what is Amazon hiding?

 


Do you believe corporations should pay their fair share in taxes?

If so, we need your help to bring Amazon’s secretive tax dealings to light. Here’s what hard-working researchers have uncovered:

  • Amazon infamously paid $0 in U.S. federal income taxes in 2018 while reporting $11 billion in profits
  • It averaged a rate of almost 0% in federal taxes on nearly $25 billion in pre-tax income from 2018 to 2019, while the average American paid a 13% federal income tax rate
  • But Amazon is able to hide the details of its tax avoidance schemes from investors, customers, employees, and American taxpayers
  • And the company’s investors should know how much Amazon is spending to lobby lawmakers to keep its taxes low or otherwise hinder progress on important legislative reforms.

Amazon has a big meeting coming up on May 25 and shareholders will be voting on important proposals — like one to make it expose how it avoids paying its fair share in taxes and another to publicly list the money it spends to influence the legislative process.

We need your help to make Amazon show its math and come clean about its tax avoidance and lobby spending!

Tell Amazon shareholders: Amazon shouldn’t be allowed to pay a lower federal income tax rate than average Americans or spend secret money to influence policymaking.


Please use your voting power to force Amazon to tell investors and the public about how it avoids paying taxes here in America and across the world, and how much it spends to keep beneficial laws in place.

Amazon shareholders have an incredible opportunity on May 25 to make the company stop hiding and be honest with the American people.


We know Amazon does business around the world, but investors and the public are not able to learn if it uses sneaky accounting tricks to move profits around and avoid paying taxes.

We also know that some corporations are spending millions of dollars on lobbying to keep corporate-friendly laws on the books that allow them to avoid paying taxes and crush workers’ rights. But we don’t know the details of Amazon’s lobbying spending.

Amazon’s shareholders have a lot of power. But they need your support in order to make as big a push as possible to take on this massive corporation. Please add your voice right away.

Thanks for taking action,

Thank you

 

Jerry Dickinson for Congress

Thank you to everyone who has made this campaign an incredible, hopeful, and powerful movement all across PA-12.

While last night did not give us the results we were hoping for, this isn’t a loss.

This election showed how powerful a grassroots, people-powered movement can be. This campaign was fueled by everyday folks like yourself to represent the working families of PA-12.

I’m grateful to everyone who has been a part of this movement – whether you voted, chipped in, or spread the word about our campaign.

It’s been an honor to work and organize alongside this amazing team and so many incredible members of our community. I know that the work to create a better future for Pennsylvanians is just beginning, and they’re going to lead the fight.

The work is just beginning all across PA. Let’s keep working towards progress and let’s keep moving forward.

Grateful for your support,

LEFT IN THE LURCH — The left has been gushing all week after progressive candidates defeated more moderate Democrats — and a crush of super PAC money — in several Senate and House primaries on Tuesday.

“The rebellion succeeds,” is how Jeff Weaver, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ former presidential campaign manager, put it to Nightly in an interview.

For the moment, at least, he was right.

It’s still early in the primary calendar. The civil war between the Democratic Party’s left and center is only now about to fully re-erupt. There’s a primary runoff in Texas next week, where Jessica Cisneros, a progressive, is vying to unseat Rep. Henry Cuellar, the only anti-abortion rights Democrat in the House. After that, there are competitive, intra-party House races in Illinois and Michigan, among other places. In Michigan, it’s two sitting House members running against each other because of redistricting: Rep. Andy Levin, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus against Rep. Haley Stevens, a beneficiary of more moderate support.

Yet Weaver is right that the progressives have already won a big chunk of the war. Given their victories in Pennsylvania and Oregon on Tuesday, it almost doesn’t matter how well progressives do from here on out. They will likely expand their influence in the party in November, due to the likelihood that Democrats will lose the House, shrinking the party’s ranks. Those general election losses will have to come from somewhere, and it’s the moderate Democrats representing swing districts — not the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezes and Rashida Tlaibs of the party — who are most at risk.

That’s partly why moderate Democrats justify intervening in this cycle’s primaries in even the most safely Democratic — and progressive — districts. They say they want to guard against Republicans weaponizing what lawmakers in those districts say and do to paint the Democratic Party more broadly as out of the mainstream.

This intra-party conflict, said Matt Bennett of the center-left group Third Way, is likely to become “a little more sharp in its relief as we move toward November, because the theory of the case is really different.” Bennett went on: “Their theory that there’s a magic potion to mobilize low-propensity voters is, well, let’s just say unproven, insofar as it has never worked, and their notion that all of their ideas will appeal to low-propensity voters, particularly voters of color, is also not at all clear that it’s true,” he said. “Our view is that you’ve got to be mainstream, you can’t look like a radical.”

To progressives — especially to progressives this year — that sounds like what Weaver called “a fascinating and disgusting … double cross.”

It was about two years ago that Sanders withdrew from the presidential primary. Since then, the progressive wing of the party has been almost historically well-behaved. It lined up behind Joe Biden in 2020 and supported his legislative agenda once he took office.

In return, progressives are getting hit with millions of dollars in outside spending. Theleadership-aligned House Majority PAC went in for the moderate Democrat in Oregon, who was defeated by progressive Andrea Salinas on Tuesday. A super PAC called Mainstream Democrats is helping Cuellar ahead of his runoff next week.

The repercussions are likely to be long-lasting, both in November and in the next presidential race, in 2024.

“Temperatures [could] be cooled substantially” between the center and the left, Weaver said, “by the corporatist wing standing down, and understanding if they want to win the White House again for Democrats, they can’t go spending untold millions against loyal progressive Democrats.”

But if not, he said, progressives have other options.

One possibility, Weaver said, is that the left will become “much less thoughtful in the future about which incumbents get challenged.”

Or in some places, progressives could even forgo primaries, altogether, running general-election candidates as independents in swing districts. They might not win, but they could split the vote just enough to prevent a centrist Democrat from coming out ahead of the Republican.

“Can they get 5 to 10 percent of the vote in some swing districts?” Weaver asked. “I think they can … That is certainly an option.”

WHAT'D I MISS?

— Senate clears $40B Ukraine aid package: The Senate passed a $40 billion emergency aid package today to buttress Ukraine with weapons and other military help as the Eastern European country fends off the Russian invasion. The chamber’s 86-11 vote clears the legislation for Biden’s signature, just in time to keep the Pentagon from exhausting its power to send weapons to Ukraine from U.S. stockpiles. Top lawmakers in both parties insist the multibillion-dollar injection is just what Ukraine needs to bolster its defenses as Russia approaches its fourth month of conflict.

Video player of President Joe Biden discussing Finland and Sweden joining NATO

— In White House visit, Finland and Sweden’s leaders talk Turkey: The leaders of Finland and Sweden today committed to help assuage Turkey’s resistance to the two Nordic nations’ NATO applications , pledging from the White House that they would continue discussions with Ankara as they work to become full-fledged members of the Western military alliance. The remarks from Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson came during a Rose Garden event with Biden, who conveyed the United States’ unequivocal support for Finland and Sweden’s potential NATO membership and described the bloc as “more needed now than ever.”

— FDA refuses to tell Congress why infant formula response took months: FDA Commissioner Robert Califf refused to answer questions from lawmakers today about why it took the agency months to respond to reports of infant illnesses and a whistleblower complaint regarding the infant formula plant at the heart of the current formula shortage. “We have an ongoing investigation about the details of exactly what happened, from point A to point B along the way, and since it is ongoing, I can’t give extensively more details on that part of it,” Califf said during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing.

— CDC advisers recommend Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 booster for kids 5-11: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s independent vaccine advisory panel voted today to recommend a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine in children ages 5-11. The vote — 11-1, with one abstention — came two days after the Food and Drug Administration expanded the company’s emergency use authorization for its pediatric product to include a booster shot at least five months after a patient’s second dose is administered.

— Ocasio-Cortez calls on Maloney to resign DCCC chairmanship if he primaries colleague: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez today became the first member of Congress to publicly call for Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney to step down as House Democrats’ campaign chair if he ends up in a primary with a Democratic colleague. In an interview today, Ocasio-Cortez called Maloney’s decision to run in the newly drawn district that includes most of Rep. Mondaire Jones’ (D-N.Y.) current constituents “terrible” and “hypocritical” — and she said “it absolutely further imperils our majority.”

— Select committee says GOP lawmaker led tour through Capitol complex day before Jan. 6 attack: The Jan. 6 select committee says it has reviewed evidence that reveals a Republican lawmaker, Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, gave a tour through the Capitol complex the day before a pro-Trump mob attacked. “We believe you have information regarding a tour you led through parts of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) wrote to Loudermilk.

AROUND THE WORLD

MENDING FENCES — Canada’s Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly says she’s focused on rebuilding Ottawa’s damaged relations with Beijing, an effort underway eight months after the close of a U.S. extradition case that ignited bilateral tensions, Andy Blatchford writes.

“We want to make sure that we have a relationship with China,” Joly told POLITICO in an interview this week, referencing the two Canadians jailed in China for nearly three years in retaliation for the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou.

“It is a difficult one — there were arbitrary detentions of the two Michaels: Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. I’m glad that this issue is now over and we’re moving on … My goal is to make sure that we reestablish ties.”

In conversation with POLITICO’s David M. Herszenhorn for an episode of the EU Confidential podcast,Canada’s foreign minister discussed trade deals, Russia’s war on Ukraine, and Trudeau government foreign policy.

NIGHTLY NUMBER

11

The number of GOP senators who voted against the $40 billion Ukraine aid package. Most of the Republicans who opposed the new military aid are unlikely to block Finland’s and Sweden’s bids to join NATO — further easing the bipartisan push amid concerns that some Republicans were growing uneasy with the U.S. commitment to Europe’s security.

PARTING WORDS

OVERHEATED (SEARCH) ENGINE — Republican senators laid into a Google executive at the Capitol Wednesday over allegations that the company’s filters target GOP emails as spam. It quickly turned confrontational, Emily Birnbaum and Marianne LeVine write.

The Senate Republican Steering Committee, the policy arm of the Senate GOP, had invited Google’s chief legal officer, Kent Walker, to discuss a recent study that found the company has disproportionately filtered Republican lawmakers’ emails into hidden spam folders compared to emails from Democratic lawmakers. Walker said there is no bias in how Google deals with spam.

The group lunch grew unusually tense, according to three people familiar with the meeting, granted anonymity to discuss private matters.

“The lunch was spirited,” said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), one of the more vocal attendees. “Google deflected, refused to provide any data, repeatedly refused to answer direct questions.”

The senators’ furor is part of the broader conservative crusade against the major tech companies, who they claim routinely stifle right-wing speech. The companies, including Facebook and Google, have denied these allegations, while researchers have found that there is no evidence that the social media platforms disproportionately take action against content from conservatives.

RSN: Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon | Looks Like Another 'Bad Blue' Just Bit the Dust
Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon, Reader Supported News
Excerpt: "Three years ago, we helped write a report for RootsAction.org targeting 15 corporate Democrats in Congress who deserved to be 'primaried.' We called the report 'Bad Blues.' A common reaction back then was that those establishment pols were too strong and entrenched to be defeated."

Three years ago, we helped write a report for RootsAction.org targeting 15 corporate Democrats in Congress who deserved to be “primaried.” We called the report “Bad Blues.” A common reaction back then was that those establishment pols were too strong and entrenched to be defeated.

On Tuesday, yet another “Bad Blue” apparently went down to defeat – with seven-term Congressman Kurt Schrader of Oregon running way behind community activist Jamie McLeod-Skinner in the slowly tallied Democratic primary.

Schrader is not the first “Bad Blue” on our list to face defeat by a progressive challenger. And he’s unlikely to be the last.

The incumbent heavily outspent McLeod-Skinner – thanks to lavish funding from big pharma and other corporate PACs – but Schrader was out-organized on the ground. McLeod-Skinner called him “the Joe Manchin of the House.”

The current vote count indicates that constituents in that Oregon district will no longer be represented by a Democrat who obstructs progressive initiatives on Capitol Hill, such as drug pricing reform and Build Back Better. (Despite his blockage of Democratic measures, Schrader was endorsed in the primary by Joe Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.)

Next Tuesday in South Texas, Henry Cuellar – now the only anti-abortion House Democrat – may be ousted in a Democratic primary runoff by progressive immigrants’ rights lawyer Jessica Cisneros. As we wrote in our 2019 “Bad Blues” report, Cuellar is so corporate that he gets funded by the Republican-allied Koch Industries PAC.

But it’s not just Koch Industries that supports Cuellar against Cisneros. It’s also Pelosi. And that’s the crux of the problem – a blue wall of corruption and incumbency.

Bad Blues in the House rely on support from old-line Democratic leaders like Pelosi and Jim Clyburn, and cash from corporate PACS that fund the leadership of both political parties.

The good news is that Bad Blues are being ousted by progressives who rely on small donors and support from grassroots activists.

Speaker Pelosi reaffirmed her endorsement of Cuellar against Cisneros even after the FBI raided Cuellar’s home and campaign headquarters last January as part of a corruption probe. Then she doubled down on her endorsement of the anti-choice incumbent just days ago, even after the Supreme Court draft to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked. Meanwhile, as the number-three House Democrat, Clyburn recently campaigned in Texas for Cuellar against Cisneros.

It’s worth remembering – and might be a source of inspiration – that the top of the blue wall of corruption is getting weaker and near retirement. The Democratic House leadership trio of Pelosi, Bad Blue Steny Hoyer and Clyburn are aged 82, 82 and 81 respectively. Well-funded by corporate interests, they serve the status quo. Running on an aggressive change agenda (Green New Deal, Medicare for All, etc.), the grassroots-funded Jessica Cisneros is not yet 30.

Of the 15 Bad Blues we identified in 2019, two have chosen to retire from Congress, and two were primaried and defeated back in 2020. Democrat-in-name-only Dan Lipinski was defeated in Chicago's Southwest Side and neighboring suburbs by liberal activist Marie Newman. And then in one of the most stunning upsets in recent U.S. politics, 16-term Rep. Eliot Engel from New York – the hawkish chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee – was ousted from Congress by educator Jamaal Bowman, who promptly joined the progressive “squad.”

Bowman, after being recruited as a candidate by Justice Democrats, got into Congress because of a grassroots campaign that involved activists from many groups, including the Working Families Party and Democratic Socialists of America.

On his path to Washington, Bowman owed no favors to big donors or to the status quo Democratic leadership. He arrived in Washington ready to fight for the progressive reforms needed by his working-class constituents in the Bronx and Westchester.

Jamie McLeod-Skinner, as the replacement for Bad Blue Kurt Schrader, would not be beholden to any of the many corporate PACs that supported him.

And if Jessica Cisneros can defeat Cuellar on Tuesday in South Texas, she’ll be ready to fight for the interests of her working-class district.

And the rest of us will gain a congresswoman who can help chip away at a blue wall of corruption.

These “risk experts” are risking the planet

 



Right now, as you read this, shareholders at Chubb are meeting to decide our future. On the table is a vital resolution calling on Chubb to stop insuring fossil fuel expansion now.

Chubb remains one of the top oil and gas insurers globally and invests BILLIONS in coal, oil, and gas companies. Pipelines and other destructive projects need insurance to operate; that’s why it’s crucial that insurance companies like Chubb commit to stop insuring fossil fuel expansion immediately. There’s no time left to waste.

It's simple. If your company is fueling the climate crisis, we’re going to make sure everyone knows. Yesterday, RAN showed up outside Chubb CEO Evan Greenberg’s home and office in NYC with a message: insure our future, not fossil fuels. Today, they need to hear from you.

Chubb claims to be a “steward of the Earth,” but in reality, they’re profiting from insuring fossil fuel expansion, and AT THE SAME TIME, they’re refusing to insure customers facing climate chaos because of it! We see right through their hypocrisy. 

Join us in sending CEO Greenberg and other top Chubb executives a clear message: divest from fossil fuel expansion now and respect human rights.

Thanks to your efforts, Chubb has taken steps like no longer insuring new coal-fired power plants, but it’s not enough. The planet can’t wait. We can’t wait. 

Tell Chubb execs how you feel and demand they immediately stop underwriting new fossil fuel projects, phase out all fossil fuel underwriting and investing in line with a 1.5ºC pathway, and respect human rights.

NPR just reported:

 


BREAKING: Historic bill to boost USPS and save BILLIONS of dollars passes House

I need your eyes on this: My Democratic colleagues and I just passed a critical bill that gives the USPS a major overhaul and saves nearly $5 BILLION. But despite this historic effort, Postmaster General DeJoy continues to politicize and run the Post Office as his business rather than a public service. That’s why I need your signature on my emergency petition before midnight to oust DeJoy and save our beloved Post Office. Will you add your name? >>

 

I need you to know three things:

  1. Trump’s Postmaster General DeJoy is a longtime Republican donor.
     
  2. He’s politicized the Post Office and delayed critical mail-in ballots during the pandemic.
     
  3. The Post Office is losing BILLIONS of dollars annually due to DeJoy’s disastrous management.

It’s simple: Trump’s Republicans are doing everything in their power to sabotage mail-in voting and make sure Democrats never win another election.

I won’t let that happen. Mail-in votes are at the core of America’s democratic systems, and DeJoy is HARMING our elections with his longer delivery windows, shutdowns, and price hikes. That’s why I need as many voices as possible -- 5,000 signatures strong before midnight -- to call on DeJoy to resign once and for all. >>

I’m fighting everyday to save our beloved Post Office.

I’ve heard from constituents all across the country about their outrageous mail delays.

I’ve grilled Trump’s Postmaster General DeJoy in front of my committee, twice.

Now, my Democratic colleagues and I just passed this critical bill to save the USPS.

That’s why I have to ask one last time: Will you help me keep up the momentum to save our Post Office by signing my emergency petition before midnight to oust DeJoy, and save the USPS? It would mean so much to me if you signed your name right now. >>

Thank you for acting quickly,

When we fight, we win

 

Justice Democrats


Justice Democrat Summer Lee won her primary against the political establishment on Tuesday night in PA-12! It’s a huge victory and our second primary win of the year. Now, I want to tell you what this means for our movement.

It was hard to start this work and it’s been hard to sustain it. But what keeps us going is your support and our major upset victories. After Bernie’s 2016 presidential campaign, a bunch of us got together and decided to work towards electing progressives that shared Bernie’s vision to the U.S. House. If we changed politics in Congress, we could deliver important wins for the people.

Our first major win came after we recruited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for Congress in NY-14 against one of the most powerful Democrats in the House. We were outspent but our message, our strategy, and our organizing won.

We wondered if we could replicate what we did and elect more progressives in 2020, while also ensuring the Squad was re-elected. We recruited and helped elect Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, and re-elected every member of the Squad.

But could we keep this work up? Fundraising is always difficult, especially when we’re 100% grassroots funded going up against the unlimited corporate money of the political establishment.

Even with a budget a fraction of the size of most other political organizations, we kept going. And we’ve kept winning. We won a primary backing Greg Casar in TX-35 earlier this year. And Tuesday night, we stood with our 2022 recruit as she declared victory in Pittsburgh. Summer Lee overcame millions in Super PAC spending to win the Democratic nomination for PA-12.

The mission of Justice Democrats is to recruit and run progressive candidates often from working-class backgrounds. Candidates from these backgrounds have fewer resources to hire expensive staff who can get their campaigns going. JD helps fill some of those gaps. And with Summer, our team of staff and volunteers helped Summer strategize, organize, and out-campaign the corporate lawyer and corporate Super PACs in this race.

It’s amazing what we can do as a movement working together against millions of dollars spent attacking us — millions of dollars from Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Pharma, health insurance CEOs, and union busters. We do it with donations of $5, $27, and $100 at a time from regular people who want to see Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and student debt cancellation in our country.

We have another primary on Tuesday, when Jessica Cisneros takes on the only anti-abortion Democrat in the House, Henry Cuellar. Cuellar is a conservative Democrat who consistently votes against abortion rights, labor rights, and action to address climate change. Yet, he still has the backing of Nancy Pelosi and high-ranking Democrats in the House.

It’s another race where we’re up against corporate Super PACs and the Democratic establishment, and we need your help to make sure Jessica defeats Cuellar.

Can you step up today and help Justice Democrats win more primaries against corporate Democrats?

→ Yes, I can donate to fuel progressive primary victories and build the Justice Democrats bloc in Congress.

Contribute

I know we can do amazing things together, because we’ve done amazing things together. I’m grateful to be in this fight with you. Let’s keep up our momentum.

In solidarity,
