Today, the House Energy & Commerce Committee voted to advance a bill that would ban TikTok and silence the millions of people across the country who use the app to access information, express themselves, and speak out on the issues that matter to them.

This ban could be voted on by the full House as soon as next week. Tell your representative: Vote NO on this unconstitutional bill. action.aclu.org/send-message/t…

Without the Affordable Connectivity Program, millions of Americans like my guest to the #StateoftheUnion, Mr. Milton Perez, would be denied the low-cost, reliable broadband they’ve come to depend on. It’s up to Congress to protect these benefits for Americans & their families.

Every month, more than 1.8M NY households rely on the ACP to help pay for their internet bill. It's one of our best tools to close the digital divide.   The ACP will run out of funds as soon as May, & it's clear Congress must take immediate action to save this vital program.

Broadband is a basic need. My #SOTU guest Briteny Xu understands that. In NY-06 the Affordable Connectivity Program has provided affordable & reliable internet to 62k constituents, including Briteny. With funding running out quickly, Congress must take action & save the ACP.

No matter where you live, every single American deserves affordable high speed internet. Thank you, President Biden. #SOTU

.President Biden knows that urban or rural, red state or blue state, every community needs high-speed internet. We're working together to invest in broadband so everyone can get connected. #SOTU

Tonight President Biden talked about making sure that everyone has affordable reliable high speed internet. But to get there, Congress MUST protect #ACP, by passing Yvette D. Clarke Senator Peter Welch Senator Vance Press Office Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸's ACP Extension Act. With less than 60 days, the time is now.

“Providing affordable high-speed Internet ... no matter where you live: urban, suburban & rural ... in red states & in blue states.”-@potus #InternetforAll is a call to act on a once-in-a-generation investment. We have one shot to get it right. internetforall.gov

Millions of Americans rely on the #ACP to keep their families online and their internet bill down. With only weeks remaining until its funding expires, my bill, the ACP Extension Act, will preserve this program for the families who depend on it. thehill.com/homenews/nexst…

Retirees, veterans, students, people who live with disabilities, folks who live in rural communities—millions of people from all walks of life rely on the Affordable Connectivity Program to stay connected. The ACP is expiring soon. Congress must act. cnn.com/2024/03/23/tec…

In an increasingly digital world, access to high-speed internet is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. If the #ACP is not re-funded, 1 in 6 U.S. households will lose their internet access. Tell Congress to save the #ACP before it's too late! Learn More: dontdisconnectus.org

These big ISPs love to threaten that they won’t take billions of taxpayer dollars if they can’t have their cake and eat it too. To that I say: fine, let the ISPs who will follow the rules take the money to build networks.

The Affordable Connectivity Program is our nation's largest ever broadband affordability effort. I've introduced bipartisan legislation to extend the program so The FCC can continue this crucial work connecting millions of American households to high-speed internet.

The loss of the ACP will deny millions of Americans the opportunities provided by affordable internet access. Without it, many will be left behind, widening the digital divide. We must pass the bipartisan Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act NOW.

This is great news! We can finally celebrate the return of #netneutrality and know we have strong Title II rules without loopholes for telecoms to abuse. Amazing work everyone! wired.com/story/fcc-fast…

No one should have to choose between paying for food or connecting to the internet. Congress needs to extend #ACP IMMEDIATLY.

This U.S. Census Bureau survey is extremely misleading. Smartphones are not computers. Good luck doing school work, applying for jobs, or working remotely with just a smart phone. www2.census.gov/library/public….
