I’m excited to lead this bipartisan effort with @davidcicilline to break up Big Tech’s monopoly power.https://t.co/7eRO2YJIU4

The ranking Republican on the relevant committee is working with the Democratic chairman to start breaking up Big Tech. This is a big change in both parties' thinking, especially on the GOP side, where they're no longer reflexively opposing govt regulation https://t.co/yONcB3Ybmu

A *lot* of Dem pundits didn't see this coming because they engage in this and can't see policy divisions in the GOP coalition: https://t.co/CEAel7sWjY

Another example. These are all over the place now. https://t.co/psSnjSdVPF

Here's the bipartisan Senators group June 10 statement on the infrastructure bill, which I found retweeted by Mitt Romney:

I'm not sold on the merits of all of these Cicilline/Buck tech regulation ideas, but their existence certainly cuts against the notion that bipartisan policymaking is possible in this day and age. https://t.co/9Cna2naqs0
