#BigTech is based in California, where there are 20 vacancies on the federal trial bench.

Home-state senators pick these judges.

Guess who @SenAlexPadilla tapped to lead this?

A former top political crony to @Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg.

Fair trial in #BigTech’s federal bench?

"[@SenAlexPadilla] has screening panels led by his adviser Michael A. Troncoso, who previously led political advocacy at [@ChanZuckerberg] established by [@Facebook] founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan."

This is yet another reason that @HouseGOP and @SenateGOP must join @RepKenBuck’s bipartisan effort to rein in #BigTech monopolists.

One of his 6 bills gives the state attorneys general the same ability as the federal government to bring lawsuits in venues outside of California.

The House Judiciary Committee passed all 6 bipartisan bills, including the venue bill, on June 23rd.

Why did @Jim_Jordan whip against all 6?

Why did 5 @JudiciaryGOP -- @repdarrellissa, @RepThomasMassie, @RepMcClintock, @RepFischbach, @RepFitzgerald -- vote against all 6 bills?

Below's how @JudiciaryGOP voted on @RepKenBuck's 6 bipartisan bills to rein in #BigTech

While not perfect, these bills are important

Offer real amendments, instead of gaslighting and carrying #BigTech's water

Voting against 5--even 6--is unacceptable

@Jim_Jordan whipped hard
