Google's November FEC filing is in, showing which politicians the company gave money to last month. Right out of the gate we have this $5,000 donation to House minority leader Kevin McCarthy on October 28pic.twitter.com/wvBnWy4n0x

Ben Sasse is a co-sponsor of the First Amendment Defense Act, which would legalize many forms of discrimination against LGBT people. Google gave Sasse $4,500 on October 28pic.twitter.com/UuX6yWiijn
Limited by law in what it can give Kevin McCarthy directly, Google also gave the maximum donation to his leadership PAC, which fans out to a vast slate of Republican campaigns. (Amusingly enough, this PAC also gave a token $100 to anti-abortion Democrat Dan Lipinski)pic.twitter.com/riS6psXe84
Pat Toomey has voted to amend the constitution to ban same-sex marriage, backs Trump's refugee ban, and claims the number of cases of family separation at the border has been "exaggerated significantly”. Google gave this senator, who is not up for election, $2500 on October 28
John Barrasso denies that climate change is caused by human activity, and co-wrote a letter urging President Trump to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Even though he's not up for election until 2024, Google cut him a check for $2500 on October 28.pic.twitter.com/AFeQ46B3Bm
It would be hard to find a more ardent climate denialist in the Senate than Jim Inhofe, a Senator who has also said that he ""does not hire openly gay staffers due to the possibility of a conflict of agenda." Google gave him $1,000 on October 28pic.twitter.com/NDjKqiDwFp
At the very end of the Google filing are two refunds to employees who for whatever reason decided to stop paying in to this PAC. This is an encouraging reminder that Googlers can defund and end this embarrasing, archaic form of legalized bribery, just like Microsoft employees did
Apple doesn't have a PAC. IBM doesn't have a PAC. Microsoft suspended their PAC under employee pressure in June. Google will not collapse like a house of cards if they stop giving token sums to gay-bashing Senators who believe climate change is a hoax and all refugees go to hell
