I also applaud President Biden for calling for the FCC to restore the #NetNeutrality rules decimated by the Trump administration to ensure the internet remains open. — PolitiTweet.org

This exec order is a blueprint for restraining Big Tech, calling for enforceable FTC rules to end their invasive data collection that has been damaging to our democracy, privacy, & civil rights. All while tackling head-on broadband companies’ myriad of anti-consumer practices. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must urgently build on these bold actions & codify them into law. Without Congressional action, an economy benefitting the American people remains a dream—not a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve long called on the FTC & DOJ to not only thoroughly scrutinize new acquisitions & mega mergers, but also set clear competition rules & conduct a retrospective review to clean up the existing mess. I’m glad the President recognizes this need for bold, aggressive action. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden is decisively pushing back against corporate giants & taking comprehensive action to ensure our economy benefits American consumers, workers, & small businesses. Today’s exec actions reflect an urgent need to stem the tide of increasing consolidation/rising monopoly power. — PolitiTweet.org

Another Eversource tropical storm failure is inexcusable. The people of CT cannot tolerate another repeat of millions of outages for days on end. Eversource must put people before profits & ensure an effective response to this storm. — PolitiTweet.org

This timely, smart investment in trains—both cars & locomotives—is a solid start, but a lot more is needed for the Northeast Corridor, Amtrak’s most financially successful route. I’ll be fighting for this additional infrastructure investment. — PolitiTweet.org

Apple & Google own the rails of our digital era. We need strong protections to hold these tycoons accountable for squashing competition & manipulating user data for their own ends. I’ll be working in Congress to create clear & enforceable rules for the app store marketplace. — PolitiTweet.org

Even more importantly, separately categorizing sexual assault—& just sexual assault—threatens to stigmatize survivors. I commend the Biden Administration for committing itself to reforming our system of military justice, but there is still more work to be done. — PolitiTweet.org

It is vitally necessary to remove the investigation & prosecution of sexual assaults out of the chain of command, but it is just as critical that all serious crimes be treated in the same way. Sexual assaults are often prosecuted in conjunction with other crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s opinions make clear that when our democratic values are at stake, the Roberts Court is at its most partisan&activist. SCOTUS’ conservative majority clearly believes in a closed democratic system, where it's easier for dark money to buy elections&harder for people to vote. — PolitiTweet.org
