The proposal comes after Republicans killed a federal FCC program that provided a $30 discount off the broadband bills of low-income Americans. The Republicans in question claimed they killed the popular program to save money, but a follow up study showed that the program more than paid for itself (by a factor of four) because it helped expand access to remote healthcare, employment, and education.

My state fighting a good fight. We’re flawed, but we sometimes get it right.

Trump....wha! No ever loving way! Let's protect the poor from 5G! If you don't make enough money there must be a law to prevent you from confusion from 5G! Yeah that's it! A big guy came to me, big, crying! I haven't got any 5G Mister Orange man. And I asked him, are you homeless my man? He said yes, so I told him how confusing 5G could be for him. So he stopped crying and had one of my McDonald's cheeseburgers. Big guy crying.
