David Trone (D-Md.) in the closely watched Democratic Senate primary in Maryland.Frost adds to the growing divide among House Democrats, who are split in their support for Alsobrooks and for Trone ahead of the May primary.The Democratic nominee will face a tough general election fight against former Maryland Gov. Larry <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hogan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hogan</a> (R), the popular moderate whose late entry into the race has presented a curveball for Democrats.“I’m supporting Angela for U.S. Senate because she’s spent her career truly listening to people and coming up with innovative solutions to benefit the community. The people closest to the problem are often closest to the solution,” Frost said in the endorsement announcement on Monday.“Angela and I share a similar passion for people and for a society that’s safe and equal for all of us,” Frost continued. “When she gets to the Senate, she will join me in the fight to <a href="https://c.im/tags/end" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#end</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gun</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a>, she will work to <a href="https://c.im/tags/expand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#expand</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#healthcare</a> access so that those who are sick can get well without going broke, she will fight the climate crisis by working for a <a href="https://c.im/tags/Green" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Green</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/New" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#New</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Deal</a> and she will fight for <a href="https://c.im/tags/reproductive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reproductive</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Justice</a>. I’m all in with Angela because she’ll be all in for us.”Frost’s endorsement comes days after Alsobrooks secured a high-profile endorsement from Rep. Jamie <a href="https://c.im/tags/Raskin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Raskin</a> (D-Md.). Alsobrooks has also secured endorsements from former House Majority Leader Steny <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hoyer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hoyer</a> (D-Md.) along with the rest of the House Maryland Democratic delegation except for Trone, himself, and Rep.

Sean Fenian<a href="https://www.theregister.com/2023/10/31/fcc_broadband_subsidies/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theregister.com/2023/10/31/fcc_broadband_subsidies/</a><blockquote>"The US Federal Communications Commission (<a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/FCC" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FCC</a>) has authorized more than $18 billion to be paid to <a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/carriers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carriers</a> to <a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/expand" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#expand</a> <a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/rural" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rural</a> <a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/broadband" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#broadband</a>."</blockquote>Based on the results of PAST such subsides, of course, the $64,000 question — or rather, the $18 billion question — is whether carriers will actually do anything after they pocket the money. If carriers had actually built the infrastructure they promised to build out in return for past subsidies, the entire US would have a robust broadband infrastructure already. And if we had some ham, we could have ham and eggs, if we had any eggs.
