Once in a while SNL makes me LOL for real. And this one made me laugh. Well, it was a chuckle.

Wi-Fi enables more competition in mobile wireless, which is helping drive down costs to the benefit of U.S. consumers.
Without unlicensed access to the 6 GHz band for Wi-FI, that wouldn't be possible.
CASE Op-Ed in Broadband Breakfast: Wi-Fi is America’s Secret Weapon for Wireless Competition
"Prices fell because new competitors showed up that could compete on cost, not because wireless incumbents slashed prices in a sudden act of generosity."

There are rumors of consideration of a tax increase coming from Congress in the guise of a USF reform bill. New taxes on broadband and mobile lines? Really? This passes as a thoughtful agenda on affordability?

The grid has to get more secure and keep growing at the same time. Our new policy brief shows how to do both.
"Securing the Grid While Growing the Grid" makes the case for a security standard that tests every grid device, foreign or domestic, on what actually matters: who can reach it, whether its software can be verified, and where its data goes.

America has the capital and the technology. Now we need a permitting system that allows us to build.
$92 billion in private energy capital is ready to be deployed. Permitting reform can help turn that investment into American energy infrastructure, jobs, and greater energy security.

The chances of catastrophic harm from AI are so much more likely to come from government misuse/fuck up than some wild theoretical sci fi x risk scenario
NEW: An AI-assisted intel report sent the military scrambling to intercept a Chinese ship in the Middle East it believed was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
It turned out to be a hallucination. And it "almost started a war." cnn.com/2026/09/18/politics/…

This.
Beware any corporate person who demands to be regulated. They are just trying to box out the next guy who will invent a better mousetrap.

Holy hell. "Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned. For Over A Year."
Masnick has huge updates on the massive identity verification data breach. And these were for IN PERSON uses. Lawmakers want them for endless online services too.

The stakes for Western civilization's tech sector are higher than most people realize.
At the @ACC_National Summit, Rainey Center President @sarahehunt01 made the case that the AI arms race with China is really a fight over whose values shape the future: "AI is fundamentally about compute, which is about energy. We are in an electricity war for human freedom."

Impressive yet unsurprising that kids seem to grasp the implications of this Meta settlement better than the majority of the media

Louisiana has been sitting on a competitive advantage, and the moment to use it is right now.
Reliable power. Ample water. Resources that the AI economy is going to need at scale.
Louisiana House Majority Leader @MichaelEchols on why this is Louisiana's renaissance, at the Rainey Center's Energize America 2030 Louisiana Policy Lab.

That's what makes places like the Rainey Center different - you get industry experts, thought leaders, and people who disagree with each other, all in the same room. Former NC Representative @JasonSaine on why that still gives him hope.

Good gravy.
We are desperately trying to undo Huey Long's broken policies here in Louisiana to reverse outmigration and 100 years of bad economic outcomes.
Now the populist/post liberal/natcon intelligentsia wants to embrace the Kingfish's legacy? Stop it.

Hey legislators, @RepJakeJohnson says you should be in the room at our next State Policy Lab and National Summit. You won't agree with everyone - That's the point. You'll leave with facts, good conversations, and not just talking points.

The software isn't the most significant threat to election integrity. The people lying into a microphone are.
In "Prosecutors Busted the Biden Deepfake Without an AI Law. That's the Point," Rainey Center's Bartlett Cleland (@MaderyBridge) argues lawmakers are aiming election deepfake laws at the wrong target.

The technology is new. The crime isn't.
Rainey Center's Bartlett Cleland (@MaderyBridge) argues in "Prosecutors Busted the Biden Deepfake Without an AI Law. That's the Point" that deepfake laws keep failing in court - because the real fix was never a new statute, it's enforcing the old ones against fraud and impersonation.
