To be clear, it's illegal for corporations to give money directly to federal candidates. This is a tally of donations from employees of those companies, which makes this a function of workforce ideological leanings more than anything else.
It's interesting that every company in that list (except Walmart) had a massive spike in contributions to the blue team starting in 2016.
