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.

        hes been bought off by the gop donors, and AIPAC, thats why the sudden change. Even whitmer is acting very friendly towards trump right now, twice she has allowed him to use her as a platform. there is a reason why he hasnt won any significant office since his mayorship of sf, and before his governership. he was mostly not very influential.
