President Trump is Facebook's biggest single political advertiser, having spent $274,000 on ads there since May. (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/17/technology/political-ads-facebook-trump.html …) My challenge to you is—can tech workers raise the same $274,000 for progressive Congressional candidates by August?https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

Makes it less mysterious why Facebook has given thousands of dollars the past few months to Kevin McCarthy, Devin Nunes, Steve Scalise, Luther Strange, Mike Simpson, Peter Roskam, Dan Sullivan, Ted Cruz (via Alamo PAC), Buddy Carter, Richard Hudson, Darin LaHood and Bill Johnson

An incredible detail I missed—until quite recently, Facebook's Chief Privacy Officer was also their chief lobbyist. It's her name that appears on Facebook PAC's FEC filings with all those donations to Nunes and other Republicans.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/24/technology/facebook-shakeup-regulatory-scrutiny.html …

Fair is fair, and I invite Facebook to take a deep dive into Pinboard's political donations.
