In Washington today, U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan received a letter signed by 47 Senate Democrats and two independents calling on him to schedule a vote to keep Net Neutrality rules active.

Under Trump's FCC chief Ajit Pai, the Obama-era rules to help keep the internet free, fair, and equal will die next week.

Ryan's office would not respond to reporters, and referred questions on Net Neutrality to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Oddly the Ajit Pai FCC doesn't want to chat with reporters about why it made up two DDOS attacks in a bizarre effort to downplay public opposition to one of the least popular tech policy decisions in FCC history. https://t.co/nAQaAjXa7C — Karl Bode (@KarlBode) June 7, 2018
