.@JoeBiden & Dems are jamming through a budget that will be full of left-wing giveaways, risks Medicare funding and gives crumbs to working people.
I’m proposing amendments to take on corporate power, which the Dems are too scared to touch. We need to start by axing tax breaks for corps that ship jobs overseas and cheat our laws every day
Then we need to take on Big Tech. We should move to block new mergers & acquisitions for the most powerful tech corps that are killing small biz
Also, on schools. Dems are caving to politics, not science, and want to keep our kids home. This hurts working communities and gives the wealthy a leg up. I’m demanding we don’t dole out any more $$ unless schools open now

Some questions for the #BigTech moguls appearing today on the House side. @tim_cook does @Apple rely on forced Uighur labor in its downstream suppliers? Is @Apple #slavefree?
.@sundarpichai is @Google still developing a search engine for the #China market? Will you guarantee @Google will never censor on behalf of the #CCP?
.@Jeff_Bezos will you commit to making sure the @amazon marketplace is #slavefree?

Utterly false. The female victims, none of whom spoke English, were freed, not charged. The participants in the ring were charged. I’ll never forget seeing the conditions in which the victims were kept -
Not allowed to leave the parlors, forced to eat all their meals & sleep in a small room they shared with other victims. I remember the pink suitcase of one young woman who had only just arrived (from Asia via California), spoke no English, & hadn’t even had time to unpack
Before being forced into sex work. This is the exploitation you are defending. And it’s revolting

Okay, let’s get some facts straight. This article perpetuates a distorted history of Section 230 that I notice is becoming common in some quarters. Myth: Under Section 230, tech platforms & other publishers are treated the same; no special treatment nationalreview.com/magazine/2020/…
Uh, no. This mistake comes from lack of familiarity with the case law. Courts have interpreted 230 to allow platforms to alter & modify 3d party content *without being treated* like a publisher. Backpage, for example, was helping design 3d party content & still claiming immunity
In other words, under the guise of “content moderation,” tech platforms are now acting like traditional publishers but without the liability

THREAD/ Couple thoughts on these well taken points. First sentence below glosses over important tensions. Opening overseas markets/liberalizing trade on one hand & preserving peace / national security on the other are related but distinct goals
And my claim has been that in important respects, Bretton Woods, GATT placed the first in service to the second. Trade was meant to serve the end goals of national economic strength & domestic stability among member states
This is why GATT left such large areas of economy & industry untouched, and allowed nations such wide latitude in domestic regulation. It was never trade liberalizing or integration just for the sake of integration

THREAD/ A few points in response. 1. My basic claim is that to confront #China economic imperialism & protect American security & Econ interests, the international system must be reformed. That includes the global economic system.
2. My second claim is that Cold War economic system and the 1990s-to present system are different & the creation of the WTO in ‘95 in many ways exemplifies this shift. After Cold War, Western Wilsonians aimed to create one global, liberal market. “Washington Consensus” drove this
3. That post-Cold War order has not worked very well for US. WTO again exemplifies many of the problems. WTO treats US & China very differently; eg, China permitted to claim “developing” status and special treatment

How about those CHIEFS #ChiefsKindgom
For those of us who grew up in #ChiefsKingdom, the wait has been long, but I have to say, I’m glad this win came when I could share it with my boys!
My dad played college football and was my coach all through little league - and then never missed one of my games in HS. Football was always something we have shared together. And sharing this with my 7 & 5 year old was something special
