A Quote by Deb Haaland

In an era when too many Americans are losing their jobs or working for less, trying to make ends meet, in close cases Judge [Samuel] Alito has ruled the vast majority of the time against the claims of the individual citizens.

The inconvenient truth that our lazy media elites do so much to ignore is that Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, and Warren are much closer in their views to the vast majority of ordinary Americans than the Bloombergs or the Bidens.

In the Internet world, both ends essentially pay for access to the Internet system, and so the providers of access get compensated by the users at each end.

The FCC can and indeed should do more to protect the Internet as the free and open environment people have come to expect and depend on - which is why we need to stand up to attacks on the FCC's authority.

Thinking about free speech brought me to media regulation, as Americans access so much of their political and cultural speech through mass media.
