    H/T Kevin Lynn, Twitter.COM/pfirorg, see Insider's Isaiah Reynolds
    on whether Donald Trump regrets dispatching Jared and Ivanka Kushner
    to Silicon Valley to sue for peace with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://www.insider.com/tech-leaves-visa-holders-and-immigrant-workers-in-the-dark-2023-2>
    | Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft spent nearly $70 million
    | in federal lobbying in 2022. That number isn't so surprising as the
    | past year set a precedent in Big Tech pushback with emerging
    | legislation that proposes increased privacy protections, content
    | moderation, and retribution for corporate infringements. Lobbying
    | groups like the Computer and Communications Industry Association
    | (CCIA), which represents corporations including Meta, Alphabet, and
    | Twitter, ramped up its highest spending in the past 7 years in 2022.

    Does Susie Wiles worry Ken Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will allow Ron
    DeSantis to outflank Trump from the right on the National Question by
    inviting the likes of Mike Emmons onto their campaign stump?

    "Despite him not being the monster libs think he is (frankly he
    should become that), this is why the regime hates Trump: the
    possibility of a critical mass of Americans rejecting its legitimacy
    and deciding to use power to steer this country in a radically
    different direction" - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1566289933995855872>
