Twitter has closed its political action committee and donated its surplus cash — more than $117,000 — to a pair of charities. Of the charities benefiting from Twitter's money, one focuses on engaging Latinos in the political process, and the other works to "eliminate racial discrimination, champion social justice, and improve race relations" in sports. "This funding will be used to further our mission of promoting full, nonpartisan participation of Latinos in the American political process, from citizenship to public service," Vargas said. To better support and defend our users, Twitter has created #PAC." Despite axing its PAC, Twitter still maintains a robust lobbying presence in Washington, DC.

Robert and Rebekah Mercer ranked among President Donald Trump's most influential backers in 2016. A representative for Priorities USA Action, a leading pro-Biden super PAC, said the organization wasn't underestimating Trump's reelection forces, Mercers or no Mercers. (Bossie, like former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and many others, has recently found himself back in Trump's favor.) The Cambridge Analytica data that the Trump campaign paid for was "so stupidly wrong" and a "complete joke," Spicer added. But sources familiar with the Mercers' political spending said they have no evidence that the Mercers are doing so.

And it's also hired a slew of professional writers and video producers from companies such as Variety, YouTube and yes, Bleacher Report.
