Here's Wikipedia on Pete Olson: "Olson sponsored the Civil Rights Uniformity Act of 2016 (HR 5812) which would strictly limit the definition of gender to the person's biological gender assigned at birth." Google just gave his campaign $1000.pic.twitter.com/DhJGOaAEqG
In the same spirit, in 2016 Rep. Martha Roby said the Obama administration had "lost their minds" when they encouraged states to let transgender public school kids use the bathroom of their choice. Google gave her campaign $1000 in March.pic.twitter.com/TG2E1pmr5v
Rob Portman has repeatedly voted to defund Planned Parenthood, and sponsored legislation to make it a crime to transport a minor across state lines to get a legal abortion if it circumvents state laws mandating parental involvement. Google gave his leadership PAC $5000pic.twitter.com/ssvEt7Z6bU

On the eve of the 2018 election, Chuck Grassley strongly endorsed Steve King (https://www.facebook.com/KingforCongress/videos/senator-grassley-on-why-he-supports-steve-king/342759393147834/ …) , the openly white supremacist Iowa congressman. [Disclosure: I fundraised for King's opponent]. Even though Grassley is not up for election until 2022, Google gave him $2500.pic.twitter.com/Hutpio1Gzi
In 2017, Greg Gianforte slammed a Guardian reporter to the ground and began punching him. He was later cited for misdemeanor assault. Major Montana newspapers rescinded their endorsement of Gianforte, but Google gave him $1000 on March 28pic.twitter.com/E0RzCoe7f0

An entity called "Making America Prosperous PAC" gave Steve King (the white supremacist congressman) $5000 in 2018, and Google gave them $5000 last month. Indirection!pic.twitter.com/fUNyGYKW4P
If you work at Google, you can shut this stuff down. Talk to your fellow employees donating to Google NETPAC (you can find a full list in the filing here (http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/227/201904199149547227/201904199149547227.pdf …) and make sure they know where their donations are going.
You can see right from the filing that pretty much everyone who gives to Google NETPAC is donating by payroll deduction. This means they agreed to give part of their paycheck to political donations and haven't thought about it since. Many likely don't know what they're funding.
