1. In this thread, I will try to summarize the flood of announcements from corporate America over the last few days.
Some of these announcements are genuinely significant.
Others are just efforts to buy time.

2. @Hallmark gets a category of its own. It is the only company demanding refunds, specifically from @HawleyMO and @RogerMarshallMD.
This is especially brutal for Hawley, because Hallmark is headquartered in his home state. This was the cover of today's Kansas City Star.

3. @AmericanExpress also gets its own category. It will no longer donate to any member of Congress that objected to the Electoral College vote on Wednesday. A spokesperson told http://popular.info that decision was permanent. https://popular.info/p/three-major-corporations-say-they
4. Several major corporations have suspended contributions to the 147 Republicans INDEFINITELY. This is significant, but demands ongoing monitoring.

5. A bunch of companies, however, are suspending donations to ALL POLITICIANS for 3 months, 6 months, or indefinitely.
This seems mostly like an effort to wait for things to blow over. But we'll see when the PACs resume activity.

@Visa
@AmericanAir
@ADMupdates
@UnitedHealthGrp
@HRBlock
@bostonsci
@jpmorgan
@3M
@UPS
@CocaCola
@CharlesSchwab
Some of these corps could emerge with genuinely reformed practices. Others could try to resume business as usual

7. The point being that while the events of this week are significant for the future of campaign finance, their ultimate impact depends on what happens moving forward.
It demands continued scrutiny of these corporations actions.
