Notably, no word from @PhRMA, @pfizer, or @ahahospitals on whether they'll continue donating to candidates who voted against certifying the Electoral College results https://www.statnews.com/2021/01/12/health-groups-suspend-campaign-donations/
Wow: @PhRMA — which gives a *ton* of lawmakers campaign $$, especially Republicans — says it's pausing political contributions to lawmakers "who voted to reject the outcome of the election." If it lasts, this is a very big deal.
