Big thanks to @politico for letting me wax philosophical about speech online, the need for computers for all, and my favorite author! https://t.co/Bh18LaVg4L
This @uscensusbureau survey is extremely misleading. Smartphones are not computers. Good luck doing school work, applying for jobs, or working remotely with just a smart phone. https://t.co/0ndD9GvYQE.
The loss of the ACP will deny millions of Americans the opportunities provided by affordable internet access. Without it, many will be left behind, widening the digital divide.
We must pass the bipartisan Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act NOW.
The Affordable Connectivity Program is our nation's largest ever broadband affordability effort.
I've introduced bipartisan legislation to extend the program so @FCC can continue this crucial work connecting millions of American households to high-speed internet.
These big ISPs love to threaten that they won’t take billions of taxpayer dollars if they can’t have their cake and eat it too. To that I say: fine, let the ISPs who will follow the rules take the money to build networks.
In an increasingly digital world, access to high-speed internet is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. If the #ACP is not re-funded, 1 in 6 U.S. households will lose their internet access.
Tell Congress to save the #ACP before it's too late!

Millions of Americans rely on the #ACP to keep their families online and their internet bill down.
With only weeks remaining until its funding expires, my bill, the ACP Extension Act, will preserve this program for the families who depend on it.

Retirees, veterans, students, people who live with disabilities, folks who live in rural communities—millions of people from all walks of life rely on the Affordable Connectivity Program to stay connected.
The ACP is expiring soon. Congress must act.

“Providing affordable high-speed Internet ... no matter where you live: urban, suburban & rural ... in red states & in blue states.”-@potus#InternetforAll is a call to act on a once-in-a-generation investment. We have one shot to get it right.

Broadband is a basic need. My #SOTU guest Briteny Xu understands that.
In NY-06 the Affordable Connectivity Program has provided affordable & reliable internet to 62k constituents, including Briteny.
With funding running out quickly, Congress must take action & save the ACP.
This ban could be voted on by the full House as soon as next week.
Tell your representative: Vote NO on this unconstitutional bill.

Today, the House Energy & Commerce Committee voted to advance a bill that would ban TikTok and silence the millions of people across the country who use the app to access information, express themselves, and speak out on the issues that matter to them.
