I fully support @FCC's new #drone/#UAV initiativr fcc.gov/drone-and-aerial-dom… BUT I also think FCC should consider the long time it took to address this issue. Perhaps review my early posts fcc.gov/drone-and-aerial-dom…

In advance of today's @SenateCommerce oversight hearing of the @FCC, great to see bipartisan agreement on the importance of forward-thinking wireless policies, with Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC aiming to "restore the country’s leadership in wireless," Commissioner @AGomezFCC emphasizing "wireless innovation through smart spectrum policy," and Commissioner @OliviaTrustyFCC applauding the "creation of a long-term spectrum pipeline." commerce.senate.gov/2025/12/…

In Australia, activists and members of the Ukrainian diaspora unfurled a massive Ukrainian flag. I can’t quite explain why support from the other side of the world feels so deeply moving, but it does. It made my day warmer and brighter. Thank you, truly.

Hundreds of young Russians gathered in St Petersburg to sing the banned song "Cooperative Swan Lake" that calls for the end of the Putin regime. The anthem by exiled, pro-Ukrainian rapper "Noize MC" features lyrics like: “When the czar dies, we’ll dance again.” “The old man still clings to his throne, afraid to let go.” “Old man in the bunker, still thinks it’s nineteen eighty-five.”

RIP, Joseph Giordano: @GWHospital doctor organized a trauma unit that saved @RonaldReagan's life after a 1981 assassination attempt. Recognizing that @POTUS "was close to dying," he led doctors who removed a bullet lodged less than an inch from his heart. xitter.cf/RonaldReagan/status/19…
Today, we mourn the loss of Dr. Joseph Giordano, the surgeon who helped save President Reagan’s life following the 1981 assassination attempt. He once shared this memorable exchange from that day: “President Reagan said to me, ‘I hope you’re all Republicans,’ and I replied, ‘Today, we’re all Republicans.’” Dr. Giordano said, “I’m not a Republican, but I thought for this one day I could be one.”

“Spectrum is so key… by restoring the FCC’s authority to clear these airwaves for the commercial sector, you can raise… $80 billion.” - @BrendanCarrFCC “You want to pay for tax reform… border… deficit reduction—restoring the FCC’s spectrum auction authority is a good win.”

We should commit to remembering Jan. 6, 2021 every year. It was a day when our democracy was put to the test and prevailed. And it reminds us that democracy — even in America — is never guaranteed.
