(If you're wondering why Apple doesn't appear in this thread, it's because Apple doesn't have a corporate PAC. They are proof by example that there is zero need for any tech company to make direct political donations. Motivated employees could shut these PACS down on Monday.)

Todd Young, who voted to confirm Kavanaugh, got $3,500 from Salesforce and $7,500 from Facebook. Facebook really likes you, Todd, even though you voted to defund Planned Parenthood and oppose the DREAM Act.pic.twitter.com/9HNsf1adsR
