The US Senate has just voted in favor of REVERSING the #NetNeutrality rollback which Trump FCC chairman, Ajit Pai put in place. This is a major win for the internet, Net Neutrality, and the American people.

BREAKING: We just won the vote in the Senate on #NetNeutrality. Thanks to everyone for pushing so hard. We have more work to do but this is an excellent beginning. — Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) May 16, 2018

#NetNeutrality 52 votes in the Senate to restore Net Neutrality! Time to declare victory ! Onward to the house — Tim Wu (@superwuster) May 16, 2018

The House still has to vote, and it's a long shot. Trump can veto. But our courts could overrule that.

You can re-watch the vote here [CSPAN].

Single most valuable thing from today's #NetNeutrality vote is seeing who's bought and paid for. — ???? ?????? (@xeni) May 16, 2018

Interesting… Louisiana Republican Senator @SenJohnKennedy just voted with Senate Dems in favor of restoring net neutrality. https://t.co/UJqY0pqbCk — Garrett Haake (@GarrettHaake) May 16, 2018

Thune on the politics of the net neutrality CRA vote: "We are having a fake argument," John Thune, the Republican of South Dakota, said about the vote. He said the Senate "is going no where, my colleagues on the other side know that." — CeciliaKang (@ceciliakang) May 16, 2018

HISTORIC: Senators are voting right now on the #NetNeutrality CRA resolution. As of today, we'll have an official record of which lawmakers are on the side of big corporate ISPs when it comes to our digital civil rights. A huge moment for the future of the internet. #REDALERT pic.twitter.com/yJkdAUN66t — Free Press (@freepress) May 16, 2018

Kennedy votes yes on resolution to maintain net neutrality rules — Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) May 16, 2018

The Senate vote is rolling in as we speak (watch: https://t.co/yhadmYog6i). This is going to be an excruciatingly close vote… Don't stop reminding your lawmakers that #NetNeutrality is NOT a partisan issue. 86% of Americans oppose the FCC repeal! https://t.co/VkoZiZdHEd pic.twitter.com/A2Cbr90yhP — Fight for the Future (@fightfortheftr) May 16, 2018

Democrats spent a great deal of effort securing Kennedy's vote. A Democratic aide tells me that Markey and Kennedy have met and spoken on numerous occasions and their staffs have been in "constant communication." #netneutrality — Brian Fung (@b_fung) May 16, 2018
