      Google's FEC filing for political donations made in June (#pride month!) is up. We start off strong with $5,000 to ferocious abortion opponent and self-described "David Duke without the baggage" Steve Scalise, who once spoke at a white supremacist rally, he claims, by accidentpic.twitter.com/mgTYwr3XRz

      Here's a $2,500 donation to Ben Sasse's leadership PAC, which in 2018 gave exclusively to Republican senators. If you love Senate obstruction on DACA, the Equality Act, election security... well, so does Google!pic.twitter.com/MqGpzebsIY

      Google gave $5,000 to Oorah! PAC, which donated $156,583 to Republican Senate candidates, and $19,500 to Republican House candidates in 2018. Google's shrewdly using some indirection here. But Pinboard dereferences pointers!pic.twitter.com/JuR4Rbcwhk

      In a similar vein, this $5,000 donation from Google to the Lone Star Liberty Fund, John Ratcliffe's leadership PAC, which is a third of its 2018 budget. It all goes to Republican House candidates.pic.twitter.com/AoPOImaOkG

      Roger Marshall in 2017: "Just like Jesus said, ‘The poor will always be with us,’… There is a group of people that just don’t want health care and aren’t going to take care of themselves. Just, like, homeless people. …morally, spiritually, socially…don’t want health care.”

      Did Google give to Marshall? No, of course not, that would be unseemly! They gave $5,000 on June 26 to Point PAC, whose only funding recipient in 2018 was Roger Marshall.pic.twitter.com/TBYS4cgXoM

          Also on June 26, Google gave $2,500 to Mike Lee, who you may remember is one of the two senators who put a hold on aid to dying 9/11 first responders this week. Lee is also a ferocious opponent of same-sex marriage, in keeping with the #pride theme.pic.twitter.com/pNvV8qbKDA

          Google gave $5,000 to Eye of the Tiger PAC, Steve Scalise's leadership PAC, which made $1.1M in donations to Republican candidates last year. Eye of the Tiger PAC is notably one of the only remaining PACs that gives to Steve King, the overtly white supremacist Congressman.pic.twitter.com/KyVak8QnHf

          Google gave $2,500 to Ken Buck (disclosure: I fundraised in 2018 for Buck's opponent, as well as Steve King's), who has said "I think birth has an influence over [being gay], like alcoholism and some other things, but I think that basically you have a choice." So did Google.pic.twitter.com/AOgMifxuaV

          And finally, Google made a $2,500 donation to Alamo PAC, John Cornyn's leadership PAC, which gave $345,000 in 2018 exclusively to Republican candidates. Cornyn is also the Senator who (with Ted Cruz) nominated a Federal justice who said trans kids are "part of Satan's plan"pic.twitter.com/kapbQ5N5i0

          Some remarks about these donations. First, they are wholly unnecessary. Google runs an enormous D.C. lobbying organization and throwing a few thousand dollars at candidates changes nothing. Apple and IBM prove you don't need a PAC to thrive as a giant U.S. tech company.

          Second, they are funded entirely by voluntary employee contributions. That means you can talk to your co-workers about where their money is going. The July filing contains a full list of contributors who are given no say in how their money is spent. https://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/569/201907199151474569/201907199151474569.pdf …

          Third, notice what a slap in the face this is to Google's LGBT employees. In the middle of ostentatious Pride celebrations, despite all the controversy over homophobia on YouTube, and @NoPrideForGoog, they decided to give publicly to some of the most homophobic people in Congress

          Even if it were essential to Google's survival to give a bigot like Steve Scalise money, the election is over a year away! They could have easily waited as a gesture of respect to not give during #pride. But not only are the donations unnecessary, their timing is another insult

          I learned in talking to Microsoft that their CEO and President do not review political donations by the PAC. The decision is made by D.C. flunkies without further review. I would be very curious if that is the case at Google. Does @sundarpichai know where Google's money goes?

          Google is full of people who love the company. You believe in it, and you see it as a force for good. I respect that. But the company's political giving to fund bigotry has to stop. It goes against everything Google claims to be, and it could end tomorrow with no harm to Google

          But this is an area where regular employees can win. Your colleagues at Microsoft are having success at de-funding the PAC. Twitter's PAC is down to just *two* donors. I look through the donor list and I see some of the giants of the Internet. These are not their values, or yours
