Bill Nelson, the top Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee, is calling for Congress to preserve the net neutrality rules following today's FCC vote to repeal them. Congress needs to fix the mess the FCC has now created with a lasting solution that will fully protect consumers and preserve the FCCs authority," Nelson said in a statement. "Securing these protections will be difficult and wont happen quickly given the current political climate in Congress. But, for the sake of consumers, we have to continue to try. Sen. Ed Markey, meanwhile, released the text of a resolution that would use the Congressional Review Act to reverse the FCC's net neutrality repeal. It has 15 co-sponsors so far including fellow Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden, Maria Cantwell, Brian Schatz, Richard Blumenthal, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jeff Merkley, Kirsten Gillibrand, Tammy Baldwin, Martin Heinrich, Maggie Hassan, Amy Klobuchar, Gary Peters, Debbie Stabenow, Patrick Leahy and independent Bernie Sanders. Rep. Mike Doyle has said he intends to introduce a House counterpart. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
