@HawleyMO@Mastercard@ATT In January, @ATT told Popular Information that it will "suspend contributions to members of Congress who voted to object to the certification of Electoral College votes."
@kroger 2. @kroger has been enjoying record profits: $2.9 BILLION over the first 3 quarters of 2020. That's $1.2 BILLION IN EXTRA PROFITS compared to the first 3 quarters of 2019.
3. In September, @kroger announced it would spend $1 billion in stock buybacks. This will increase the stock price in the short term, increasing compensation for corporate executive that are paid in stock grants and options.
@WSJ 2. Republican and Democratic lawmakers tell the WSJ that they will not help corporations water down or kill progressive legislation unless the money starts flowing again!
@WSJ 3. Republican members of Congress are considering banning corporate lobbyists from their offices, presumably unless they start writing checks again
5. @Publix has also donated thousands to state legislators who pushed to overturn the election
Publix donated 10.5K to 10 members of the Georgia legislature who argued millions of votes be thrown away so that Trump could be installed for a 2nd term
@Publix 2. Florida @GovRonDeSantis helped lay the foundation for the riot beginning in November. He encouraged people in PA and MI to contact their state reps and demand they throw away millions of votes.
@Publix then donated $1 MILLION to DeSantis in December
1. @Publix heiress Julie Jenkins Fancelli gave $300K to finance the January 6 event that turned into a riot.
That was the bulk of the funding.
Publix is saying they have nothing to do with Francelli.
BUT Publix that isn't the full story.
@Publix 2. @Publix is one of a handful of companies that has said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about whether their intend to keep donating to the 147 members of Congress who voted to overturn the presidential election.
3. In the 2020 cycle @Publix donated $3000 to Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), who voted to overturn the election, and $2500 to Senator Tommy Tuberville (AL), who also voted to overturn the election.
Publix refuses to say anything at all about these donations
