U.S. Federal Communications Commission chair Jessica Rosenworcel plans to begin an effort to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules rescinded under then-President Donald Trump, sources briefed on the matter said Monday.
The move comes after Democrats took majority control of the five-member FCC on Monday for the first time since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 when new FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez was sworn in.
The FCC is set to take an initial vote on the net neutrality proposal in October, the sources added.
No contest. Americans fought so hard for Net Neutrality, and then Trump and Ajit Pai popped in and took a steaming shit on everything.
I read that as “a streaming shit”. I guess that works, too.
A shit pie?
More like “a buffering shit,” amirite?
Has there ever been a better example of the government giving the middle finger to its constituents? Nearly 90% of Democrats and 80% of Republicans supported net neutrality and it STILL got overturned. That just blows my mind.
Codify it into law or it will just be destroyed again the next time we’re stupid enough to elect a Republican.
I agree, but we can’t even fund the fucking government as long as the Republicans control the House.
They don’t have the votes. I’m sure they would if they actually had a majority any of the last 3 years that didn’t compose “best we can do” folks like Manchin and Senima.
Verizon would just block it with their corporate veto powers.
Happy that corporate shill Ajit Pai is gone.
Him and his stupid oversized coffee mug
Hahaha I love that clip. And how dare ajit pie bring reeses into this nonsense
Can we dump DeJoy next, please!?! And soon?
Louie’s apparently a world-class windsock. He’s now sheparding environmental causes through the Postal department which is set to revamp their truck fleet.
How was Pai not arrested for all those fake comments in support?
Accountability? In US gov? Sweet summer child…
Remember: elections have consequences.
Also remember that — as much as disaffected and/or malicious actors (or Simpsons and South Park, for that matter) will claim otherwise — the two major political parties in the US are not the same.
Yeah but have you considered America bad?? And Biden bad??? Thought not.
Simply repeating the delusions someone has dismantled is a very, very lame joke.
If it’s any consolation, I’m high and even I understood your sarcasm. Not sure how everyone else missed it.
Lol, and who told you to think that? Fox “news”? Don’t waste your time trying to say some other bullshit either, we all know.
Did my sarcasm go over people’s heads? Should I have used more punctuation?
Within a short time after Ajit Pai was appointed to the FCC chair, there was an article at Ars Technica about net neutrality being rescinded. The article also detailed the many votes against consumers on Pai’s record. I sent a link to my mother, who voted for Trump, telling her that this was partially her fault and that it affected everyone, not just her.
We have a “no politics” rule, now, instituted by me. Our relationship couldn’t survive otherwise. Just tell me about the grandkids, your pets, the weather. Never tell me how you voted to fuck up the world.
Wish we had a Congress that could codify it instead of worrying about the shit show that is admin law. Sadly that’s what America runs on nowadays.
Good news.
congress needs to put it into law which means we need to vote for congressmen that will do that. Granted mine do.

That’s what you get with a quality news source.
This still does not preclude a republican FCC from repealing in another admin cycle.
“The move comes after Democrats took majority control of the five-member FCC on Monday for the first time since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 when new FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez was sworn in.” since the cutting and pasting was literally easier than just typing read the article but now I have typed so much I have done more work.
Jessica Rosenworcel is such a babe
If Menendez resigns, does that mean the Dems lose control of the Senate?
From what I read the governor of the state (democrat) would pick a replacement to fill the rest of his term.
