Re: Fairness Doctrine. 1) We need to update the Foreign Agents Registration Act (I recommend quarterly disclosures, not semi-annual, and harsher fines/sentences for violations) 2) we need massive personal data privacy legislation, along the lines of HIPAA, + limits

But aside from that, Mitch McConnell has actually been quite a failure at his biggest goals.
