Flock and other spy camera company CEOs were asked by @HawleyMO to answer questions at a Senate hearing tomorrow. All of them refused. This is a clear attempt to avoid accountability. The American people deserve answers.

Today, a California commission will vote on a plan that risks trading the state’s net neutrality protections in exchange for federal broadband funding.
@CAgovernor has a choice: step in and reject Trump’s money or take the dirty deal and sacrifice California’s sovereignty.

Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks welcomed three new Democrats to the Committee: @RepDWStweets, @RepMarkPocan and @RepWesleyBellMO.
Additionally, @RepMoskowitz will now serve as Ranking Member of the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee and @rep_jackson will serve as Ranking Member of the Oversight and Intelligence Subcommittee.

The Senate just confirmed a new chief spy, a Trump crony who went after @nytimes reporters and investigated DEMOCRATS’ Epstein ties—all to please the president.
Because this man will be point on handling intelligence, Congress must enact warrant requirements to stop FISA abuse.

Today, Demand Progress Education Fund put up a billboard outside the @FTC and @TheJusticeDept with one message: NETFLIX IS A MONOPOLY.
These agencies can’t ignore it any longer.
Community note
A monopoly is defined as a company that has "exclusive control of a particular market that is marked by the power to control prices and exclude competition".
Netflix is by definition not a monopoly on account of having many different competitors of similar size.
