Scoop: White House loyalty rating for companies

Source: Axios

The West Wing has created a scorecard that rates 553 companies and trade associations on how hard they worked to support and promote President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," a senior White House official tells Axios.

Factors in the rating include social media posts, press releases, video testimonials, ads, attendance at White House events, and other engagement related to "OB3," as the megabill is known internally.

The organizations' support is ranked as strong, moderate or low.
Axios has learned that "examples of good partners" on the White House list include Uber, DoorDash, United, Delta, AT&T, Cisco, Airlines for America and the Steel Manufacturers Association.

Corporations were an integral part of the authoritarian hierarchy, and fascism cannot stand for long without support from the corporate oligarchy.

Nice to have a list of the collaborators if there is to be a Truth and Reconciliation Tribunal after Trumpism is defeated and the repair of our democracy begins.
We should all live so long to see it.

Most large companies are going to always donate to both parties that doesn't mean they are automatically bad.

7. Notice the illegal lack of employment agencies Uber and Doordash on the list

Couldn't read the whole article but likely people who want mango mussolini to protect their illegal business tactics and labor relations or who are hoping to avoid regulations.

The complicity is sickening.

Luckily, I already refuse to use Doordash and Uber

Elsewhere it’s called bribery.
To Trump it’s called business shaking down from the White House.
