@robreiner "These are Trump terrorists. Call them by their name!" Take a couple minutes and watch @JoeNBC go off on the Sedition Caucus, naming Sens. Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and others.

SpaceX submitted a letter to the FCC telling them to consider ending a $4.5 billion fund that subsidizes voice and broadband in rural areas, arguing that @Starlink has solved the connectivity gap by offering fast speeds at competitive rates. SpaceX: “The Commission’s universal service programs must adapt to a reality where the long-standing problem of high-speed broadband network access has effectively been solved, rendering most legacy High-Cost support mechanisms redundant. In 2025 alone, SpaceX launched over 3000 satellites and added more than 270 Tbps in capacity to its constellation, with Starlink launches continuing at a similar pace in 2026. SpaceX also expects to begin launching its third-generation satellites later this year, providing a 10x increase in downlink capacity and 24x increase in uplink capacity compared to the current second-generation Starlink satellites. And, critically, the Commission’s recent order modernizing satellite spectrum sharing will dramatically increase the capacity that Starlink can make available to customers by enabling overlapping beams from multiple satellites to be placed in the same location. These developments will facilitate significant further improvements in subscriber speeds, while continuing to increase the volume and density of customers the system can support."
