Some of y’all noticed I’ve been uncharacteristically offline. This is why, and I remain on leave for a few weeks to handle a PTSD relapse. CJR was dogged in its pursuit of my story. Because of what I do and who I am, I felt that I had to answer their questions honestly.

One thing that’s striking to be about this (excellent) account is that Lowery was confronted privately about how his conduct made his victims feel MULTIPLE times and did not commit to changing his behavior until he started to see professional consequences

“Attack plans” and “war plans” are very different according to @SecDef, because apparently, it doesn’t matter if anyone in the world finds out about attack plans.

Commissioner Slaughter and I just sued to clarify that we're still FTC commissioners. But this is bigger than us. This is about economic stability. If the President can break a 90-year-old Supreme Court ruling to fire us for no reason, he can do it to the Fed, the FDIC and SEC.

There’s bipartisan agreement that reliable, affordable broadband is a necessity, networks should be resilient and keep up with demand, and no community should be left behind.
But building broadband networks to meet those goals is complicated. We have to do it right.

They added a rider to the Agriculture spending bill that would impede the FDA from issuing a new rule or guidance to prevent listeria from contaminating our food.

Seeing reports that the FCC plans to take a vague and ineffective step on Section 230 to try to control speech online.
So, I thought I'd offer some thoughts on why this Administration's war against the First Amendment and Americans' free speech rights is going nowhere.

Republicans are lying when they say their budget does not cut Medicaid.
It directs our Committee to cut at least $880 billion, and 98% of what’s available to cut is either Medicare or Medicaid.
Trump says not to touch Medicare, so cuts have to come from Medicaid.
