Georgia alone was allocated $1.3 billion (from the VP Harris led $42 billion initiative) to provide Internet to over 315,000 unserved homes & businesses in that state. As Marjorie Taylor Greene notes, 1,000+ days later, not one home or business has been connected in Georgia with those dollars.

In 2021, Vice President Harris agreed to lead the Administration’s $42B plan to expand Internet to millions of Americans. 1️⃣,0️⃣3️⃣9️⃣ days later … Not one person has been connected to the Internet. None. With VP Harris at the helm, Politico recently reported on the “frustration” and “finger-pointing” that now define the program’s “messy, delayed rollout.” One state official described “a chaotic implementation environment,” “dysfunction,” and “delays.” She added that the Administration “has provided either no guidance, guidance given too late, or guidance changing midstream.” The Administration is “slowing states down,” she said. So what has the Administration been doing over the last 1,039 days instead of connecting Americans? It has been layering on red tape and advancing a wish list of progressive policy goals. The $42 billion program led by Vice President Harris is being used to pursue a climate change agenda, DEI requirements, price controls, preferences for government-run networks, and rules that will lead to wasteful overbuilding. All of this will leave rural and other unconnected communities behind. Thank you to Chairman Rep. James Comer and House Oversight Committee for the chance to testify on this failure of implementation.

Inmates have been using contraband cellphones to order hits, orchestrate kidnappings, traffic in CSAM, and more. 25,000 of these devices are pulled out of prisons every year. Pleased the FCC will be voting to allow states to jam contraband phones. ❌NO BARS BEHIND BARS ❌

AMERICAN DRONE DOMINANCE I just visited with Anduril for demonstrations of their drone & counter-drone technologies. Today, the FCC is launching a proceeding to support our domestic drone industry. President Trump has been clear that America’s innovators will lead the way. 🇺🇸

The ratings for legacy late night shows have been in a free fall. And you now have local TV stations that no longer want to air that programming. They’re pushing back and making programming decisions that they believe are responsive to the local communities they serve.

The Trump Administration is adding rocket fuel to America’s space economy. Finishing up a great visit to Midland, TX with Chairman Senator Ted Cruz where we toured a high-tech satellite manufacturing plant that’s been adding jobs & expanding production. Great for the country! 🇺🇸

Americans have been subsidizing broadcast media to the tune of billions by giving TV stations free use of a valuable public resource—the airwaves. In exchange, broadcasters are required to operate in the public interest. The FCC is holding them accountable to that standard.

All broadcasters have an obligation to operate in the public interest—even Disney. Indeed, broadcasters made a deal with the American public—in exchange for free access to a valuable public resource (the airwaves) they agreed to meet their public interest obligations. This sets them apart from cable channels or podcasts or newspapers. While Disney has now filed a meritless case based on their own campaign of disinformation, the FCC will follow the facts and the law wherever they go.

AMERICAN DRONE DOMINANCE 🇺🇸 President Trump’s policies are creating jobs & onshoring manufacturing—including here in North Carolina’s Sandhills. Great to join Richard Hudson at Dracoe. After Trump’s Executive Order, they secured the investment to build this new drone manufacturing plant.
