Apparently walking pneumonia, which on top of his chronic pain explains pretty clearly why he was trying to get admitted to that hospital in Salt Lake two weeks ago. Instead he spent the night in jail. Sounds a lot like a Todd Snider song. But he won't get to write it.

Sounds like Snider had good reason to want to get admitted to that hospital in Salt Lake. Told them his whole body hurt, which makes sense with a combination of walking pneumonia and getting beaten up. Instead he got put in jail. Very sad that he won't get to write a song about it this time.

Looking forward to Vivek's OH Gov campaign in which he explains how he'll fight to cut high electric rates set by the GOP governors who've controlled the Public Utilities Commission for 26 of the last 30 years. Think he'll go after the AI and crypto data centers?

Everyone in OH knows that kicking an unresolved process to the General Assembly (as provided *by the voters* in 2018) would have meant three new lean-GOP districts rather than two. Reversing that by referendum was a very long shot. A bitter choice for the Dems, yes, but a "betrayal"? Seriously?

Roth wants to completely exempt NY's two biggest ISPS, Verizon and Spectrum, from their state Broadband Affordability obligations because they've been awarded about 7000 BEAD locations.

NY is down to <55,000 BEAD locations - of which most are now SpaceX or fixed wireless - while over a million households qualify for $15 or $20 internet under the state's Broadband Affordability Act. If Roth's "rule" stands, NY should seriously just walk away from BEAD.

NY's proposed BEAD grants will only connect 55K rural homes, of which 13K will just get satellite dishes. But NY's Affordable Broadband Act mandate - defended successfully at the Supreme Court twice - makes $15-$20 Internet available to more than a million households. It's not that hard a choice.
