The smart will vote on Net Neutrality rules. A number of senators commented. I ask the quorum call be dispensed with. Without objection. Thank you, mr. President. The innovation and innovation driven economy of the United States. Chairman of fcc decided to repeal critical Consumer Protection known as Net Neutrality. This is a wrongheaded move, misguided and driven by big cable interests that want to gouge consumers and charge them more as they charge for making sure that consumers either pay or have their internet lines slow down. This decision turns the success of what has been an essential 21st century innovation over to those in big corporations, instead of making sure that main street innovators continue to do what they t do best.

The president grotesquely violated his oath of office yesterday, but it went largely unnoticed because of the other grotesque behavior by the president , attacking both the mayor of london and the mayor of new york city simultaneously. Something beneath the dignity of the presidency as it existed before donald trump took the oath of office. If th
