week, 19 times on Fox News Sunday, and 3 times on CNN's State of the Nation. Social Security and Medicare were ignored as a topic, save for one passing mention by @SenSanders on NBC — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
11. There have been no stories about Republican plans use the threat of a global economic collapse to force cuts to Medicare and Social Security in the @latimes, @BostonGlobe, @nytimes, @WSJ, @dallasnews, @USATODAY, @PhillyInquirer or @sfchronicle https://t.co/49dpVwvQ9H — PolitiTweet.org

10. A database search of 47 major U.S. newspapers in the Nexis database over the last seven days found 16 stories that discussed "crime" as a major issue in the midterm Congressional elections. There were no stories about Republican plans to cut Social Security and Medicare. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
9. So it's clear why Republicans aren't talking about their plans for Social Security and Medicare. But what's the excuse of America's largest media outlets, which have virtually ignored the issue. https://t.co/49dpVwvQ9H — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. There are NO REPUBLICANS running ads promising to cut Social Security and Medicare because these are very popular programs. Recent polling shows that 77% of Americans, including 76% of Republicans, support increasing Social Security benefits. https://t.co/49dpVwNZnP — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. Bloomberg Government reported last week that top Republicans will use the debt limit, and the threat of a government default, to force cuts to Social Security and Medicare. This includes restricting eligibility and/or across-the-board cuts. https://t.co/49dpVwvQ9H — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. What is at stake in the 2022 elections is the FUTURE OF MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY. Top Republicans have announced a scheme to use the threat of a global economic collapse to force benefit cuts for both programs. https://t.co/49dpVwNZnP — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. But regardless of which party wins the Congressional midterms, federal funding for police will continue to go up, for better or for worse. https://t.co/49dpVwNZnP — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. BTW, there is no evidence hiring more police officers reduces crime. An ABC News analysis "of state and local police funding and overall violent crime data in the U.S. between 1985 and 2020 found no relationship between year-to-year police spending and crime rates." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. The March 2021 American Rescue Plan Act provided $350 billion that state and local governments could use to hire police and correctional officers. 220 Democrats voted for it. Every Republican voted against it. https://t.co/49dpVwvQ9H — PolitiTweet.org
