      The Great Slate has supported Poliquin's opponent, @golden4congress, a former Marine and assistant minority leader in the Maine House who is running at a terrific financial disadvantage to Poliquin, but has a chance to win in November if we can fund him.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

      If you work at Amazon, Google, Twitter, Facebook, or Microsoft, know that your labor is being used to fund large donations to Republicans like Poliquin, Cruz, Nunes, Scalise and worse. Have a look at https://donationsfrom.tech  for some good examples. Make a ruckus to your CEO!

      Here's Amazon giving $1K to Republican Ken Buck (running against the Great Slate's @McCormickForCO). Buck once refused to prosecute a rape case where he had an audio confession because he thought the jury would see it as a case of "buyer's remorse". Thanks, Amazon!pic.twitter.com/PiLPssHATF

          And these are just the obvious direct donations. All of these companies also fund other PACs, which allow them to funnel more money to Republican candidates while obscuring the trail. Microsoft gave a huge donation to Roy Moore this way, for example. Reporters should dig in more!

          I wonder how it feels for @JanzforCongress to buy Facebook ads knowing the company PAC is actively bankrolling his opponent, Devin Nunes. Facebook and Twitter should immediately shut down their political action committees.

          I can't overstate how full of interest recent tech industry political giving is for any reporter willing to spend a few hours with FEC filings. The flow of money is mostly obfuscated through intermediary PACs (similar to how shell companies work) but it rewards patient study!

          The real hero in all this is the excellent FEC website. Go to http://fec.gov  -> campaign finance data -> filings and reports -> PAC and party committee reports and use the filter box to search for your employer, to find out what your backbreaking office labor is funding.

          If you're wondering why I don't pick on Apple's political donations, it's because they don't have a PAC. The other tech companies could (and should!) shut theirs down tomorrow with zero impact on their business interests. There is no defense for this legal form of bribery.pic.twitter.com/Jp6m5pQPQT

          So who is making these political decisions? It's not the donors—typically high-level executives pay into a company PAC automatically, and if you look at personal political donations from people like Sheryl Sandberg or @boztank, none of them go to people like Scalise or Nunes.

          McHenry was also rude to Elizabeth Warren in a hearing to such an extent that his hometown paper felt compelled to apologize. The pattern seems to be, if you're an asshole to Elizabeth Warren (Daines, McHenry), Facebook PAC will give you thousands
