Companies like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will control what you access, slow down certain websites or platforms, restrict small websites, raise prices for you to even stream content, censor sites that don’t pay to play, all while passing costs to YOU.

I get sad when I see commercials for a medication I’m on, they seem like they’re having a better time than I am, laughing at a carnival, gardening in a big floppy hat, enjoying corn on the cob at a picnic

Reskeet this until it breaks. Then reskeet it again.
We need to flood Congress with phone calls TODAY to make sure they don't slip the dangerous and misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) into a must-pass year end bill.
