Republicans on Capitol Hill are looking to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with their recently introduced net neutrality legislation, Sen. John Kennedy’s (R-LA) Open Internet Preservation Act, a companion to last year’s bill by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). After a hard-won battle to roll back the harmful broadband regulations at the Federal Communications Commission last year, some lawmakers seem pleased with the FCC’s reduced role, but are inexplicably doubling down on the substance of the regulations themselves. A brief review of the fundamental problems with banning blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization is in order.

How Aristotle Can Help You Avoid Social Media Faux Pas
How do you choose to communicate with others? So many choices exist nowadays, and choosing the "right" one can be quite the challenge. Suppose you want to get in touch with a friend. Once, your options for doing so might have been sparse: pick up the phone or write a letter. But these days, you have to decide: should you call or text, use Snapchat, or reach out on Twitter, Messenger or Skype?

[Information from this site may not be reliable.]Can political arrangements be dissolved peacefully? Legally? At the ballot box? By referendum? Or by any other mechanism short of outright violence and civil war? According to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the answer to these questions is no. Speaking in California yesterday on the subject of immigration and sanctuary cities, he issued this remarkable statement that manages to upend the entire concept of federalism in just a few short sentences. "There is no nullification. There is no secession. Federal law is the supreme law of the land. I would invite any doubters to go to Gettysburg, or to the tombstones of John C. Calhoun and Abraham Lincoln. This matter has been settled."
President Donald Trump’s announcement that he plans to impose tariffs of 25% on steel imports and 10% on imported aluminum is the first major economic policy error of his presidency. What is the president’s motive? I firmly believe that Mr. Trump’s primary goal as president is to help American workers. Both his tax cut and his regulatory rollback were done for that reason, and workers are benefiting. By contrast, tariffs would not help workers but would cause other problems.
