Bohemian Peasant<a href="https://mstdn.social/@GottaLaff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GottaLaff</a> Trump is sitting in the Oval Office but it is increasingly apparent that he is not in control or cognizant of what his administration does. He seems <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/incapacitated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#incapacitated</a> and bewildered to the extent that he is just a puppet of those corrupt and unscrupulous individuals that he’s allowed into his regime. <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corruption</a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/Incompetence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Incompetence</a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/mentalimpairment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mentalimpairment</a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/feckless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feckless</a>

ChrisCall them what they are: cowards. Eliminating all voices that might speak truth to power? Cowardice. Firing the inspectors general to pave the way for your own corruption? Cowardice. Surrounding yourself with sycophants looking to line their own pockets & ride your coattails to a future cleansed of those who would disagree with you? Fucking weak. And un-American. I don't say this to attempt to shame as they are beyond that, but know that history will remember them as <a href="https://coffeebean.social/tags/weak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weak</a> <a href="https://coffeebean.social/tags/feckless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feckless</a> <a href="https://coffeebean.social/tags/cowards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cowards</a>.

Chuck DarwinPress Struggles To Explain How The GOP Killed A Popular Broadband Discount Program, Driving Millions Of Poor Americans Off The InternetThe FCC’s ✅Affordable Connectivity Program✅ ( <a href="https://c.im/tags/ACP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ACP</a> ), -- part of the 2021 <a href="https://c.im/tags/infrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#infrastructure</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bill" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bill</a>, -- provided 23+ million low-income households a 👍$30 broadband discount every month. But the roughly 60 million Americans benefiting from the program are now facing much higher broadband bills because 🆘key Republicans — who routinely dole out billions of dollars on far dumber fare — 💥refused to fund a $4-$7 billion extension.There were several last ditch efforts to fund the program but ♦️none were successful -- thanks largely to Trump loyalist and current House Speaker <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Mike</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Johnson" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Johnson</a>, ♦️who refused to let any of those funding efforts get close to a vote.The GOP killed this popular program. Yet in two different stories this week, both CNET and the Associated Press ❌fail to clearly communicate that to readers. ➡️At <a href="https://c.im/tags/CNET" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CNET</a>, the program simply “ran out of money”:"In May, the $14.2 billion program officially ran out of money, leaving Jackson and 23 million households like hers with internet bills that were $30 to $75 higher than the month before."➡️Over at the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Associated" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Associated</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Press" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Press</a>, the program vaguely died because “Congress” didn’t fund it:"The Affordable Connectivity Program, part of a broader effort pushed by the administration to bring affordable internet to every home and business in the country, was not renewed by Congress and ran out of funding earlier this year."🆘The GOP killed this program. -- The GOP alone. 🔸The cuts heavily harm the GOP’s own constituents. 🔸Nearly half of the folks on the ACP program rolls were military families. 🔸Countless ACP participants live in Southern states where broadband access is spotty and expensive thanks to the GOP’s own policies. 🆘 Republicans killed a popular program heavily used by Republicans and only made necessary in the first place due to failed Republican telecom policies. 🔥They killed it because they didn’t want Democrats and Biden to enjoy credit for a popular program during an election season. ⚠️But neither outlet wants to make the GOP’s fault clear to readers lest they somehow offend Republican readers, sources, event sponsors, or advertisers. It’s part of a general fecklessness that has expanded across the mainstream ad-based U.S. press, and it results in <a href="https://c.im/tags/feckless" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#feckless</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/coverage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#coverage</a> where the ❌GOP never has to truly own its broadly unpopular policy decisions<a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2024/08/28/press-struggles-to-explain-how-the-gop-killed-a-popular-broadband-discount-program-driving-millions-of-poor-americans-off-the-internet/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.techdirt.com/2024/08/28/press-struggles-to-explain-how-the-gop-killed-a-popular-broadband-discount-program-driving-millions-of-poor-americans-off-the-internet/</a>
