The goal of Trump 2.0, now fully backed by the supreme court, is to declare any federal consumer, labor, environmental, and public safety rules corporate power doesn't like effectively illegal

if you think such concerns are hyperbole or overstated you're violently misreading the situation

people (and press outlets) get hung up on the droll legalaes surrounding "net neutrality"

but this really is a fight about whether giant shitty telecoms see any federal consumer protection oversight whatsoever

and consumers are losing, badly

Is this where CNN tells me that letting corporations mercilessly fuck the plebs over is "punk" "populism"?

Gorsuch for one (and even his late mother) has held this agenda for a long, long time. With intention and purpose.

Your last sentence above is spot on.

It's going to be very bad!

Gruesome. Grateful you’re using your esteemed voice to spotlight & educate regarding. The SCOTUS shred of Chevron Doctrine last fall, the Bannon ‘dismantle the Administrative State’, Elon’s anti-regulation bulldozer of his bs fabricated ‘doge’, the push to get rid of the CFPB; people do not grasp.

it's why I get so mad watching Dems pretend this DOGE stuff is a good faith effort they can negotiate with

Bingo. Volcanically infuriating. Naive, on the take, myopic, I know not the source of such idiocy; it’s dire. Ro Khanna has shocked me. I watched Elon’s twitter takeover in excruciating forensic detail the 1st 3 or so mos, 2 years ago. BS artist wielding a chainsaw, veiled in pretext & propaganda.
