Frequently, we underestimate the significance of a technological innovation.
We often assume that the next big thing will just be a better version of what we have today.
This is not a new phenomenon. Henry Ford reportedly said that, if asked what they wanted, people would have said “faster horses.” Indeed, we called the first cars “horseless carriages.”
In the future, these probably won’t be called “flying cars.”

Senator Sullivan is a tireless advocate for expanding affordable, high-speed Internet to every part of Alaska.
Today, the FCC announced that we will vote on providing an additional $162 million in support for rural broadband in Alaska.
I look forward to working with @SenDanSullivan to get the job done.

ONSHORE & REINDUSTRIALIZE 🇺🇸
For years, officials in D.C. sent America’s jobs & industries overseas.
That included the Test Labs that examine all of the electronic devices consumers use in the U.S.
Today, less than 4% of electronics used by Americans are tested here.
And there has been a total lack of reciprocity. Over 80% of devices used by consumers in the U.S. are tested at labs located in countries that ban all devices tested in the U.S. or in any country other than their own. That has been a bad and one sided deal for America.
That changes now. The FCC will be voting to require all Test Labs to be located in the U.S. or in countries with Reciprocal Economies.

Democrats in Congress are now pushing to expose young children to transgender and gender identity ideology—without any knowledge or consent from their parents.
Democrats argue that cutting parents out will help kids “recognize their gender identity at a young age.”
Indeed, they want cartoons rated as appropriate for children 7 and under to include transgender, nonbinary, and gender ideology programming without any transparency to parents.
In contrast, the FCC is working to ensure that parents have the information necessary to decide what is appropriate for their own kids and families to watch.

Buddy, I gotta say, between the cargo shorts and the accidental crop top, my dome is a significant upgrade to your look.

The FCC has now added two new categories of devices to our Covered List, which bans new versions from import or sale in America.
1. Advanced robotic devices, such as humanoids and quadrupeds produced in foreign countries.
2. Power inverters produced in foreign countries.
This action follows determinations by Executive Branch nat sec agencies that the devices pose unacceptable risks to our national security.
It includes exemptions for devices that, based on a DOW or DHS finding, pose no unacceptable threat.

I want to congratulate Adam Candeub on his nomination to serve as Assistant Attorney General at the DOJ.
From his time serving at the FCC as General Counsel, to his prior government service at the Commerce Department and Justice Department, Candeub has always brought a thoughtful and fair minded approach to his jobs.
As a professor and former law clerk, Candeub’s grounding in academic literature and research is a benefit to all that work with him.
Congratulations Adam!
