Walgreens is busted making campaign donations to 11 members of the Republican Sedition Caucus

Walgreens is busted making campaign donations to 11 members of the Republican Sedition Caucus, breaking the pledge that it made after Trump’s January 6 insurrection to suspend contributions to Congressmembers who tried to steal Biden’s win.

CVS supports the repukes too, right? Where are we supposed to shop?

It's so frustrating.

In January 2022, Fast Company reported that nearly 100 corporations backtracked on their promises not to donate to those who objected to Biden's win. Amongst them are T-Mobile, Comcast & NBC Universal, Home Depot, Wells Fargo, American Airlines, Lockheed Martin, and UPS to name a few. Making matters worse, it also emerged that Walgreens sponsored $28,000 to Florida's controversial 'Don't Say Gay' bill.

Nothing in the OP or the link that was in the OP. It 'has been illegal since the 1970s for ANY corporation to give ANY money to federal candidates. So where is the proof?

Why do people keep using this source . . .

It reads like it's written by an amped up tweener with CAPS! and exclamation points!!!!!!!

A poster above actually shared information, unlike the tweet.
