Ed Markey: “ICE is terrorizing people, from children and parents on their way to school drop-off, to workers and small business…”

But cutting E-Rate is not a child-safety measure. E-Rate funds broadband connectivity — not laptops, tablets, applications, or online content.

“I’m still reviewing text of this proposal, and I will be looking closely at the details. Building transmission is important. It’s also important not to lock in more fossil fuels and lock out communities.”

We must recommit to bring about lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians, ensuring self-determination, peace, and freedom for all.
