US Politics, Net Neutrality (+++) 

The Senate passed the Congressional Review Act to reverse the FCC's repeal of net neutrality under Ajit Pai. :D

@mawr the downer here is it's gonna die, either in the house, or at DT's desk.

That said, with this vote going through? It's now an election issue this fall. There *will* be seats changing hands over this (and other issues).

And that's *if* the numerous court cases don't get any traction

@nautilee
I have a sneaking suspicion that it'll make it through the house and die on DJT's desk... but congress can still override a veto. Chances are slim, but I'm holding out hope for what amounts to nearly the only major issue with undisputed bipartisan support.

@mawr bipartisan support? yes. *veto proof* bipartisan support? Snowball's chance in hell.

that'll change in november tho.
