The Buck stops here: The Tipline for 22 April 2021

Representative Ken Buck and six of his Republican colleagues have said they will not take any donations from the “monopolies” of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Twitter given those companies' animus towards conservative voices. It is not clear that they all have money to turn down after Google and Amazon paused donations to lawmakers that voted against certifying the results of the 2020 Presidential election and Facebook halted all of its political giving. Also in Tipline, we have updates on litigations involving Uber, Lyft, Epic Games and DirecTV.
