Trump’s rollback of broadband technology funding cut the cord on opportunity for rural and tribal families, especially in Eastern Washington. ‘Digital Equity’ is no longer in the future for poor rural families. the-high-ground.ghost.io/disconnected...

It is easy to forget that when Paul Weiss and the other law firms that capitulated to Trump cut their deals they thought they would be viewed as savvy dealmakers. Now they look like craven fools and gutless cowards.
