  • For anyone wondering how and not wanting to read the article:

    The Senate typically speeds up the confirmation of many nominees through “unanimous consent,” a process that bypasses a formal vote if no senator objects. By objecting, Schatz’s hold would halt the Senate’s ability to move nominees quickly, requiring Senate Majority Leader John Thune to use precious floor time to advance the president’s picks through the confirmation process.

    So that definitely has some significant limits.

  • Carr, who took over as chair last week after being named by President Donald Trump, said the proposal "could have raised the price of internet service for Americans living in apartments by as much as 50%."

    A number pulled straight out of his ass.
