It fits right in line with the Republican agenda to favor the wealthiest corporations while eliminating protections for the rest of us.\r\n\r\n\t\u201cUnder the FCC\u2019s order today, broadband providers will be allowed to control consumers\u2019 access to content. They will be allowed to charge content providers to make websites load faster or slower. Small businesses may not be able to compete online if they now have to pay every broadband provider across the country in order for their website to work as well as a big corporate competitor\u2019s. And in a chilling attack on free speech, broadband providers could also block content altogether.\r\n\r\n\t\u201cEnding the free and open Internet is an anti-democratic, anti-consumer move that Ajit Pai, Donald Trump, and their corporate cronies thought they could sneak past the American people. They were wrong. The FCC received millions of public comments. Just in the last two weeks, I have received hundreds of calls and thousands of emails from constituents asking me to keep up the fight to save net neutrality. This fight isn\u2019t over. As net neutrality supporters challenge the FCC\u2019s action in court, my House colleagues and I will be introducing legislation to reinstate net neutrality protections. We will keep fighting to keep the Internet free, open, and democratic.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://schakowsky.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=25&itemid=3601"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8908780291676521, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
