Senate Democrats plan to force vote on net neutrality May 9th
Democrats in Congress have been against the FCC's repeal of net neutrality rules from the beginning. They've had the signatures in favor of restoring the rules since January, along with a companion House bill (with 80 co-sponsors). Senator Edward J. Markey also introduced a formal Congressional Review Act "resolution of disapproval" in February. Now, Markey tweeted that Democrats will force a floor vote restore the rules on May 9th.

Yes, amazing, the Democrats supported concentrating control of the internet in the executive branch...when the Democrats controlled the executive branch. You honestly think they want to give Trump's FCC the keys to the castle? Do you?
