1/ The FCC will vote on the future of net neutrality today, which requires internet service providers to treat all web traffic equally. The measure is expected to pass 3-2 with the Republican appointees supporting repeal and the Democratic appointees opposing. 52% of voters support the rules that are in place.

1/ The FCC voted to repeal net neutrality

There’s also this story from Politico last night.

FCC's own chief technology officer warned about net neutrality repeal

Russia-related intelligence, specifically, is usually only included in the written assessment and not addressed orally.

So basically they’re not informing the President regarding anything Russian related??

3/ Paul Ryan is considering retirement.

Everything I read about this, just leaves me more confused…he’s leaving “after the 2018 mid-terms”, do that mean that he is not running for reelection? or if he’s reelected in 2018, that would be his last term?
