Emboldened by Donald Trump's election win, Republicans are seeking big changes to a $42.45 billion broadband deployment program. Their plan could delay distribution of government funding and remove or relax a requirement that ISPs accepting subsidies must offer low-cost Internet plans.

US Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued a press release titled, "Sen. Cruz Warns Biden-Harris NTIA: Big Changes Ahead for Multi-Billion-Dollar Broadband Boondoggle." Cruz, who will soon be chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, is angry about how the National Telecommunications and Information Administration has implemented the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program that was created by Congress in November 2021.

7. His daughter seems to hate his guts

his wife probably doesn't let him touch her after letting Caligula shame her, when he should have slapped his face.

He might as well screw the poor. Word was he single handedly killed renewal of that internet discount we got for $30 per month. Spectrum just went to $90. Thanks Cruz.
