BREAKING: In a memo, the @USChamber attempts to provide cover to corporations to resume donating to the 147 Republicans who voted to overturn the election

"We do not believe it's appropriate to judge members of Congress solely based on their votes on the electoral certification"

The memo written by @USChamber's National Political Director, @ashleewrich, argues that only members of Congress involved in "organizing the rally of January 6th or continuing to push debunked conspiracy theories" are culpable

I'll be monitoring these developments closely.

2. Keep your eyes on these bastards- Zuck & friends will try to hide their influence purchases

Never let up- these companies bought and paid for the insurrection. Let them know if you don't like it.
